Cory Wong himself says it best:

"The Optimist is the most versatile overdrive pedal I've ever used.
Designed to give me a full range of drive levels from a punchy rhythm to a soaring lead.

The Klon has been this mystical circuit for years, and for good reason, the way it pairs with flat response overdrive is incredible!

The OD1 effect has the medium hump Klon circuit we know and love.
OD2 has a flat response overdrive that has an incredible driving range.

When the two sounds are coupled, it creates an even more boosted drive that doesn't scream!

The final piece of magic is its EQ.

Brad Jackson tried to convince me of the power of an EQ pedal for a long time, and now I know why.

We've created an EQ section that focuses on the frequencies you're looking for most in single coils, and less in humbuckers.

EQ can help shape your guitars to match each other, or it can help you get the perfect clean sound. from an amp."

Like the original circuit, the OD1 channel is designed with virtually impossible-to-find germanium diodes, carefully selected to give you the best possible sound.
Channel OD2 is diametrically opposed to the midrange sound of channel OD1.
Designed to be perfectly neutral across all guitar frequencies, the OD2 is perfect for rhythm work and is also a superb harmonic enhancer for the OD1 channel when you want to boost the OD1 even more.

Based on the legendary Baxandall EQ found in countless studios, The Optimist's EQ adapts this circuit for guitarists to work on the guitarist's own frequencies to smooth them out by removing the high and low frequencies that can be ear-weary at extreme settings.

The Optimist also features MIDI control for all its functions.
Channels OD1 and OD2 as well as EQ can all be controlled via MIDI.
