LUKE Overdrive MK II
Two overdrive channels in one enclosure: LOW GAIN and HIGH GAIN, based on the legendary SL-OD Deluxe sound.
Uncompromising audio quality, designed for the stage and finest signature tones.Developed in close collaboration with Steve Lukather, for maximum control, expression and flexibility.
FEATURES
- The LUKE Overdrive combines two overdrive sounds:
LOW GAIN overdrive and HIGH GAIN overdrive in a single pedal. - The pedal offers an independent tonal character, switchable presets, and precise control over Level, Tone, and Drive.
- The GAIN BOOST specifically increases distortion intensity and sustain without altering the fundamental character of the sound. Ideal for greater punch and additional headroom in the overdrive range.
- The FAT Boost enhances low frequencies in a controlled way, adding more foundation and punch without making the sound muddy.
- The pedal features a specially designed mechanical true bypass circuit combined with optimized noise suppression, resulting in near-silent switching, ideal for professional stage use.
- Handcrafted in Germany, the LUKE Overdrive delivers maximum dynamics, tonal accuracy, and flexibility for musicians who demand uncompromising performance.
CLEAN / DRIVE
In front of a clean amp
When you run the pedal into a clean or slightly breaking-up amp, you get an open overdrive sound that can reach into high-gain territory without drifting into extreme distortion. The tone remains clear, structured, and highly articulate, with excellent note definition and cut.
Some users claim that the pedal only works well in front of a distorted amp, but this is not a limitation of the pedal itself. It comes down to how it is used, how it is set up, and the amp configuration.
In front of a driven or distorted amp
In front of an already driven amp, the pedal reveals its second major strength, exactly the way Steve Lukather uses it. The sound becomes faster, more focused, and more lead-oriented, adding gain without drastically altering the existing amp tone. The pedal integrates organically into the already working amp, enhancing what is there rather than replacing it.
Steve Lukather:
,I hear you EVERY night, it’s my fave Overdrive / Distortion pedal! I use them (SL-OD, SL-OD Deluxe / SL-OD DLX) in various situations, in the studio, live etc.‘
Steve Lukather has been using my pedals continuously since 2017, both live and in the studio. For him, it is his main overdrive: reliable, full of character, and a permanent part of his sound.
