Electro-Harmonix Tortion JFET Overdrive Pedal

Take your guitar tone to new heights with the Electro-Harmonix Tortion JFET Overdrive Pedal, an innovative and advanced tool that delivers the nuanced overdrive and rich distortion reminiscent of a classic tube amplifier. Crafted by the renowned Electro-Harmonix, this high-quality pedal is engineered to satisfy the discerning musician seeking a durable and versatile solution for their sonic arsenal.

The EHX Tortion JFET Overdrive Pedal is a treasure trove of tonal possibilities, offering a wide spectrum of sounds that redefine versatility. With its intuitive controls and comprehensive features, crafting your inspired guitar sound has never been more accessible. The heart of this pedal lies in its JFET circuit, meticulously designed to emulate the dynamic response and warm tonal characteristics of a tube amp's front end.

Equipped with a 3-band EQ, you can sculpt your sound with precision, adjusting the bass, mid, and treble frequencies to achieve the perfect balance. The 4-way Pre-Gain selector allows you to tailor the pedal's voice to suit any style, from smooth blues to aggressive rock.

The pedal's dual-channel capability is a standout feature, with a footswitchable Boost section that introduces a second set of Gain and Volume controls. This effectively transforms the EHX Tortion into a twin-channel preamp, offering a seamless transition from rhythm to lead tones with a simple tap of your foot.

Control your sound with ease using the top row NORMAL GAIN knob to adjust the input gain in NORMAL mode, and the NORMAL VOL knob to set the output level. When you switch to BOOST mode, these controls are bypassed, and the bottom row BOOST GAIN and BOOST VOL knobs take over, providing an independent gain stage and volume control for your boosted signal.

The pedal's operational status is clearly indicated by the red LED for the Bypass Footswitch, which toggles the EHX Tortion between engaged and buffered bypass modes. The blue LED for the Boost Footswitch illuminates when Boost mode is active, offering visual feedback on stage or in the studio.

Connectivity is comprehensive, with a standard 1/4" input jack for your instrument and a 1/4" output jack to send your shaped tone to an amplifier or pedalboard. The Boost SW Jack allows for external footswitch control of the Boost mode, while the DI Output Jack provides a low impedance output, ideal for direct recording or live sound applications.

Whether you're chasing vintage warmth or modern edge, the EHX Tortion JFET Overdrive Pedal is the end of your quest for the ultimate tone.
