The Midnight Drive is a transparent overdrive. It is not going to change your tone (unless you want to), it is just going to make it dirtier. Also, is a dual pedal for harp. It has an Overdrive and a Booster. The goal of the Midnight Drive is to give you the break-up of a small tube amp out of a clean amp, at any volume. The sound of the Midnight Drive is based on a special type of
transistors called FET. I selected those because they sound and react a lot like tubes! The pedals work on a regular 9v power supply, but internally the voltage is raised up to 18v to give you the maximum headroom and dynamic range.
FAQ:
What power supply is needed?
Any power supply designed to work at 9v with a negative center.
Are the pedals true bypass? Yes, the Harp Mojo (and all Rods pedals) are true bypass.

ABOUT ROD
I´m a harp player. I play early electric Chicago blues, so I am always looking for the sound of the classic records that we love. I have recorded a couple of albums with my band Rod and the Chucos Suaves. You can check it on Youtube, they are free!
In 2020, due to the quarantine imposed by Covid-19, there was plenty of time, so I decided to fulfill a long-cherished dream: build my own electric toys!
I researched how to build effects pedals and put together several (more than I needed, of course) and little by little I began to understand how everything worked. Building guitar effects and trying to get them to work on the harmonica was my favorite hobby that pandemic year.
The pedals that I offer here are the result of that hobby mixed with the passion about the amplified harmonica tone and my experience as a gigging musician.
Each pedal has been designed by me and tested by various harmonica players around the world. Each pedal is built by hand at home, one small component at a time, and each pedal is tested by me before shipping.
Thank you for your interest and support to Rod Harp Effects!
WARRANTY
All pedals have a full 5-year warranty.
The warranty applies to the pedal, not the original buyer, so even if you got the pedal used you can still apply to it.
The warranty covers any malfunction of the mechanical parts and the circuit. The repair is free, you only have to pay the associated shipping costs.
The full warranty is void if the pedal has been modified in any way, or if it has suffered direct damage due to user negligence (spilled beer, for example).
If the warranty is voided, we will repair the pedal, but you will have to pay the cost of the spare parts in addition to the associated shipping costs.
Customer questions with answers from Rod:Q- Does the midnight drive pedal work as an attenuator? And can it be used directly to a PA without an amp?
A- The Midnight Drive can attenuate (reduce) the signal into the next device (amplifier or pedal), working like a PAD pedal. But is not an “attenuator”. Those are meant to be connected to the output speaker jack of an amplifier. The Midnight Drive can’t be used as an amplifier power attenuator. About the PA, YES! And it works great for that .It would be wise to use a DI box between the Midnight Drive and the PA to avoid unwanted noise. Also, adding a Cab Sim pedal can add an extra degree of realism to your sound when going direct into the PA. It is not a must, bust it does sound closer to an amp sound with one.
