The Violet Distortion is a new take on distortion/overdrive and a collaboration of the minds of Josh Scott and highly influential Brazilian guitarist Lari Basilio
Add a new and ultra-flexible distortion channel to your favourite clean amplifier. The unique three-band EQ sets the Violet apart from our other popular distortion pedals. The Midrange control is placed before the distortion circuit as a powerful pre-amp distortion shaping tool. This design choice allows the Violet to achieve hundreds of tones, from overdrive to full-on modern distortion. Treble and Bass controls are located in a more traditional position after the distortion circuit, offering familiar but extremely flexible post-distortion shaping you’re accustomed to.
The Violet is also great at stacking with other overdrives, distortions, and fuzzes, allowing it to fit perfectly into any rig as a second or new primary dirt device.
