British Distortion - A Tone Guide

Devotees of classic British amps stand up and be counted! Our new British Distortion pedal offers guitarists the thick, rich, harmonic laden sound that launched a thousand bands. From crunchy rock tones at lower gain settings to searing sustain-drenched solo sounds when pushed to the max, the British Distortion will redefine your idea of what is possible to achieve without messy, hard-to-maintain tubes. Fed up with a dry, sterile distortion sound? Check out the soundfiles below to get an idea of what’s possible with the British Distortion.

High Gain Scream
Saturated tube-like tones come to the fore at high gain settings – sustain that lasts for days and incredible harmonics jump off the fret board. Think of any player that plays a British amp “cranked” to the max, and start playing!
