For sale: TWA (Totally Wycked Audio) HS-02 Hot Saké Overdrive/Distortion pedal in excellent condition. Hand-assembled in the USA.

This versatile boutique drive sits right on the line between overdrive and distortion. It delivers everything from smooth, dynamic, amp-like breakup and transparent boost tones to thick, saturated grit and Muff-style fuzz with excellent clarity and note definition. It cleans up beautifully with your guitar’s volume knob and has massive output (up to 36 dB of boost) for cutting through a mix or pushing an already dirty amp into meltdown.

Key features:

Drive control – slight tube-like breakup to heavy saturation

Level control – high-headroom output for solos and stacking

Tone control – classic low-boost / high-boost EQ

Dedicated Mids control for precise midrange sculpting

Low Boost (LB) switch with selectable 60 Hz or 100 Hz center (internal slider)

Audiophile-grade TL072 op-amp for low noise and clarity

S3 “Shortest Send” relay-based true bypass

Compact footprint, side-mounted jacks

9V battery or external 9VDC power

Made in USA

The pedal is in excellent working and cosmetic condition with only light signs of careful use (no major scratches, dings, or issues). All controls, switches, and the footswitch work perfectly.

Comes in the original box, with its velvet bag, manual, etc.

This is a discontinued model that blends the character of classic Japanese drive circuits with modern flexibility and dynamics. Great as a standalone dirt channel or stacked with other pedals.
