Hughes and Kettner Warp Factor Distortion Pedal
No longer available at zZounds
Includes power supply.
Overview
Ultra low, ultra bad and fulminating with explosive energy -- that's the formula for 21st century guitar tone. An unprecedented sound, conventional rock 'n' roll amps don't have what it takes to deliver it. Now finally there's a solution -- the Warp Factor -- the first stomp box that injects Nu Metal energy into every amp.
The Warp Factor's special circuitry generates the kind of fierce distortion and dark, heavy chunk that powers modern metal styles. Simply insert it between your guitar and your amp's clean channel, drop your axe's tuning, and stand back 'cause a mammoth metal sound is about to bowl you over! That sought-after drop-D sound is the product of highly charged, low-frequency energy that no battery-powered circuit can deliver. That's why the Warp Factor gets its juice from a wall wart.
The Warp effect's EQ characteristics, gain and output level are separately variable; a selector (sub) adjusts the sound to suit combos and 4 x 12 in. stacks.
The Warp Factor turns every amp into a merciless Nu Metal monster!

As a musician ONE product will NEVER meet my needs, (one can never have too many toys. This is however a great unit, and if it were broke or stolen I would most likely buy a new one.
Sound
I own a Flying V with Duncan Distortion pickups and a Peavey Audition (small practice amp). It has a great pre-amp sound but switching between clean and overdrive was a pain. I was jamming in a local music shop enjoying a full selection of badass amps that were at my disposal, the rep from Hughes and Kettner showed up while I was playing and asked me if I had ever tried the Warp Factor pedal. I told him no, and he hooked it up. I was impressed, so much so that I bought the unit right then. When I took it home and ran it through my Peavey I was even more impressed. This unit has a great sound. It's a must for the metal rocker. Two thumbs up!!!
Features
It only comes with an AC power unit, battery back-up would be nice.
Ease of Use
The features are simple to use.
Quality
Very well made, flat and sturdy.
Value
It is not as pricey as some other units but it sure does deliver the sound.
Manufacturer Support
Never needed it
The Wow Factor
It has a futuristic look, my Stargate friends wondered when it would send us through the wormhole! LOL
