Supercool Pedals releases “The Cutback”

Supercool Pedals releases “The Cutback”

Supercool Pedals has announced the eleventh pedal in their growing lineup: The Cutback – a versatile preamp-style overdrive pedal inspired by the legendary DOD 250 and the golden era of 1980s Australian surf culture.


Carefully designed to deliver a wide array of sounds from warm preamp tones, natural amp-like breakup, all the way to searing distortions, The Cutback is a perfect catch-all drive pedal for any guitarist, no matter the genre of music or style of playing. The Cutback boasts two selectable gain modes: 0.01% for dynamic boosts and responsive overdrives, and 8% for more saturation and intense distortions, as well as a carefully-tuned active 3-band EQ for subtle or dramatic tone shaping.

Developed in collaboration with Blood Brothers Brewing, The Cutback launches alongside the Cutback Aussie Style Ginger Beer — a limited-edition brew sharing the pedal’s name, design, and adventurous spirit. Together, the two celebrate the art of sound, sun, and brewing with a shared sense of surf-inspired fun.

The Cutback highlights include:

  • Based on the iconic DOD 250 overdrive/preamp circuit
  • Dual GAIN modes (0.01% and 8%) for low or high distortion modes
  • Active 3-band EQ (LOW, MID, HIGH) for comprehensive tone shaping
  • Wide array of gain uses, from preamp, boost, overdrive, and distortion
  • Captivating and nostalgic 1980’s Surf Design
  • Glows in the dark for maximum radness!
  • True Bypass switching with standard 9v center negative power supply
  • Designed and assembled in Canada

The Cutback is the 11th installment in the Supercool pedals lineup with a street price of $199 USD, and is available for purchase with worldwide shipping through www.SupercoolPedals.com as well as in select independent retailers.
