Features
The HT-DISTX allows more tonal adjustment than any other pedal
around. The patent-applied-for ISF (Infinite Shape Feature) circuit
gives you infinite adjustment over the characteristics of the tone
control network and takes you from the USA to the UK and
anywhere in between. So now, for the first time, you can effectively
design your own tone and finally find 'the sound in your head'.
This pedal is designed to deliver the most aggressive high gain
valve tones that modern guitarists need and the high voltage valve
design means all the tones available are extremely dynamic and
natural. A no compromise speaker emulated output allows you to
get your great guitar tone straight to tape or disk.
