to be the distortion to beat all others; however |
it ended up being so much more. Through minute |
tailoring of the circuit, the WARTHOG delivers the |
biggest range of tones of any overdrive/distortion |
pedal on the market. With an ability to go from |
crystal clean boost through to distortion the |
WARTHOG has sonic characteristics that match the |
military prowess of its namesake. Its tonality is |
firmly in the American camp with sparkling cleans |
similar to the best amplifiers in that genre, With |
the calibre and gain controls cranked you get a |
crushing distortion with fuzzy overtones at the |
very extremes of travel. All settings are |
extremely addictive, with a 3 dimensional and |
complex sound that makes your playing jump from |
the fretboard. Aside from achieving fantastic |
sonic credentials the WARTHOG is built like a tank |
with physical features such as recessed knobs and |
top mounted jacks. Robust build does not have to |
come at the sacrifice of looks, the WARTHOG uses a |
combination of a beautiful stainless steel laser |
etched centre console wrapped in a tough powder |
coated baseplate.Internally the pedal is |
immaculately built using premium 1% metalfilm |
resistors, Wima and Panasonic capacitors, Neutrik |
jacks and a Burr-Brown Opamp. These are the creme |
de la creme of the electronics world and when |
coupled with a robust gold plated PCB and dust |
sealed potentiometers the recipe is as good as it |
can possibly be.Size: Size: (W)65mm x(L)125mm |
