Category: Distortion Overdrive Pedals

The heart of most boards, from touch-sensitive low-gain overdrive that barely nudges your amp to saturated high-gain distortion built for thick riffing. Voicing varies hugely within this category, so think about whether you want transparent amp-like breakup or a pedal with its own strong tonal identity.Stacking two of these is common practice; a lower-gain drive into a higher-gain distortion often gives more control than either alone.
