What our editors saw on day 2 of Summer NAMM in Nashville.
Toneconcepts' The Distillery has to be about one of the most versatile boost/drive pedals yet conceived. Just back from road testing and development with Nels Cline, David Hidalgo, and Cesar Rosas among others, the pedal seems to be home to about a billion different shades of OD, and the interactive contour and edge controls enable crazy-precise, pinpoint tone control. Look for it to drop in August along with limited, painted artist models for Cline and Los Lobos.
