BBE Blacksmith BD-69P All-Analog Distortion Guitar Pedal

Theall-analog Blacksmith analog distortion is all about force feeding your tubeamp for a heavier, chunkier distortion. The concept was developed by Paul Gagonin the 1980s when he worked at Jackson Guitars. Back then, Gagon createdpickups, amps and electronics for Jackson instruments and routinely worked withan A-list of artists, from Jeff Beck to Steve Vai and many more. What he foundwas many of the artists loved the sound of their Marshalls but wanted moregrind out of them. Their amps may have gone to eleven, but these guys oftentold Gagon they wanted them to go to fifteen or twenty. Blacksmith is inspiredby those pedals Gagon hand-made back in the ‘80s, delivering all the tone hebrought to the rock gods but with greater consistency and durability.Blacksmith features 1% metal-film resistors, big fat signal traces on amil-spec circuit board, true hardwire bypass to eliminate any pickup loadingwhen disengaged, and a 1meg Ohm input resistance to welcome your axe’s signalwith wide open arms – just like the input on a killer Marshall.
