Features
Volume. Designed to adjust the output volume level from the pedal to your amplifier.
Tone. Allows you to set the desired balance between high and low frequencies. Even at max position the tone is very warm and pleasing to the ear.
Juice. Compresses and boosts the sound, making it brighter, more juicy and concentrated. Also, adds a little bit of extra gain.
Drive 1. A smooth and hard overdrive. Even at low drive 1 settings the pedal gives you a thick and solid sound. This is a type of overdrive well suited for a variety of rock styles.
Drive 2. A light and bright overdrive. This is a type of overdrive well suited for light compositions in a style of country, blues, pop and more.
The Drive 1 and Drive 2 are independent of one another, each featuring a different type of an overdrive. The two drives can either be used separately or together. By combining the two drives together you can easily simulate any type of an overdrive, perfectly suitable for either rhythm or solo parts.
By setting the Drive 1 and Drive 2 simultaneously to near or max position, you will get an incredibly thick and powerful distortion. The two drive knob system together with Tone and Juice allows you to easily make the pedal sound just the way you want it to.
