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.
