Euphoria Overdrive
The Euphoria has been world renowned for many things over the years, but primarily it has become famous for its versatility and that old boutique catch phrase “transparency”.
When Brian created the circuit that would eventually become the Euphoria, he was working on creating a pedal that would go from clean tones to extremely fat tones while adding a bit of warmth, a natural overdrive… the goal was to make a pedal that does NOT sound like a pedal – it needed to be dynamic, have a great choice of tones (from gritty to smooth) yet be able to respond to the volume knob like a tube amp.
The hidden secret of the Euphoria is the pre-gain bass control. This gives the tone a fatness that a regular EQ stack cannot give you, it gives you a warmth and sustain to the tone that is extremely similar to that famous, elusive amp that attracts the the kind of price tag in the used market that could literally buy you a home.
If you love the sound of your clean tone, and just wish you could have more hair on the note… a little bit of grit without any change in tonality, the Euphoria will do that with ease. The 3 completely separate gain stages give you 3 distinct styles of overdrive – So, from that famous smooth amp style drive, to an open and free tone that just pushes your natural tone all the way up to a more aggressive crunch style, the Euphoria will be the first, and quite possibly last, choice you make for an overdrive pedal.
B-Stock Pedals may include minor blemishes, have been opened, have damaged packaging, or used lightly in some manner - but the pedal will be considered as "like new condition" and carries a full factory warranty. Unit operates 100% as brand new pedal.

A Modern Classic
The Euphoria has been widely regarded as one of the best overdrives ever released – versatility, control, organic sounding overdrive and being able to go from gently clipping to full on aggressive crunch has made it the kind of pedal you need on your board no matter what genre you play!
Complete Control
3 modes of ‘clipping’, pre-gain bass, tone, volume and gain… 5 simple controls and IS the pedal that can cover almost all grounds. The magic happens when you start stacking it – it can take anything or go into anything…
3 modes and the truth
Smooth Mode – A warm ‘D ‘style overdrive, fat and rich, powerful with a strong sustain, your tone deserves this perfectly rounded and smooth overdrive… Open Mode – It just adds dirt and grit to your tone, minimal coloration, just beautifully clear overdrive… Crunch Mode – Careful with the bass, you can almost get fuzzy here, or just give the impression you’ve added 100w and 4 more speakers to your amp!
