MDT-SS Distortion
Behold the Ken Multi MDT-SS Distortion - a rare and captivating entry in the pantheon of Japanese effects pedals from the early 1990s. This transparent "skeleton" edition offers a unique window into the inner workings of a classic distortion circuit, revealing the JRC4558 operational amplifier at the heart of its sound. Derived from the same OEM design as pedals like the Aria ADT-1 and Monarch MDI-22, the MDT-SS packs a versatile punch. Its smooth, symmetrical clipping delivers a wide range of tones, from light, touch-sensitive overdrive to thick, saturated distortion. The midrange-forward voicing and tight low end make it an ideal companion for rock, blues, and early metal styles, providing a balanced and harmonically rich distortion that retains clarity even at high gain. Three simple controls - Level, Tone, and Distortion - grant quick and intuitive access to this pedal's sonic capabilities. Dial in the perfect amount of grind, then shape the frequency response to taste, from dark and smooth to biting and cutting. The MDT-SS excels as both a primary distortion source and a strategic boost, seamlessly integrating into your signal chain. Encased in a durable, lightweight molded plastic housing, this transparent marvel combines visual appeal and practical durability. Its collectible status within the Japanese OEM distortion family is matched only by the timeless tones it produces, making the Ken Multi MDT-SS a true gem for the discerning guitarist.
