The Mythos Pedals Mjolnir Overdrive is a refined take on the iconic "Horsey-Man" pedal, offering a versatile overdrive with less gain and mid-honk, but more low-end push compared to other Klon Centaur clones. It features a smoother sound due to the removal of the charge pump, high-quality jacks, and a buffered bypass. The dual-ganged gain control allows for clean boost to full overdrive sounds.
The Mjolnir Overdrive
The Mjolnir is our take on the iconic "Horsey-Man" pedal. Since 2010 we've been perfecting this circuit to work for everyone regardless of taste or preference.
The Mjolnir has a bit less gain, less mid honk, and more low end push compared to other "klones". The iconic parts of the circuit remain to make it truly standout in the wide world of pedals.
The Mjolnir has some features that make it a bit more pedalboard friendly. We removed the charge pump from this circuit so there is less risk of frying the pedal with incorrect power. This gives the drive a slightly smoother sound as the op-amps clip and help push the hard clipped diodes.
We use high quality panel mount In, Out and DC jacks so pedal will be reliable on the road for years to come.
The now iconic buffered bypass of this circuit remains so it vastly improves the signal quality of long cable runs or big pedalboards. Just like its inspiration the Mjolnir's Gain control is a dual ganged pot that controls both the clean mix and the gain. At minimum it is pure clean tone, at maximum it's all gain. The gain control is tuned to strike a perfect balance of clean push and gain.
