    The Ages Overdrive is a massively versatile overdrive machine standing at the ready for any amp and pickup combination that is thrown at it. This is an overdrive with innovative features that can stand on its own and stack well with other drives. The Ages offers five gain states.
    The five-position rotary knob offers the following gain states:
    I. Low-gain mode with symmetric silicon soft clipping. Compressed and smooth.
    II. Low-gain mode with symmetric LED soft clipping. Pushed, open, and sparkly.
    III. High-gain mode with symmetric silicon soft clipping. Increased saturation and tight.
    IV. High-gain mode with symmetric LED soft clipping. Saturated, punchy and big.
    V. High-gain mode with symmetric silicon hard clipping. Heavy compression, thick and chewy.
    Think of each position as a different “flavor” of the pedal. Fine-tune each of these gain states with the dry knob for a near infinite supply of gain options.

    I never considered Walrus Audio during my OD search but I randomly purchased the Plumes and Westwood and they are both killer. I might have to get this one as well!

    Im a bit late here but .. I just got this pedal recently, love it a lot but ... i play into a medium gained amp, and push it with the ages, it's brilliant in every mode, but the dry mix is barely if at all noticeable ?? is it that subtle ?? nice playing btw 👍

      I don't think there's double the price worth of variation in it from the plumes to invest the extra money. (I own the plumes too).

      Just saw this. I had the MG. I love jhs but didn’t like the MG. This is totally different. Has 5 stages of gain from low to high. MG barely had any gain it was more of a klon clone. Different beasts. This I like and kept.

      @@jklmopqtstuvwxyz5349 I actually changed my Utube name and have the morning glory v4 but with the moonshine. The combo pedal and to me it sounds better for some reason. I like it a lot so disregard my other post. I may have had one of the first versions of the MG and I just didn’t think it had any gain. V4 does imo.
