It's a great buy for blues players who want a bit 'more' out of their amps, but it will suit any player who wants extra dirt while retaining their core tone.” Transparent" Overdrive Comparison | Boss BD-2, SS/BS mini, EQD westwood, and DOD looking glass by Megan L. DOD Looking Glass overdrive. Great for your main overdrive or add it to another pedal!! #dig_it by Digitech Jonni and Ford together at Guitar Center San Diego. Showing CabDryVR, Looking Glass, FreqOut on guitar and Nautila on Bass!! #dig_it. by Digitech Because of how the pedal produces its gain you always get a beautiful amp like gain. With the gain down low you get clean and low gain boost tones that don't overly colour your amplifier. Crank it up a few notches and you start to get some extremely powerful gain tones that respond like an old vintage amp pushed beyond where it is comfortable. Think Jimi Hendrix era psychedelic tones and you are in the right ball park for what this pedal can do.

With a touch-sensitive response and clever EQ options, the Looking Glass is a well-designed transparent overdrive pedal that will suit just about any guitar/ amp combination, clean or dirty”. Getting a balance between the bottom two, tone-influencing knobs proved a little challenging, but was well worth the work. Other pedals with more limited tone controls can sound quite specifically good or bad depending on the guitar and amp they are paired with. But these two controls, along with the design of the pedal, ensure that you can properly match the tone of this pedal to your specific guitar and amp combination.

DOD Looking Glass and DigiTech CabDryVR with the Polara Reverb ran after the CabDryVR. Gets that "amp in a big room sound". #dig_it by Digitech

DOD Looking Glass!! Great country break-up sound and very transparent distortion!! You need this on your board!!! #dig_it by Digitech Total Guitar award their ‘Best Buy’ accolade to the DOD Looking Glass Overdrive pedal in the new issue of the magazine. The Looking Glass Overdrive is collaboration between DOD and the boutique pedal company SHOE Pedals. Christopher Venter of SHOE Pedals is known for his unique circuits, colourful perspective on classic effects, and minimalist design aesthetic. Finding an overdrive pedal sound that suits the exact sound you’re emulating or creating can often be a hard task. The Digitech DOD Looking Glass overcomes this by having controls that cover an entire spectrum and history of driven tones. We felt for the clean channel, the boost was unnecessary and made the sound slightly cluttered and abrupt. Even diming out the gain and peppering the bottom two knobs, we felt this pedal wasn’t mated well to this channel. The dimed-out gain in the low gain setting sounded akin to a Fender twin pushed to breakup . We understand some of our readers will relish this sound, though, and it was well suited to a Beatles-esque application. A standard, heavy-duty footswitch allows for On/Bypass operation and with the unit on, a blue indicator light illuminates so brightly that even the blind can see it.The Looking Glass is a true bypass pedal, which allows the guitar tone to remain pristine even when the device is off. The power supply input makes it pedalboard-friendly, and it can also be powered by a 9V alkaline dry battery. We have gotten requests to hear what the DOD/SHOE Looking Glass Overdrive sounds like on bass so I had Jonni rip through some settings at our last practice. by Digitech The bass cut function subtracts bass content in the signal before it hits the pedal’s gain stage, which keeps the low-end tight, focused and airy. Another note about the bright LED: it’s great for an outdoors gig, but we found it a bit overbearing on a very dark stage. Sound Throughout our sound testing, there was a definite sweet spot when dialing in the bottom two knobs. On any channel, we had bad, good and great tone, depending how much we used our ears and learned the function of these three control knobs. Spending a little bit of time understanding the pedal went a long way for us.

The Looking Glass is true bypass, which allows your guitar tone to remain pristine even when the it is off and the power supply input makes it pedalboard friendly. The bass cut and treble controls allow you to tighten your guitar’s tone, or to let it loose for a less structured drive. The gain control determines how much you distort your sound, varying from a light layer of compression to an aggressive, raw punch emulating an amp at its brink. Whether it’s modern, vintage, light or heavy overdrive you’re looking for, the Looking Glass has it all. Boutique roots The Looking glass pedal has been made in collaboration with DOD and the boutique company SHOE Pedals. SHOE has been known to create pedals that can vary between classic sounds of the past, all the way to the modern sounds that artists are using right now. The collaboration has led to a pedal that has Digitech’s precise manufacturing and technological expertise, with SHOE Pedals’ imagination and pursuit for a tone ideal for live, studio, or casual user.
