SONIC CONTROL: Tailor your tone with the Gain knob, which lets you dial in the perfect level of saturation, and the Level knob to adjust volume and drive. Shape your sound to perfection.

SELECTABLE BUFFERS: Enjoy two premium buffers with different characteristics, standard for signal conditioning and vintage for a warmer, smoother response. Your tone, your choice.
