This low to medium gain drive sounds and responds like a small tweed amp pushed to its edge. Extremely touch sensitive, with a decent range of control over the tonal character. Stacks very well with other distortions, and can give a loose and unruly fuzz more focus and “tooth.” Also does a nice job of sweetening up a clean tone with its tweedish bloom that is highly responsive to pick attack. The pedal is true bypass and runs on the standard 9V DC center negative power supply.
