The Secret Weapon Your Signal Chain Is Missing

Learn how the Voodoo Lab Giggity delivers the tone you’ve been chasing.

In a sea of copycat overdrive pedals, the Voodoo Lab Giggity^® Analog Overdrive + Preamp stands alone. In this video, James Santiago shows you how Giggity goes beyond your average dirt pedal, delivering “analog mastering” detail and vibe to any rig.

Breaking Down the Controls

1. Loudness for Preamp Voicing

This is the input gain for Giggity’s preamp section. You can use a low setting for cleaner tones or turn it all the way up for some grit and compression making a stiff amp come alive under your fingers.

2. Surgical Tone Shaping with Body & Air

Beyond traditional bass and treble controls, use Giggity’s Body and Air to fine tune your tones. 

Body: From taming an “ice-pick” bridge pickup to clearing up a muddy humbucker or adding weight to a Strat’s rear pickup, Body boosts or cuts lower midrange/upper bass frequencies. 

Air: Add shimmer and clarity that’s impossible to get with a standard presence or treble control without introducing harshness.

3. Add Final Touch with Sun/Moon Switch

Giving you magic in four positions, Sun/Moon changes the entire gain structure of the preamp.

Sun: Bright and alive — open the curtain, move towards the sun.

Moon: Cooler and thick— add weight and depth, lean to the dark.

4. Master for Output Volume
Adjusts Giggity’s overall level to your amp. Crank to push your amp into rough n’ ready overdrive or back down to unity gain for more transparency.

Giggity^® Analog Overdrive + Preamp FAQ

Where should I put the Giggity in my signal chain?

You can use Giggity two ways:

Up Front: Place it first to “pre-master” your guitar’s pickups, shaping how your overdrives and everything downstream react to your playing.

At the End: Place it last to shape your overall tone before hitting your amp. This is also the best way to dial in an unfamiliar backline amp. 

Does Giggity replace my Overdrive?

Not necessarily. While the Loudness knob will add some grit, Giggity is designed to make your existing overdrives — and everything else — sound better. 

Is Giggity true bypass?

Yes. Like all Voodoo Lab pedals, Giggity features true-bypass switching via high-reliability gold-contact relays.
