Supercool Pedals releases “The Cutback”

Surf’s Up! A classically inspired overdrive that rides the wave between low and high gain distortion

Peterborough, Canada – October 16^th, 2025 – Supercool Pedals has announced the eleventh pedal in their growing lineup: The Cutback – a versatile preamp-style overdrive pedal inspired by the legendary DOD 250 and the golden era of 1980s Australian surf culture.

Carefully designed to deliver a wide array of sounds from warm preamp tones, natural amp-like breakup, all the way to searing distortions, The Cutback is a perfect catch-all drive pedal for any guitarist, no matter the genre of music or style of playing. The Cutback boasts two selectable gain modes: 0.01% for dynamic boosts and responsive overdrives, and 8% for more saturation and intense distortions, as well as a carefully-tuned active 3-band EQ for subtle or dramatic tone shaping.

Developed in collaboration with Blood Brothers Brewing, The Cutback launches alongside the Cutback Aussie Style Ginger Beer — a limited-edition brew sharing the pedal’s name, design, and adventurous spirit. Together, the two celebrate the art of sound, sun, and brewing with a shared sense of surf-inspired fun.
