Pitbull Distortion
The 1978 Custom Pitbull Distortion is a ferocious beast of a pedal that will have your guitar snarling and growling with unbridled aggression. Inspired by the heavy rock and metal sounds of the late 1970s, this pedal delivers a thick, saturated distortion that's perfect for riff-heavy anthems and blistering solos. What sets the Pitbull apart is its unique gain structure, which was meticulously crafted by the engineers at 1978 Custom. Rather than the typical op-amp clipping found in many distortion pedals, the Pitbull employs a custom-designed circuit that uses a combination of transistor and diode clipping. This results in a distortion tone that's simultaneously gritty and articulate, with plenty of low-end punch to anchor your sound. But don't let the Pitbull's raw power fool you - it's also remarkably responsive to your playing dynamics. Dig in with your right hand, and the distortion will thicken up, perfect for chugging rhythm parts. Lighten your touch, and the pedal cleans up, allowing your guitar's natural tone to shine through. It's a versatile tool that can adapt to a wide range of playing styles and musical genres. Beloved by hard rock and metal icons like Dimebag Darrell and Zakk Wylde, the 1978 Custom Pitbull Distortion is a must-have for any guitarist seeking a truly distinctive and authoritative distortion tone. Strap in and get ready to unleash the beast.
