The Midnight 30 Music Sonic Sojourn is a two-in-one overdrive pedal providing everything from a very clean overdrive to high gain overdrive. Each of its two footswitches is an independent effect, so the two drive circuits can be switched separately on a pedalboard1.
What it does
The Sonic Sojourn puts two drive circuits in one enclosure. Pedal of the Day's writeup describes it as "a two-in-one pedal providing everything from a very clean overdrive to high gain overdrive," meaning it can act as a light touch of grit on one side and a heavier drive on the other1.
A toggle switch allows you to change which pedal comes first in the signal, so the order of the two drives can be swapped without repatching cables. Both footswitches are an independent effect, so either circuit can be used alone or both together1.

Where it came from
Pedal of the Day featured the Sonic Sojourn on 10 April 2014, in a writeup submitted by Noah. The same review describes the circuit as loosely based on Emerson Custom's EM-Drive and JHS Pedals' Morning Glory1. Midnight 30 Music also makes the Overdrive No. 30, which Pedal of the Day reviewed earlier the same year1.
