Dirty Old Man - Overdrive / Distortion
Escape Plan Pedals' Dirty Old Man is a captivating overdrive/distortion that breathes new life into your guitar tone. This dual JFET op-amp creation features cascading clipping stages that break up at different points, unlocking a world of smooth, textured drive sounds. At lower gain settings, the Dirty Old Man adds just enough grit to make your tube amp sound on the verge of breakup, accentuating the nuances of your playing. As you crank the "Filth" control, the second clipping stage kicks in, delivering rich, sustain-laden drive. Maxed out, the distortion becomes thick and aggressive, yet remarkably defined - even complex chords ring out with clarity.

Crank both to the max for a lo-fi, AM radio-esque filter, perfect for intro or breakdown sections. Despite its powerful clipping, the Dirty Old Man packs a volume boost to drive your amp into sweet spot territory, even at lower gain settings. This makes it an incredibly versatile tool, capable of everything from light overdrive to searing distortion.
