Dual channel distortion pedal. The pds 1550 includes two different drive circuits which you can switch between with one of the two foot switches. One is a Tubescreamer-style overdrive circuit, and the other is a high gain metal distortion. Both of these drive circuits go to the output vía a parametric EQ stage. The metal Distortion channel of this pedal is pretty much identical to the Boss HM-2 pedal, affectionally known by fans as the “Swedish Chainsaw”. The PDS-1550’s Channel A has the same distortion stage, followed by the same gyrator-based tone shaping. It adds a few things, but all the bits of the HM-2’s distinctive sound are there. So if you want a chainsaw metal AND a screameresque overdrive, this IS your pedal.
