The Multiwave Distortion features 21 distinctive and modern effects not found on typical distortion pedals. Based on new proprietary algorithms, these range from basic overdrive sounds to aggressive synth-like, octave heavy and extreme foldback settings that go far beyond emulations of typical “classic” distortions.

The Multiwave Distortion’s unique Multi-Band mode divides the input signal into several frequency bands, which are distorted separately before being re-combined. Guitarists can play complex distorted chords and each note can be heard with absolute clarity. Several notes can feed back or drone simultaneously while a separate melody is played on top without the typical loss of volume associated with most of other types of distortion.

The Multiwave Distortion is also compatible with the Hot Hand® motion sensor. When connected, Hot Hand® controls the amount of gain.

Premier Guitar gives the Multiwave Distortion a Premier Gear award for best new gear of 2008.
