The Cutback - Preamp / Overdrive / Distortion
Supercool Pedals' Cutback is a true Swiss Army knife of overdrive and distortion, delivering a vast tonal palette from a single compact enclosure. Inspired by the legendary DOD 250, this versatile preamp-style pedal blends vintage vibe with modern versatility, making it a go-to choice for guitarists and bassists seeking rich, responsive gain. At its core, the Cutback offers two selectable gain modes - a 0.01% low-gain setting for transparent boosts and dynamic, touch-sensitive overdrives, and an 8% high-gain mode for thick, saturated distortion. This dual-character design allows you to dial in everything from lightly pushed clean tones to full-throttle metal mayhem, all while maintaining exceptional clarity and musical responsiveness. Complementing the gain stages, the Cutback's active 3-band EQ provides comprehensive tone-shaping capabilities. Tweak the low, mid, and high frequencies to sculpt your sound, from tight and focused to full and expansive. Separate Drive and Level controls then let you balance the amount of gain and output volume to perfection. Dressed in a nostalgic 1980s-inspired glow-in-the-dark surf design, the Cutback's vintage aesthetic belies its modern functionality. Featuring true bypass switching and a rugged, Canadian-built construction, this pedal is built to withstand the rigors of the stage while delivering tones that will inspire your playing. Whether you're a blues purist, a metal shredder, or anything in between, the Cutback is a one-stop solution for all your gain-staging needs.
