The Jackson Audio The Optimist Corey Wong - Classic Edition is a virtually mint condition overdrive pedal that expertly combines vintage circuitry with modern enhancements. This pedal features two overdrive sections, OD1 and OD2, with OD1 based on a highly sought-after overdrive circuit known for its natural and legendary tone, enhanced by uniquely "washed" germanium diodes. OD2 offers a flatter response, ideal for rhythm playing and boosting OD1. Adding versatility, it includes a studio-grade three-band Baxandall EQ, adjustable via controls that light up when activated. This setup improves upon the original circuit, allowing for a wide range of tones suitable for various playing styles. Treated as if new, it comes complete with its original packaging.
