Stonewall Audio: Stage One - Gain Stage Pedal

https://stonewall.audio
Stonewall Audio's Victor Rey is understandably very proud of his Stage One pedal. The Stage One aims to emulate the various front-end stages of an amplifier and it does it very well, in my opinion. Rather than being a classic overdrive or distortion, the Stage One reacts more like a slightly to heavily overdriven amplifier with the added bonus of 'Bright/Normal' and 'Tight/Thick' toggles to further tailor your experience and tone. The Boost component begins at around +12dB and completely wound up will give you around +30dB of extra gain. This is a dynamic pedal that you can really feel under the fingers. Bravo, Victor. I predict great things for you in 2022.
