"Hamilton runs all of his pedals in front of the amp and controls the rig with a Custom Audio Electronics RS-5 MIDI Foot Controller designed by Bob Bradshaw.

We’ve crammed a metric ton of gain into this box… but Page’s workload demands his gear be flexible. So we aimed at covering a wide spectrum of rock to modern metal tones. In order to deliver that flexibility we knew it had to clean up well. Bottom line- the Page Hamilton Signature Distortion is no 1 trick pony. Sweeping through the gain control you’ll come across all shades of vintage and modern distortions, some thick ballsy blues crunch and some good ole fashioned rock and roll overdrive. In addition to the hyper flexible amp-like 3 band EQ the Page Hamilton Distortion features a High Cut toggle switch which gives you the option to select a more modern tone that cuts through the mix or 2 thicker low-end heavy vintage tones.

Gain, Treble, Mids, Bass, and Volume controls High Cut 3 way toggle switch to further customize your tone Operates on a standard 9-18 volt negative tip BOSS style adapter Power draw: 25mA True Hardwire Bypass for noise free operation Stomp switch built to withstand years of hard stomping shows Durable 3.7?x4.7? aluminum housing Proudly built by hand in the USA
