Missing Link Audio Peacock Overdrive Handwired Point to Point

The Missing Link Audio Peacock Overdrive Handwired Point to Point is a limited edition analog overdrive pedal aimed at classic Allman Brothers-style rock tones. RockBoard's PedalPedia describes it as having a dynamic, touch-sensitive response that reacts to guitar volume and pick attack, delivering an amp-like feel and richness¹. It is a variant of the Peacock Overdrive Fillmore Edition, set apart by its handwired, point-to-point construction on vero board, which RockBoard's PedalPedia says gives enhanced tone and responsiveness¹.

What it does to your sound

Missing Link Audio positions the Peacock as a pedal for southern-rock style playing: it aims to capture classic Allman Brothers-style rock tones, and the touch-sensitive response means the pedal cleans up or opens up as you roll the guitar's volume knob or change pick attack¹. For a player, that puts it among overdrives designed to respond like a pushed amp rather than a fixed layer of grit. If you are weighing it against other drives, the site's Overdrive Pedals page and the Boss SD-1 vs Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer comparison cover the wider field.

Controls

The Voice control is the pedal's tone-shaping feature: rather than a conventional tone knob description, Missing Link Audio frames it as a way to bring in the coloration of vintage speakers¹.

Construction and power

The Handwired Point to Point designation refers to how the circuit is built: handwired, point-to-point construction on vero board, a build style some players seek out for what RockBoard's PedalPedia describes as enhanced tone and responsiveness¹. The circuit type is analog¹.

Power is a standard 9V DC, center negative supply¹.
