"What a great distortion....this is truly the BEST distortion I ever heard.  It covers all frequencies...something most other distortions don't...very quiet also!" - R.K., Premium Pedals, Netherlands.

"The Rat section of it is just killing me. Love it." - Marc Copely, NYC (Billy Squier, East Village Opera Company)

"..got the pedal sat. and it kicks butt!!!  Very versatile and dynamic.  Sounds good on every channel...can't say that about my other overdrives/distortions.  You got a winner and I'll be back for more..." - C.B. Corvalis, Oregon

The Hartman Electronics LM308 Op-Amp Distortion guitar pedal offers two modes of distortion inspired by the edgy, modern styles distortion popularized by punk, new-wave and college-rock bands of the late 70's and early 80's.

Selectable on-the-fly via stomp switch, the first distortion mode (A) employs a diode-clipping stage to produce a classic distortion and crunch of the original upon which it is based, exhibiting the same sensitivity to player pick-attack, palm-muting- and pinch-harmonics.

The second distortion mode (SYM) transforms the pedal into an overdrive, increasing transparency, headroom, and dynamic response, and producing a hotter output signal suitable for overdriving the input of downstream amps/devices.  Your strat sounds like a strat, your LP sounds like an LP; no more masking the tone of your instrument, but still plenty of scream, crunch, and sustain.
