(overdrive + dry blend mix)
Empty Tomb
The Origin Story:
For too long, the classic green overdrive boxes of the past held guitarists hostage in a sonic prison. Sure, they cut through the mix, but they also choked your bass and made your tone feel congested, compressed, and suffocated. We built Empty Tomb because your tone deserves a resurrection. We wanted to design the ultimate second gain stage—one that doesn't bury your original sound under muddy distortion, but instead breathes new life, warmth, and massive headroom into your signal.

The Bloodline:
Empty Tomb shares its DNA with the legendary 808-style overdrive, but we stripped away the old limitations. We took that iconic, carefully tuned midrange sweet spot—the one that slices through any mix with absolute authority—and married it with a modern clean blend mix. This allows you to roll your pure, unaffected guitar signal right back into the drive engine. The result? A warm, rich, and articulate overdrive where your raw dynamics stay perfectly intact, never sounding harsh or choked. The old tone is dead and gone; Empty Tomb is where the new fire begins.
The Art & Soul:
The enclosure of Empty Tomb is completely hand-painted, telling the story of breaking free. It features a cracked, empty eggshell and feathers around, giving way to a powerful eagle soaring high above the mountains.Just like the empty tomb, the broken eggshell represents a breakthrough into new life. It symbolizes the moment your guitar tone shatters its old, congested limitations and takes flight. When you step on this pedal, you aren't just turning on an overdrive—you are unleashing a wild, soaring sound that rises far above the noise.
