DISTORTION AND OVERDRIVE TOGETHER AT LAST!

- Flexible distortion pedal capable of producing blended overdrive/distortion sounds
- Provides both "over-the-top" distortion sounds and less extreme overdrive tones for rhythm playing
- Includes Level, Tone, Drive, and Color controls for precise tonal shaping
