Great Eastern FX Co. SSO | Small Speaker Overdrive
Super Dynamic Overdrive That Cuts Through The Mix - Inspired By Classic Small-Amp-In-The-Studio Tones
The Small Speaker Overdrive (SSO) captures the essence of classic low-gain overdrive tones found in small studio amps, reminiscent of legendary players like Steve Cropper, Eric Clapton, Duane Allman, and Joe Walsh. Its discrete transistor circuit ensures exceptional dynamics, allowing precise control over breakup using just your fingers or the guitar's volume knob. Set at low gain, the SSO functions as a versatile boost, preamp, and tone-shaper, revealing the true character of your guitar. When pushed to higher gain levels, it emulates the punchy tone and mid-range 'honk' characteristic of a simple Class-A amp circuit driving a small speaker.

Introducing the Great Eastern FX Co. Small Speaker Overdrive pedal, a game-changer inspired by the iconic tones produced by compact amplifiers like the Fender Champ. This pedal promises an authentic, amp-like breakup, exceptional volume knob clean-up, and a distinct sonic signature to ensure your guitar stands out in any mix.
Crafted by the skilled hands of Great Eastern FX Co., the Small Speaker Overdrive boasts an original discrete transistor circuit designed to capture the magic of Fender's student-model valve combos. Specifically engineered to replicate the enchanting sound produced when placing a microphone in front of an eight-inch speaker, this pedal delivers sweet, dynamic drive even at lower volumes.
Enhanced by a microphone and mixing desk, small amps produce a surprisingly robust sound, naturally rolling off low end and emphasising upper-mids. This technique, employed by legendary guitarists such as Duane Allman, Eric Clapton, Joe Walsh, Billy Gibbons, and Mike Campbell, ensures your guitar sits perfectly in the mix. The Small Speaker Overdrive aims to recreate the studio experience of plugging into a small, Class-A combo, offering a flattering frequency response and expressive, dynamic overdrive for any amp, big or small.
Hand-built in the UK, this pedal features standard Gain and Level knobs, along with unconventional EQ controls for High boost/cut and Low boost. Positioned at the start of the signal chain, the Small Speaker Overdrive responds to picking dynamics and volume knob adjustments reminiscent of a vintage fuzz pedal, delivering a low- to medium-gain range from a near-clean boost with added grit to the honky, saturated drive associated with an overdriven Champ. Elevate your sound with the Small Speaker Overdrive from Great Eastern FX Co.
