Powerful and Ultra-Precise High Gain Tone
With its intuitive Output and Gain controls, this pedal makes it easy to find the perfect balance between massive distortion and clarity. Even at high gain levels, every note remains articulate and punchy, ideal for fast riffs, tight palm muting, and explosive solos.
The full three-band EQ (Bass, Mid, Treble) offers precise control over your sound:
Thick, deep bass
Crackling mids to cut through the mix
Brilliant, detailed highs
Built-in Boost function and intelligent Noise Gate
The pedal also features a switchable Boost to propel your solos to the forefront with even more gain and sustain. The 55 Hz / 80 Hz selector allows you to adjust the bass response to suit your guitar, amp, or playing style.
To maintain pristine clarity even at high gain, the built-in Noise Gate effectively eliminates unwanted noise and hiss.
