Bi-Metal
Crank up the volume and prepare to be blown away by the Garland Amps Bi-Metal – a true sonic powerhouse that takes your tone to new, dizzying heights. This all-tube preamp/pedal packs a serious punch, with two 12AX7 tubes pushing out a blistering signal that can range from a smooth, creamy overdrive to a face-melting high-gain assault. What sets the Bi-Metal apart is its uncompromising approach to tube design. Unlike many pedals that starve their tubes, this beast runs them at a staggering 300V, unleashing the full potential of those glowing glass bottles. The result is a level of harmonic richness and dynamic responsiveness that you simply won't find in solid-state or even most tube-based effects. Versatility is key here, with the Bi-Metal offering two distinct channels that allow you to craft your perfect sound. Dial in a smooth, singing lead tone on one side, then switch over to the other channel for a blistering high-gain assault that'll have your bandmates scrambling for earplugs. And with its robust, road-ready construction, this pedal is built to withstand the rigors of the stage, ensuring your tone stays huge night after night. Rumor has it that the legendary Stevie Ray Vaughan was a secret admirer of the Bi-Metal, using it to fuel his scorching live performances. While we can't confirm that, we can say with certainty that this pedal is a must-have for any guitarist seeking to unlock their inner sonic beast.
