The BBE Blacksmith is a high-gain distortion pedal designed to push your tube amp over the edge. With a surprisingly balanced tonality, nearly zero noise at maximum gain and a broad, musical-sounding 3-band passive EQ, the Blacksmith Distortion runs through a huge range of dirt tones with ease. Scoop out your mids and dial up the gain for powerful, grinding metal tones that still have clarity, or bring it back a few notches for medium-gain sounds with tight low-end.
