Description

This is a 4 mode distortion pedal. 1. Preamp 2. Blues 3. Rock 4. Metal. Preamp works as a transparent clean boost although you can cut/boost the bass. 2. Works as like a low gain Overdrive, much like a Blues Driver. 3. This to me sounds like a cross between a Rat and DS-1. 4. Kinda fizzy like some fuzz in introduced, pretty high gain, but NOT as high gain as like a Metal Zone.

I've used this pedal for over 25 years, it's stlll chugging along nicely.

I've got 4 of these things, someday they'll all die but so far they're still going fine. They can be used for a clean boost, light overdrive, metal type (almost Big Muffish) distortion. Back in the early 90s they didn't really have anything like this. Not from one pedal unless you got one of the cheesy multieffects available at the time. They're made from a fairly light sheetmetal case and not exactly on the small side but they function fine. 2 of mine used to do battle in various metal bands and they're still alive. They've been walked on a bunch, tripped over, had the jacks ripped out, a little solder and good as gold.
