The pedal celebrates 6L6GC/5881-based tones and features a Fender Bassman-type tone stack with its controls including Volume, Presence, Treble, and Bass.

Gunny Quint on 11/15/2010	I was stationed in Japan for a few years. Japanese players pay through the nose for the best of the best stuff, whether it's home grown or imported. I've always wondered about the financial translation for the home grown stuff should any of those companies decide to branch out, which it looks like Far East is now doing. Should be interesting to see if some kind of distribution and scaled back price ends up happening.
