The Post-Drive EQ switch and ADJ knob voices the pedal to match your amp, along with a P/AMP setting when using a power amp, recording interface, DI or mixer.

The More/Pres control affects negative feedback in the output stage and can modify the breakup characteristics or respond similarly to a Presence knob.

THE BOTTOM LINE

The Origin Effects RD Compact Hot Rod is an unparalleled hot-rodded overdrive stompbox with nuanced complexity and response for dialing in superdetailed tube-like amp tones that are downright mesmeric.
