Full Description

Shape your sound with three distortion modes

The pedal includes Classic, Modern, and Scooped distortion modes. Each one offers a different tonal profile, from warm British crunch to aggressive American gain and deep, scooped mids for heavier styles. You can quickly switch between these settings to match different playing needs or setlists, all from one compact unit.

Keep your tone clean with a built-in noise gate

A built-in noise gate removes unwanted hum and feedback, particularly useful when working with high-gain tones. This feature helps maintain tight stops and clear transitions, making your playing sound more defined in both live and studio situations.

Stereo output and cab sim for flexible setups

The stereo outputs allow for wider signal chains or dual-amp setups, adding space and depth to your sound. The cab sim output is ideal for direct recording or connecting straight to a PA, giving you the feel of a mic’d amp without needing extra gear. It also supports silent practice setups at home.

Boost switch for extra impact

When you need to stand out in a mix, the dedicated boost switch adds extra volume and presence. It works independently from the main footswitch, so you can engage it only when needed. This is useful for solos or heavier sections that require more definition.
