Kroaked

An all-transistor dirt box that goes from sparkly clean boost to gigantic saturated distortion. The three highly interactive controls create a wide range of tones from pristine cleans to super-compressed destruction.

LVL is a linear clean boost preceding the second gain stage rather than an output volume. DRT controls distortion level and character, delivering the greatest nuances in saturated even-order harmonics between 0 and 9 o'clock, with full-blown destruction beyond. CMP evens out dynamics with a perceived compression effect.

All controls are highly interactive, so adjusting one knob yields different results depending on the other settings. Handmade near Philadelphia, PA.
