Mireille Chevalier Distortion
The HATA Mireille Chevalier is a boutique distortion and overdrive pedal handcrafted in Japan, known for its high-quality construction and versatile gain range. Designed to function as both a high-gain overdrive and a standalone distortion, it features a unique circuit that maintains exceptional clarity and string definition even at maximum saturation. Its touch-sensitive design allows it to follow input levels closely, responding dynamically to picking strength and guitar volume adjustments. The pedal is housed in a distinctive chassis made of bent C2801 brass sheet metal, finished with a world-first "Madara" (mottled) plating process that ensures every unit has a unique aesthetic pattern. Key technical features include an active filter Tone control for precise frequency boosting and high-end brass knobs for improved operability. Because it preserves low-end integrity at high gain, the Mireille Chevalier is highly recommended for multi-string guitars and bassists seeking a hard, crisp, and harmonically rich tone.
