Distortion Effects
Tri-Knob Fuzz
The pedal that inspired Tri-Knob Fuzz was a
transistor-based unit, originally popular with
lead guitarists searching for ever-higher gain in
the 70s. It shone again in the 90s grunge rock
scene, probably pushed further into woolly
grind than its makers would have ever antici-
pated.
Volume
Sets the overall output volume of the ef-
fect.
Sustain
Sets the gain of the fuzz circuit.
Tone
Changes the tonal balance of the effect,
from deep and full of sub-bass to high and shrill.
BlackOp Distortion
Inspired by an 80s-era op-amp-based distortion
pedal, BlackOp Distortion offers massive crunch
and power. Its hard-clipping drive can squeeze
aggressive rhythm and lead tones out of soft-
sounding vintage amps, and create surprisingly
hard-edged tones when paired with more mod-
ern amps.
Green JRC Overdrive
Green JRC Overdrive was inspired by a low-gain
70s overdrive pedal, loved by blues and blues-
rock players the world over for its sweet, singing
sting. It can be used to simply drive an amp’s in-
put section into gentle clipping, or supply some
dirty glow of its own.
Modulation Effects
Flanger
Originating from the act of pressing on the
flanges of tape reels, and becoming even more
popular with the advent of analog pedals, the
Flanger effect can be coaxed into bell-like reso-
nant sweeps, or add a silky, shimmering sheen.
This effect works well when positioned before or
after the amplifier in the signal chain.
Pre-Dl
Sets the amount of pre-delay, which
changes the phase relationship between the dry
signal and the delayed signal, with timbral re-
sults.
