Prickly Pear Distortion


Shop on:



This is a distortion pedal. I designed it for myself because I couldn't find a distortion pedal that sounded exactly how I wanted. This sounds exactly how I want a distortion pedal to sound.



It gets trashy and fuzzy when you play hard, especially at higher gain settings, and it cleans up nicely with lighter picking. Mids and lows are preserved for room filling and surprisingly dynamic palm-muted power chords. Leads and percussive strums have just the right amount of bite and intermodulaton.



I'm proud of this pedal and I think it sounds really good. Sound samples are below if you'd like to hear if you like it too!



sound samples:

overdrive - gain 25



crunch - gain 50



distortion - gain 75



distortion/fuzz - gain 100
