Black Clouds is our vision of what a Lead tone machine should be. Aggresive, articulated yet quiet (with its X-Gate feature) with an amp feel, the Black Clouds is capable of producing the most amazing chugs. It includes a noise gate for chopping breakdowns, a powerful 3- band EQ, tons of gain on tap, plus a dual boost function for even more gain AND volume, and 3 modes of operation to adapt to your setup.
