When guitarists in the early '60s started experimenting with distortion, it took rock music to the next 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 the Tonebug Reverb and Overdrive pedals, Tonebug Distortion delivers the same legendary T-Rex tone that's made their top-end products a fixture on the pedal boards of guitar greats around the world (see the 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.
