Guyatone HD-2 Harmonic Distortion

The quest for the ultimate distorted guitar tone trails back into history. Tales of guitarists loosening tubes and punching holes in speakers to create distortion are the stuff of legend.
But what really does sound best? One of the indisputable classics is the first-series Big Muff. Trouble is, finding one that works nowadays is an expensive, time-consuming task. Unfortunately, the sounds of the reissues just don't stack up, and they're bulky and unreliable to boot.
Luckily, there is an alternative. The Guyatone HD-2 Harmonic Distortion offers a faithful replication of that classic tone, with some added benefits to boot. The HD-2 is a transistor distortion based on the most popular vintage designs. Its dual clipping stages provide a considerable amount of distortion yet with a note-to-note definition and dynamic responsiveness not found in other current market pedals. Level and Distortion controls offer variable volume and clipping and as on the OD-2 they've foregone a tone control in order to reproduce the instrument's tonal characteristics more accurately.
