StewMac International House of Overdrive (IHOO) Pedal Kit
Build your own classic overdrive with modern versatility
Step into the world of classic overdrive tones with the International House of Overdrive (IHOO) pedal kit. Inspired by the iconic Hot Cake pedal from 1976, the IHOO delivers everything you love about the original—warm midrange, smooth overdrive, and timeless character—while adding modern versatility to suit today's players.
This isn't just another clone, though. We’ve modernized the circuit and included a second IC (Integrated Circuit), allowing you to push the tonal boundaries and explore new sounds. Whether you want creamy rhythm tones or aggressive lead saturation, the IHOO is your key to unlocking vintage tone with modern flexibility.
