The Lovepedal Burst Eternity is an overdrive pedal, and Lovepedal describes it as one of the most sought after overdrives in the world. It is built to order in the USA, hand wired, and uses N.O.S. (new old stock) components. The maker is explicit that this is not a reissue: "This is NOT a reissue. It is the real deal.."1
Lovepedal describes the sound as classic and touch sensitive, with soaring thick leads and clear, present rhythm tones. It sits in the overdrive family alongside other Lovepedal designs such as the Eternity, the Amp Eleven and the COT 501.
Controls
The Burst Eternity has three knobs1:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| LEVEL | Controls the overall output of the effect. Lovepedal notes there is a lot of volume on tap, with unity gain between the effected and bypassed signal around 8:00 to 9:00. |
| DRIVE | Controls the distortion amount. Around 9:00 is described as good for a bluesy rhythm; from 1:00 and up it adds sustain for leads while staying smooth and dynamic. |
| GLASS | A single band EQ that adds or subtracts presence. Around 10:00 gives a darker, rounder sound; around 2:00 adds clarity and presence. |
Build, price and wait time
Because the pedal is built to order, Lovepedal lists a 6-week estimate for delivery1. The list price is $349.95 as shown on the maker's product page on 2026-10-251. The circuit is hand wired and uses N.O.S. components, which the maker highlights as a feature of the build1.
The Burst Eternity is built to order with a posted 6-week estimate, so it is not an off-the-shelf purchase. It runs on a 9VDC center negative adapter or a 9V battery and draws 10mA1.

Questions
Is the Lovepedal Burst Eternity true bypass?
Yes. Lovepedal states the Burst Eternity uses true bypass switching, which the maker describes as making sure your signal is preserved when the effect is off. With the pedal switched out, your guitar's signal passes through untouched, so it will not color your clean tone when the overdrive is not engaged.
How long does it take to get a Burst Eternity?
Lovepedal lists a 6-week estimate on its product page. The Burst Eternity is built to order rather than stocked, so the pedal is assembled after you place your order, and the maker's posted wait time is around six weeks from that point.
Where is the Lovepedal Burst Eternity made?
Lovepedal states the Burst Eternity is made in the USA, and the product page describes the circuit as hand wired. The pedal is built to order, and the maker says it is not a reissue but is built from original parts.
What does the Glass knob do on the Burst Eternity?
Glass is a single band EQ that adds or subtracts presence to the effected signal. Rolling it back to around 10:00 gives a darker, rounder sound, while moving it to around 2:00 adds clarity and presence, according to Lovepedal's control descriptions.
