distorsore per chitarra - quando negli anni ’60 i chitarristi iniziarono a sperimentare la distorsione, portarono la musica rock ad una nuova dimensione. i primi tentativi furono piuttosto rozzi, alcuni chitarristi cercarono di ottenere un suono “fuzzy” addirittura con dei tagli sui coni dei loro amplificatori. in seguito i produttori di amplificatori iniziarono a capire come inserire un “overdrive” grazie a un segnale caldo proveniente dal preamplificatore. il tonebug distortion è un pedale fantastico che da una distorsione ricca, simile a quella valvolare ripicamente rock. questo pedale è semplicissimo da usare grazie ai suoi controlli molto intuitivi - controlli: gain + tone + level - switches: on/off.

let there be distortion…
when guitarists in the early ’60s started experimenting with distortion, it took rock music to a whole new level. the earliest attempts were crude, with some guitarists even slitting their amp speakers to get a “fuzzy” sound. but amplifier makers eventually figured out how “overdrive” a main amp with a hot signal from a preamp to bring true distortion to the world of rock.
simply classic
tonebug distortion is a phenomenal-sounding pedal that delivers gobs of rich, tubey-sounding distortion you’ll recognise instantly as a fundamental ingredient of classic guitar rock. and it couldn’t be easier to use. a simple gain knob lets you choose how dirty you want to get, while a tone knob lets you tune the timbre of your distortion – from a muted bluesy crunch to a searing wail that’ll slice through anything in its way.
t-rex tone
like our tonebug reverb and overdrive pedals, tonebug distortion delivers the same legendary t-rex tone that’s made our top-end products a fixture on the pedal boards of guitar greats around the world (see our website for recent t-rex sightings). that, combined with cool retro design and rugged constr tion, makes tonebug distortion a pedal you just won’t want to play without.
controls
use the gain knob to set the amount of distortion (turn it up for a dirtier sound).
use the tone knob to “tune” your distortion to just the right timbre.
set the overall volume of your distorted sound with the level knob.
