At the heart of Jackson Audio's The Optimist Effect Pedal are two overdrive channels with distinktem voicing that can be used individually or together. The "OD 1" channel is oriented with germanium diodes, a lively dynamic and striking emphasis on the middle clearly on mythical sound characters and is ideal for warm solo sounds with long sustain. On the other hand, a sound-neutral Full Range Drive is available in the "OD 2" channel. To adjust the sound, each channel of the Jackson Audio Optimist is equipped with its own controls for gain, tone and volume. 3-band equalizer. In addition, Jackson Audio equips the The Optimist Corey Wong Signature Overdrive with an active 3-band equalizer, which is activated by simultaneously pressing both foot switches and can be used independently of both drive channels for forming the sound. Arranged at the end of the internal signal chain of the optimist, the sound control, which works according to the Baxandall principle and perfectly matched to the frequency range of the electric guitar, promises a natural and harmonious sound even in extreme settings.
