NOTE: An earlier version of this write-up assumed that the Hoodoo Drive was based on the Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive. This was wrong. The write-up has been edited.
Hoodoo Drive (based on: Voodoo Lab Overdrive)
Voodoo Lab has been around since the 80s, designing and manufacturing a number of classic effects and audio tools. These days the company maybe is best known for their power supplies, powering many pedalboards around the world.
Their quite rare Overdrive pedal, not be confused with their Sparkle Drive, was released in the ‘90s. It has been discontinued for a long time now. The Overdrive was based on the DOD OD Preamp 250 (also modeled by Fractal Audio), with the addition of a gain stage. The Overdrive in turn inspired Fulltone to design the OCD (also modeled).
Like the OD 250, the Overdrive sounds best when run into an overdriven amp.
The original pedal has 2 knobs:
