considered an all-time classic due to the wonderfully warm tones it produces.

2. BOUTIQUE OD (BTQ OD)

This models an overdrive unit named after a half-human half-horse creature
appearing in Greek fables.

3. FAT DIST

This models a pedal named after one of the most disliked rodents to ever walk the
planet! The result is a smooth distortion rich in harmonics.

4. ORANGE DIST (OR DIST)

This models a classic distortion unit manufactured in Japan and packaged in an
orange box.

5. METAL DIST (METAL DS)

This models a distortion unit that’s ideal for metal.

6. SHRED DIST (SHRED DS)

This distortion resembles the sound produced by a large amp stack.

7. FUZZ

Retro, rude ‘n’ raw ... the name says it all.

8. OCTAFUZZ

This models a legendary fuzz unit that adds a pitch one octave above the original.
To get the best results, use your neck pickup and play above the 12th fret.
