The Special Cranker is an all-discrete analog distortion enhancement device that adds grit and boost to your signal without drastically altering your tone. Its design allows it to retain the natural nuances and character of your amplifier, similar to adding an extra preamp tube for more saturation. When played, single notes exhibit rich harmonics and singing sustain, creating a responsive, tube-like sag. Power chords become thicker and crunchier, while complex chords maintain their distinctness. This pedal is crafted to preserve tonal integrity, ensuring a clean low-end and clear midrange.
