Description

Combining two essential effects in one, the Guyatone PS-017 Chorus & Distortion pedal is a versatile tool for any guitarist looking to expand their tonal palette. This pedal seamlessly integrates rich, sweeping choruses with gritty, dynamic distortion, offering a wide range of sonic possibilities. Whether you're aiming for shimmering cleans or heavily distorted riffs, the PS-017 ensures your sound stays clear and defined.

Designed for ease of use, the pedal features intuitive controls that allow quick adjustments on the fly.
