The Gritador is our version of the classic, the version that our resident genius in chief has tweaked to perfection. He dialed in the midrange to be more nuanced. You still get that classic midrange bump but without some of the inherent nasaliness that can sometimes plague this circuit. He altered the clipping to be slightly less symmetrical. He also tweaked the low end to give it more fullness while still maintaining a tight and punchy low end.

Why Gritador? Because it means “screamer” in Portuguese.

This is Dave's favorite version of his favorite overdrive.
