Cult

Joe Gore designed the Cult as an exercise in simplicity: one knob controls gain, and that's it. But don't let the minimalist layout fool you—Guitar Player magazine called it "the most dynamic overdrive we've heard," and the praise is deserved.

Unlike overdrive pedals that compress and squash your signal, the Cult actually boosts note dynamics. The germanium circuit responds to your playing in ways that inspire rather than constrain. Roll back guitar volume for clean tones, dig in for growl.

The single Gain knob covers enormous ground, from subtle warmth to full-on fuzz territory. Joe Gore's pedals are built in San Francisco with the same attention to feel and response that he brings to his work as composer, producer, and guitarist.
