A headphone output on the front panel allows for monitoring and private... Less

The Germanium Drive is really a germanium pedal like none you've used before. The Chandler Limited Germanium Drive Guitar Pedal has all the tone and color you would expect from germanium, but none of the mud and none of the fat - only an intense colored germanium tone. This pedal was inspired by Chandler Limited's Germanium preamps and their work with other germanium amplifiers, but has even more to it. The five feedback selections on the Germanium Drive modify the tone, harmonic distortion and clipping of the pedal and offer a nice range of uses from tighter, lightly driven to slightly fuzzy to full on germanium hell!

The Dwarfcraft Eau Claire Thunder fuzz effect pedal rectifies a few issues with other fuzz boxes, notably the need for a mid scoop. The Eau Claire Thunder fuzz is a classically styled distortion and sustain pedal, with a few Dwarfcraft twists. It scoops the mids for some cool metal tones.Stomping on the Eau Claire Thunder's bypass switch puts you in familiar fuzzbox territory. Volume, Tone, and Distortion controls are all active, as well as the Timewarp toggle, which flips between the traditional hi-fi sound and a more blunted stoner-rock-type sound. (Note: if your amp has a lot of treble rolled off, you may not hear much difference between the Timewarp positions.) Toneblast bypasses the tone control, giving you more mids, and a bunch more volume. You can tap the Feedback stomper at any... Less

TC Electronic NDR-1 Nova Drive Overdrive and Distortion Guitar Effects Pedal

The RTD800 features independent Overdrive and Distortion circuits combined with a dual triode tube to offer a massive array of saturated tones, from traditional tube overdrive through full-on gated metal distortion. No other tube overdrive pedal offers this degree of versatility in a single package. The selectable Overdrive and Distortion modes are configured as follows: The Overdrive circuit features two stages of clipping - a bi-directional clipping diode in the feedback loop of the op-amp and then a single-diode in the second stage for asymmetrical clipping. The Distortion circuit also features two clipping stages, but configured differently - a bi-directional clipping diode in feedback of op-amp for stage 1, and then a 2nd stage with a passive bi-directional clipping circuit.

The return of a legend! The heaviest of the Ibanez 9 series, the SD9 (the SD stands for Òsonic distortionÓ) has risen from the ashes, newly modified to cast that metal-head of yours even deeper into the overdrive netherworld. Hit ÒMid Boost,Ó hit ÒGain Bo

The Double Hotcake has two Hotcakes 'A' and 'B' in one box. The A is a Bluesberry version, and the B a normal version (the "Bluesberry" voicing of the Hotcake has a slightly less buzzy edge at the onset of distortion, and often works well when guitarists have amplifiers with extra extreme treble boost, like some Marshalls for instance). Both have three knobs and a footswitch as with regular Hotcakes. If both Hotcakes are switched on together, the A Hotcake drives the B, and its controls are bypassed, but an extra Drive control is switched in to adjust the its gain. There is also an extra clipping stage and a reduction in low frequencies to make for a better lead sound in the high gain situation. The A Hotcake has the usual buffered bypass (the circuit becomes a buffer in bypass mode),... Less
