Warm overdrive ideally matches single-coil pickups
Warm overdrive with plenty of sustain gives guitarists a wide-ranging, expressive voice. The tone is a perfect match for guitars with single-coil pickups.

Level compensation for different pickups
An input gain section that is similar to guitar amp circuits allows level compensation for pickups of differing output as well as boost.

FAT Switch
A FAT switch that boosts the low frequencies can be used to deliver an even fatter, more powerful sound.
Wide dynamic range
Internal circuitry doubles the 9-volt supply voltage to 18 volts, achieving a wider dynamic range than conventional overdrive effects.
S.C.T Circuit

In standard "true bypass" circuits, the instrument signal passes through two switch contacts when bypassed. The ROD-1 Single Contact True Bypass configuration ensures that the signal only passes through one switch contact when bypassed, for unmatched signal quality as well as reliability.

D.C.G. Circuit
Due to the adoption of the new double-contact grounding circuit (D.C.G. Circuit), by inserting a monaural plug into the output jack, the shield (sleeve) of the plug provides two points of contact to the pedal's ground circuit. By increasing the area of the point of contact, it becomes more difficult for a loose connection to occur, and provides the additional advantage of improved sound quality.
