Japanese effect pedal maker Animals Pedal has unveiled new drive and boost pedal designs, the Diamond Peak Hybrid Overdrive and Dawn Ocean Meditation Booster.

The Diamond Peak Hybrid Overdrive is the latest collaboration between Animals and Nevada-based Skreddy Pedals. The pedal is based on Skreddy’s Major Overdrive circuit, but with less gain and added headroom. The result is a versatile drive with a “mild, cranked-amp voice” that exudes classic British tube amp tone.
