Description
The TacoBolt is a recreation of a broken SuperBolt, an amp-in-a-box pedal meant to give you the sounds of an old Supro amp.
Described as “somewhere between a fuzz and a blown-out Tweed amp” – the result of internal bias trim pots that had never been properly adjusted – the TacoBolt is limited to just 500 units and is now completely sold out.
