01EHX Operation Overlord
Set input toggle to GUITAR/INST; BOOST switch ON for full black metal grind
The EHX Operation Overlord serves as the primary distortion source into the clean Acoustic B100c platform. The Acoustic B100c has a relatively neutral solid-state response, so pushing the mid and treble bands while keeping the Overlord's dry blend around 4 retains low-end punch alongside the characteristic black metal clank. The B100c has no presence control, so top-end edge is dialed directly via the treble knob and bridge-pickup attack. Modulation pedals (Boss CEB-3 and Bass Clone) are left bypassed to preserve raw distortion articulation.
