Description

The Stumpbox Pedals Eat Dirt combines a natural, harmonic rich overdrive with a standalone MOSFET clean boost, designed to slot effortlessly into guitarist rigs. Ideal for light to mid gain tones, the overdrive veers organic rather than processed, while the clean boost can be used on its own or stacked before or after the drive to push amps harder or lift solos.

Its sound is warm and dynamic: at lower drive settings it stays clear and expressive, letting single coil brightness shine; as gain increases it fattens up with rich mids and clarity, yet never saturates into mud. The harmonic content stays musical and lively, responding well to picking dynamics and volume adjustments on the guitar.

Playing the Stumpbox Pedals Eat Dirt feels intuitive and tactile. The pedal reacts naturally to your attack, playing softer cleans up the tone, while digging in yields a satisfying grit. Switching between three distinct voice settings via the toggle switch tailors the character: the first (left) is smooth and dynamic, the second (middle) adds a touch more crunch and compression, and the third (right) opens up the tone with a warmer feel. The clean boost section adds transparency and punch, ideal for leads or amp pushing without clouding your tone.

Controls are highly responsive and versatile: drive and level knobs for gain and output; three band active EQ with Lo (around 80–100 Hz ±9 dB), Mid (640–800 Hz ±8 dB) and Hi (2.5–3 kHz ±7.5 dB); a voice switch toggles between the three overdrive textures. The boost side offers gain and a hi cut control to tame brightness, plus a switch to choose whether the boost sits before or after the drive for tone stacking flexibility.

Under the bonnet, Eat Dirt blends a MOSFET style clean boost stage with an audiophile grade op amp, and features careful low noise design. The circuit achieves a near organic overdrive that’s rich in harmonics and responsive to playing nuance.

The Stumpbox Pedals Eat Dirt is housed in a sturdy Hammond all metal enclosure, built to endure regular gigging or transport. Premium components, from the rugged Gorva footswitches to audiophile grade electronics, ensure excellent signal integrity and long lifespan. It’s RoHS compliant for UKCA conformity, giving peace of mind regarding safety and standards.

The graphics are visually clear and intuitive: clean labelling of controls and toggle positions lets users see settings quickly on a pedalboard, while the aesthetic fits both vintage and modern setups without overpowering.

An LED power indicator shows when the unit is active, offering reliable visual feedback onstage or in the studio.

Bypass is true and transparent, the dry signal path remains clean and unaffected when the effect isn’t engaged, preserving signal clarity and integrity throughout your rig.

Input and output jacks, plus the DC power jack (standard 2.1 mm centre negative), are placed logically to the sides, making cable routing neat and simple, especially on tight pedalboards. 

Stumpbox Pedals Eat Dirt comes with a solid warranty, reflecting Stumpbox’s confidence in its build and performance. If any issue arises, support is ready, so players can focus on tone rather than troubleshooting.

The Stumpbox Pedals Eat Dirt delivers a compelling light to medium overdrive paired with a flexible clean boost, controlled via a powerful EQ and voice toggle that adapts to many styles. It sounds musical, plays in tune with your dynamics, and integrates cleanly into a pedalboard. Built to last and honest in tone, it adds warmth, clarity and feel to any rig, without fuss or gimmick.
