Description
Motherload pays homage to the classic fuzz/distortion pedals that set the benchmark of saturated guitar sound. At the heart of this pedal, you will find two distinct all-analog circuits inspired by the Holy Grail of Big Muff and RAT designs.
The R circuit goes from a touch of overdrive all the way up to roaring distortion. The filter knob is there to ensure that you will smooth out high frequencies or cut through the mix when needed. The M side is the classic fuzz distortion beast you would expect but with great string separation and is rich in harmonics for almost infinite sustain. The tone knob is the classic muff-style knob while the voice knob helps you cycle through the wide spectrum of muff design variations.
Each circuit is independent from the other with its own EQ controls until you hit the LINK EQ button. This is where all the magic happens! Now all the EQ controls are active in both circuits and a whole new sonic palette is available to you.
