The 3 different distortion modes are based on three different technology of distortion to recreate the sound styles and techniques used by Eddie Kramer over more than 50 years of producing and recording.
MODE 1 Highly dynamic, vintage and classic germanium diode based. It goes from subtle crunch to Jimiʼs Fuzz.
MODE 2 A “tube” sound style, still very dynamic, with great definition and creamy high ends. Try some Led Zeppelin on this!
MODE 3 Most compressed mode with slight less output for a lot of attack and a more aggressive sound.
