The best pedal that I've ever owned.

I was looking for a pedal that could replace my TS9. This pedal is more than what I wanted, it is full of possibilities.

"Alone" and "Monuments"

This pedal was heavily used during the promotion period for the self-titled record, in Summer 2018, as well as recorded on "Alone, Leave Me" and "Monuments".

Transparent overdrive.

Not so invasive, it adds overdrive on medium-high tones without many changes to the original sound of the amp.

Great tone. Many options.

Thickens and makes my little Fender sound like a Marshall when I need it. Love this pedal. So many different tone options.
