The Tech 21 Tri-OD Overdrive is a powerful, all-analog three-channel overdrive pedal designed as a flexible tone-shaping solution for stage, studio, and home setups. Inspired by Tech 21’s legendary SansAmp technology, the Tri-OD goes beyond a standard overdrive by offering three distinct amp-style voices—Tweed, Calif, and British—each modeled after classic tube amp sounds.
The Tweed channel delivers the smooth breakup and midrange warmth of vintage American combos, perfect for roots rock, blues, and clean boost applications. The Calif channel brings saturated, high-gain tones inspired by West Coast-style amps, ideal for modern rock and lead tones. The British channel captures the bark, chime, and focused punch of classic UK amplifiers, making it perfect for crunchy rhythm tones and expressive solos.
Each channel includes its own dedicated Drive, Tone, and Level controls, allowing for precise tone crafting and gain-staging across the three voices. This layout gives players the power of a three-pedal stack in one compact unit, without compromising signal integrity or requiring extra board space.
Thanks to its analog circuitry, the Tri-OD responds dynamically to your playing, cleaning up beautifully with your guitar’s volume knob and reacting naturally to picking dynamics. Whether you're using it as a standalone overdrive, a preamp into a power amp, or as a tone-shaping front-end into a clean amp or recording interface, the Tri-OD adapts to your rig with studio-grade clarity and warmth.
Fully tested and in excellent working condition, this unit is ideal for players seeking classic tube-like tone and flexibility without the bulk or complexity of multi-pedal setups.
