Here: • A Klon With A Full Baxandall EQ | Jackson ...
Today on the Klone Kalamity we have the Jackson Audio Optimist Dual Overdrive with Baxandall EQ. It is an overdrive that has both a klon and a very clean overdrive within it, some would say the 2nd overdrive is akin to a Timmy circuit. Like and subscribe for more Baxandall.

From Jackson Audio themselves
"The Optimist is the most versatile overdrive pedal I’ve ever used. Designed to give me a full range of drive levels for punchy rhythm to soaring lead. The Klon has been this mystical and hyped-up circuit for years, and for good reason! It’s an incredible circuit, and the way it pairs with the flat response overdrive is incredible. OD1 has the mid bump Klon circuit that we know and love. OD2 has a flat response overdrive that has an incredible range of drive. When the two of them pair together it creates an even more boosted drive that doesn’t squeal! The final piece of magic is the EQ. Brad Jackson has been trying to convince me about the power of an EQ pedal for a long time, and now I know why. We created an EQ section that focuses on the frequencies that you want more of in single coils, and less of in humbuckers." - Cory Wong
OD 1
OD1 of the OPTIMIST is based on the most expensive, hard-to-find, mythical overdrive ever created! For all of its hype, this magical pedal is still one of the most natural-sounding overdrives ever created and has cemented its reputation in the history of guitardom.
We reproduced this circuit in perfect detail to provide the stock tone that people are looking for from this legendary pedal. We updated it with an active EQ (bypass-able) to take this classic circuit into uncharted territory!
Just like the original circuit, OD1 features impossible to find (unless you know how to use eBay) germanium diodes that have been carefully washed in unicorn tears to deliver the best tone possible! Why? Because you deserve the best. You deserve diodes that have been washed in unicorn tears.
OD 2
OD2 of the OPTIMIST stands in stark contrast to the mid-focused tone of OD1. Designed to be perfectly flat across the full range of the guitar, OD2 is perfect for rhythm work and is a perfect harmonic enhancer for OD1 when you want to boost OD1 even further!
3 BAND EQUALIZER OVERVIEW
The EQ circuit features a studio-grade EQ that gives tremendous tonal flexibility to The Optimist. Based on the legendary Baxandall EQ that is featured in countless studio EQ’s, The Optimist EQ takes this circuit and tailors it for guitarists! We spent tons of time on this EQ dialing it in so it would hit all the frequencies that guitarists need to adjust and then sweetened it by removing the ear fatiguing highs and lows that can appear at extreme settings.
To activate the EQ, press and release both the OD1 and OD2 footswitches.
The EQ is post OD's and can also be used as a standalone feature. The controls for the EQ light up to show that the EQ is activated."

~🃏~Some extra words~🎛️~
Thanks to everyone watching my videos. Every view, comment, or like is appreciated as I try to engage to share my knowledge and love (hyper distain due to late stage GAS) of synths and synth gear. I'm Vik and have been at this music mess for years now, and I am also the artist known as Viktims of Violence. With my completely scattered and broken brain something has to be in there that would do some sort of music, watch along to see how I may figure something out eventually. Or leave any comments on any gear combos that you would like to see tested as due to my GAS affliction I have quite a lot of creatures in the studio. Watch along and you will find me posting more about synth, pedal, and other reviews of all the fun electronic music (mostly industrial based) gear. Enjoy also how clearly I don't even know what I'm talking about so every video is a surprise even to me given the mess that is what's left of my brain. Thanks for watching.
With as much respect as it's due,
-Vik🃏🎛️
