Smack a power chord and you (not only) hear the fundamental notes...but you get (count 'em) 4, 5, even 6 additional overtones ringing into a feedback...notes that you can whistle if your ear is good enough! Think; Zep's "Ocean," "Custard Pie," Classic tones including James Gang, the Beatles, AC/DC, FREE., etc

Back off the guitar's volume and there are a dozen great other sounds at your fingertips...Clean, spanky sounds, with all the highs and lows still intact. And a Tele still sounds like a Tele, a Les Paul like a Les Paul.

PEDALS (until now) just can't hold a candle to what a good amp can do. You not only lose all the touch, but forget about those complex Harmonics . . . It's always been somewhat of a compromise using Overdrive pedals . . . until now.
