Description
Built directly with Yngwie Malmsteen’s input, this overdrive is engineered around a single mission: deliver the aggressive, singing sustain that fuels neoclassical shred. Rather than a generic drive circuit with a signature slapped on, the tone-shaping voicing here was shaped specifically to match Malmsteen’s attack — tight low end, a cutting midrange that pushes leads through a dense mix, and enough saturation to feel like an amp on the edge of breakup without losing note definition.
On the board, it’s a straightforward two-knob workhorse. Gain and Level are all you need to move from a subtle boost that fattens clean tones into full-on saturated crunch for solos. That simplicity makes it easy to place in a chain — up front into a cranked amp for a classic drive-into-tube stack, or after your tuner and wah for a reliable always-on grit source.
The housing is die-cast metal finished in a high-gloss red, built to survive life on a touring pedalboard rather than a bedroom shelf. True-bypass switching keeps your dry tone untouched when the pedal is off, so it won’t color your signal chain during clean passages. A red LED confirms engagement at a glance under stage lighting.
