Animal Factory announces the availability of Ozymandias Overdrive Pedal

Animal Factory releases Ozymandias - Dual Overdrive/Distortion Pedal

The Return of the Kings of Kings

After three long years of blood, sweat and tears, the first of our new range of pedals is ready to ship.

Its name is Ozymandias, King of Kings, and it’s unapologetically regal.

With its dual overdrive/distortion design, Ozymandias brings you an array of tonal possibilities that range from a near-clean boost with remarkable headroom to a bourbon-soaked, gritty roar, this one will make your tubes sweat. Here’s a very quick demo of what it’s capable of:

The first run ships out to our retailers worldwide today. If you prefer to order from us directly, we’re now accepting pre-orders for the next batch shipping in December. Go to the product page below for a full feature list, but here’s the royal decree:

Dual Independent Channels: Featuring two distinct circuits—CROOK for that fat, amp-like tone with a grainy texture, and FLAIL for a high-mid focused punch that cuts through any mix. Both channels come equipped with gain, tone, and volume controls to give you maximum flexibility.
Parallel/Series Switching: Route your channels to separate amps or instruments, or run them in series for a layered, complex sound. This level of control is simply unmatched in a single pedal.
Exceptional Headroom: Ozymandias runs internally at 22V, meaning it reacts beautifully to your playing dynamics, even when the gain is cranked.

Features and Controls

Ozymandias contains two independent overdrive circuits, with identical controls but marked differences in tone and voicing:

The CROOK channel (left side, blue LED) boasts a full, fat thick sound and amp-like voicing. This channel is more articulate, grainy and has a huge low end.

The FLAIL channel (right side, red LED) is voiced in the midrange, with more drive and compression. This high-mid voicing will cut through a mix on pretty much any instrument.

Both channels have GAIN, TONE and VOLUME controls. For more textural control, each channel has three-way switches for hard (GRIND) and soft (GRIT) clipping, as well range (FULL/MID).

A key feature about Ozymandias is that each channel has its own set of input and output jacks. This allows you to split the output from each channel into separate amplifiers or even process two different instruments independently.

The mysterious square in the middle switches between two modes:

Series (Light off): FLAIL channel -> CROOK channel -> Output 2
Parallel (Light on): FLAIL channel -> Output 1; CROOK channel -> Output 2

Thanks to internal 22V operation, Ozymandias offers far greater headroom than most overdrive pedals from a regular 9V pedal power supply. Even with the gain dimed, this pedal is extremely reactive to playing dynamics and pick attack.
