This year at NAMM 2017 Electro-Harmonix has debuted their new stereo overdrive/distortion pedal, the Operation Overlord. This grit pedal is glorious and something that can be used by pretty much your whole band, from a bass guitar, guitars, keyboards and well pretty much any other kind of electronic instrument you can plug into it.
The Operation Overlord pedal marks the second pedal announcement from Electro-Harmonix at the recent NAMM 2017 after the unique BLURST Modulated Filter pedal.
