Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized Line 6 dealer

If you like warm, full-bodied overdrive, Crunchtone features three juicy models: Blues, Pop and Crunch. Based on Line 6's arsenal of power tube overdrive models, Crunchtone also give you a simple yet versatile tone control for easy tweaking, and a built-in Noise Gate.

Model Switch
Switching this instantly reconfigures Crunchtone. You get three of the juiciest overdrive sounds this side of Tejas!

Blues - Designed to produce a glassy, snappy 6L6-style overdrive tone for playing the blues.

Pop - Just the thing when you need a nice, 60's-style Class-A pop/rock bark.

Crunch - Gives a punchy, slightly compressed overdrive tone, much like what you'd get from a British-style full stack amp-and-cab setup.

Gate
Switching this instantly reconfigures Crunchtone. You get three of the juiciest overdrive sounds this side of Tejas!

Off - Disables the Gate.

Gate 1 - A soft and mild noise gate, self-adjusting to your current Drive knob setting (cool, huh?).

Gate 2 - A heavy, fast-clamping gate. Great for those aggressive metal chords and palm muting.

Controls
Level - This sets the output level. Crunchtone has plenty of output to spare, so if you crank the Level knob, you can score some extra overdrive from the amp your feeding it to.

Bass - Add more lows to your sound by turning this knob up, or reduce it by turning the knob down. Point the knob straight up to leave your tone unaltered.

Treble - Just like the Bass knob, only it's working the highs.

Drive - The Drive knob controls the amount of distortion created within your Crunchtone. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Line 6 products.

"Finally, a digital pedal worthy of purists!"

Sound: It drops a little bit of the lows at the extremes, but then again, what distortion pedal doesn't? I absolutely adore the sound of this pedal. It's versatility is unmatched in the price bracket (under $200) Feature: This had no power supply. That's my only complaint. There are no useless settings on this box. The features and knobs are well tailored to meet a variety of guitarists' needs. Quality: This thing is built like a tank, and weighs about as much. Value: No equal in the price bracket. Not even the TS808 (I know someone was offended by that, try it out!). I used to be a analog pedal purist, and still am for delay and whatnot. Not so in my distortion department. This replaces a Tim and a Klon (yes, both of them). Manufacturer Support: Never dealt with them. Overall: I sat down, played through ti for a few minutes, took it home, plugged into my Les Paul/Vox/EV rig, and WOW! The only possible replacement is a Dr. Distorto or another Crunchtone.

Style of Music: Alabama to Zeppelin
