Description

Edit description

The Bombastortion (Jeff Kollman signature overdrive pedal) designed by Tim Jauernig.

"This overdrive pedal is based on my guitar tone with the Bombastic Meatbats. We’ve been tweaking this baby for months and have the tone of the gods in one single channel, true bypass pedal.

If you love the big fat lead tones of say Gary Moore, you will need to look no further."
