Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Strategy V2 is a two-channel analog preamp and overdrive pedal built around a Burr Brown op amp. In Preamp Mode, its volume control spans unity output through 30dB of boost; at higher settings, the circuit begins to distort naturally. Switching to Overdrive Mode turns that control into gain, with an internal trim pot setting overall saturation. A shared tone network shapes the balance of lows and highs, and Smart Bypass offers standard or momentary footswitch operation.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Using one pedal as an always-on preamp with a shared tone-shaping control.
- Moving between up to 30dB of preamp boost and adjustable overdrive saturation.
- Momentary footswitch use when the Momentary DIP switch remains enabled.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need separate tone stacks for the pedal’s two channels.
