The Collateral FX Continuum OD is an analog overdrive pedal from Collateral FX. RockBoard's PedalPedia describes it as a unique overdrive pedal that combines the overdrive circuits of the Klon Centaur and the Tube Screamer TS-10, two of the most referenced designs in the overdrive pedal world1.
What it does
Collateral FX positions the Continuum OD as covering booster, overdrive and distortion territory in one box1. The pedal is designed to provide a wide range of tonal possibilities, from subtle, natural overdrive to more aggressive, distorted sounds1.
The circuit is where the pedal's identity comes from. according to RockBoard's PedalPedia, the pedal's circuitry is a fusion of the Klon Centaur's high-gain, low-noise design and the Tube Screamer's warm, dynamic overdrive1. For a player, that puts the Continuum OD in the company of the two circuits most often borrowed by overdrive builders, and it sits alongside the same maker's Collateral FX Foo Driver in the lineup. Players weighing it against other gain stages may also want to compare it with dedicated boost pedals or distortion pedals, since the Continuum OD claims ground in all three areas1.
Power
The Continuum OD runs on a 9V DC, center negative supply, the standard arrangement for most pedalboard power supplies1.
