Shachihoko - Distortion
Unleash the roar of the Ovaltone Shachihoko - a distortion pedal that channels the primal power of the mythical Japanese sea monster. With its insatiable appetite for rich, harmonically-complex tones, this pedal will transform your guitar into a feral beast, ready to devour any musical landscape in its path. Beneath its unassuming exterior lies a meticulously-crafted circuit that summons forth layers of searing gain and dynamic grit. The Shachihoko's unique voicing coaxes out harmonic overtones that add depth and dimension to your sound, giving your riffs and leads a captivating, almost three-dimensional quality. Crank the Gain knob and witness your guitar morph into a buzzing, growling force of nature, perfect for everything from blistering solos to earth-shaking power chords. But the Shachihoko is no one-trick pony. Its intuitive controls allow you to fine-tune the character of the distortion, from smooth and singing to aggressive and unforgiving. The Tone knob puts you in command of the high-end bite, while the Level control ensures you can seamlessly integrate this pedal into your signal chain. Rumor has it that the Shachihoko was a secret weapon in the arsenal of Japanese guitar virtuoso Takeshi Terauchi, who used its preternatural gain to carve out his own slice of surf-rock history. Now, you can channel that same untamed spirit and make the Shachihoko your own.
