【Voltage Compatibility】
When using electrical appliances, please note that they are designed for Japanese voltage specifications (90-110V), so if you use them with a different voltage, it may cause a malfunction.
【Plug Type】
Our products use Japanese plug types (A or B type).
Please use a conversion adapter if necessary.
【Important Note on Transformers and Adapters】
A transformer adjusts voltage to match your device’s requirements.
A conversion adapter only changes the plug shape and does not adjust voltage.
Using only a conversion adapter without a transformer may result in damage to the product.
【Liability】
We are not responsible for malfunctions or damages caused by improper use, such as operating the product without a transformer.

The sound of envy played by marigolds
Various styles of effectors are now easily available, including overdrives and boosters, which are known as many masterpieces, and even overdrives that can produce sounds similar to real amplifiers.
The sound that guitarists seek from an overdrive is simple: a sound that highlights the tone of the guitar, brings it forward, feels good when playing, and has a exquisite edge. It is the same tone that has become common to many legendary sounds, and is the tone that guitarists have sought since the beginning of rock music.
MARIGOLD ORANGE OVERDRIVE is an overdrive designed to explore its characteristics and create the sound most needed by today's guitarists.
The sound of a guitar changes greatly depending on the characteristics of the amp you connect it to. Vacuum tube amps, high-quality amps that can produce the same sound, and even high-quality digital modeling amps do not significantly change the input signal to the amp, and at the same time, they create beautiful edges and a tone that slightly lifts the midrange to bring the guitar to the forefront, highlighting the tones of the guitar and amp.
On the other hand, traditional transistor amps and classic amp modeling require a traditional overdrive that brings the guitar's important frequencies to the forefront and produces firm distortion.
MARIGOLD ORANGE OVERDRIVE is an overdrive pedal that combines these features. Depending on the characteristics of the connected amp, you can select between FLAT mode, which brings out the amp's tone, and MID mode, which creates a more overdrive-like sound, by simply switching the slide switch under the output terminal.
With this switch, when you select MID mode, you can raise the frequency around 800Hz by about +6dB. In FLAT mode, it also has a peak around 800Hz, but further expands the low and high frequencies, allowing the guitar signal to be transmitted to the amplifier without leaving anything behind.
Classic overdrives are too focused on the midrange, and can end up cutting off too much from the low-mid range. On the other hand, overdrives that don't add flavor to the guitar tone and output it as is, tend to focus on a flat response, which can result in overtones becoming thinner.
MARIGOLD ORANGE OVERDRIVE has a solid core in the low mids, while at the same time allowing you to freely control overtone components. The TONE control is set one octave higher than a typical overdrive, creating a gorgeous overdrive sound with a flat response without losing overtones.
Depending on the live stage, studio, band, etc., you can easily choose between enhancing the tone of a tube amp or ``countermeasure'' for a transistor amp by simply flipping a switch, or you can use digital amp modeling to get that ``a little bit more'' that you're missing, making this an overdrive pedal that is exactly what guitarists are looking for today.
