The Violet
By JHS Pedals
A distortion/overdrive collaboration with guitarist Lari Basilio, with a pre-gain midrange control for shaping the drive itself.
About this pedal
The Violet Distortion, designed with Brazilian guitarist Lari Basilio, places its Midrange control before the gain stage rather than after, letting players sculpt the character of the distortion itself and stack cleanly with other overdrives and fuzzes for tones ranging from mild overdrive to full modern distortion.
