Stax Greenizer Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal

1. Koniec produktuview

The Stax Greenizer is a compact, vintage tube-like overdrive effects pedal designed for electric guitar and bass. It recreates the classic sound of a 70's tube scream amplifier, offering rich, warm overdrive tones. Built with a durable full metal (zinc alloy) shell, this pedal is designed for reliability and portability. It features a true bypass switch to ensure your instrument's signal remains unaltered when the effect is disengaged.

The pedal offers two distinct modes: 'Boost' for a higher gain output and 'Normal' for standard overdrive, allowing musicians to craft their desired sound.
