The Lovepedal Overdrive 11 is a tube-powered overdrive pedal from the boutique pedal company Lovepedal, announced in October 2026. Instead of relying only on transistors or op-amps, the circuit uses a 12AX7 tube to do the work, and Lovepedal describes the result as touch-sensitive drive tones that respond to how hard you dig in1. It sits alongside the maker's other dirt pedals, such as the Lovepedal Purple Plexi and the Lovepedal Amp Eleven, in the wider family of overdrive pedals.
Controls and power
The tube-driven circuit keeps things simple. There are four knobs on the top panel1:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Drive | Sets the amount of overdrive |
| Bass | Low EQ |
| Treble | High EQ |
| Level | Output volume |
The circuit runs on 9 to 18V, so it can be powered anywhere in that range depending on what your supply offers1.
Price and availability
As of its October 2026 announcement, the Overdrive 11 was available for pre-order with introductory pricing at launch. The pre-order price was $248.49, and the pedal was set to be $350 as standard1.
