With a circuit inspired by the iconic Marshall Bluesbreaker, the Spruce Goose from Electro-Harmonix is an overdrive pedal that will elevate your guitar tone to new heights. Retaining all the rich breakup, clarity, and dynamics of the original, the Spruce Goose injects enhanced gain output, expanded EQ controls, and a Lift switch with three gain settings, to send your tone flying.

Ideal for everything from meaty chords to soaring leads, Spruce Goose provides natural breakup and an amplike response from its circuitry. The active Bass knob lets you dial in the low-end response for added girth on single-coil guitars or tightening low frequencies on humbuckers, while Treble control lets you add bite or air to your tone. Separate Volume and Gain controls make it easy to set the perfect breakup without blowing your windows out. And with a mechanical relay true bypass, you get a direct input-to-output connection with zero effect on your signal, while two custom bypass settings let you either tap your effect off (latching) or hold it down (momentary) for temporary blasts of gain. The Spruce Goose includes a 9V battery.

Lift Goose's input signal before it hits the overdrive circuit. The mid position provides 9 dB of gain, which helps get more drive from low-output pickups. The high position provides 21 dB of gain, adding even more saturation and distortion. The low position does not provide any additional gain.

Unlike the pedal that inspired the Spruce Goose, you get two bands of EQ for superior tone control. The Treble knob acts as a high-end boost, providing an increasingly brighter signal as the knob is turned clockwise. The Bass knob offers boosting or attenuation with a flat response at noon, an increased bass presence when turned clockwise, and a cut bass response as it's turned counterclockwise.

The soft footswitch works both like a standard latching footswitch and a momentary footswitch. The latching action means each press and release of the footswitch will toggle between bypass and effect modes.

A momentary change between bypass and effect occurs when you press and hold the footswitch. The Spruce Goose changes state immediately upon pressing the footswitch. If you continue to hold the footswitch for more than half a second, it will return to the previous state when you release it. You can also disable the momentary function completely if desired.
