Crafted in the heart of Nashville, the Xact Tone Solutions Imperial Overdrive isn't just a pedal—it's a legendary studio secret. This isn't a high-gain monster, but rather a sophisticated tone enhancer, designed to breathe new life into your amplifier. It's the kind of pedal that makes a great amp sound absolutely phenomenal, adding a clear, open-voiced overdrive with a full bass response and a high-end that cuts through without a hint of harshness. Dial in a subtle touch of grit for that perfect, transparent edge, or push it for a bold, classic crunch with incredible low-mid presence. This pedal is your direct line to a truly professional sound, transforming your rig into a tone machine that's ready for any stage or studio.

The XTS Imperial Overdrive is a clear, open-voiced, wide-bandwidth overdrive that has been optimized for low gain to higher-mid gain tones. We developed the Imperial with a great deal of input from our Nashville clients. We took an overdrive sound that they loved and extended its flexibility and usefulness. The controls have been optimized to provide wide sweet spots that make this pedal easy to dial in. The Color knob lets you adjust the EQ for a big variation in response without getting overly dark or painfully bright. The taper of the Gain knob makes it easy to dial in just a touch of grit to your tone, or use it to apply crunch with a formidable low-mid presence great for classic open-back combos. Bass response is full and the high end character is clear without being harsh.

You can adjust the dynamics of you tone with the Dyn switch. The up position gives you a classic Nashville overdrive while the down position gives you a more articulate, faster voice, making the Imperial equally good at both thumping crunch sounds and clear, transparent overdriven sounds. The Imperial is a great solution for bold dirty rhythm sounds, adding the slightest amount of dirt to your clean, or sending an already crunchy amp over the edge!
