All-tube" distortion with controlled gain that lets your tones get through. Traditional stomp boxes tend to color your sound when applied to the front end of your amp. The PhatMan circuit is designed to be transparent so you hear your true tone at any setting. Volume and Gain controls allow you to dial in degrees of pre-amp distortion from a bluesy clip to full on hyper-drive. It is extremely touch sensitive, allowing you to create sonic timbres reflecting your style.
