Cicada - Overdrive
Introducing the Olinthus Cicada - a true marvel of overdrive pedal engineering. Despite its minuscule size, this little wonder packs a mighty punch, delivering the iconic tones that have defined guitar music for decades. At the heart of the Cicada lies the coveted Tube Screamer circuit, meticulously recreated to provide the rich, harmonically complex overdrive that has graced the rigs of countless guitar legends. But Olinthus didn't stop there - they've managed to squeeze this legendary circuit into a package that's nearly as small as a 9-volt battery, making the Cicada an absolute must-have for guitarists short on pedalboard real estate. Don't let the Cicada's diminutive dimensions fool you, though. This pedal is no mere novelty - it's a serious tone-shaping tool that can fatten up your sound, add searing sustain, and breathe new life into your playing. Whether you're looking to push your amp into creamy saturation or craving that classic midrange growl, the Cicada has you covered. And the best part? The Cicada's ingenious design allows it to be placed virtually anywhere, from the tightest spaces on your pedalboard to the most unconventional nooks and crannies of your rig. Guitarists like John Mayer have been spotted using the Cicada to add that extra bit of oomph to their tone, proving that good things really do come in small packages.
