Stage Hog
Unleash the Roar of Vintage Tube Tone with the Stephenson Stage Hog The Stephenson Stage Hog is a one-of-a-kind guitar pedal that blurs the line between a high-gain distortion unit and a fully-fledged tube amplifier. Designed by Canadian pedal guru Mark Stephenson, this compact powerhouse packs the sonic punch of a classic cranked tube amp into a pedalboard-friendly package. Unlike most distortion pedals that rely on solid-state circuits, the Stage Hog's secret lies in its all-tube preamp and power amp design. By harnessing the natural compression and harmonics of genuine vacuum tubes, the Stage Hog delivers a rich, dynamic distortion that's more akin to a vintage Marshall or Fender amp than a typical overdrive pedal. The key to the Stage Hog's versatility is its Power Scale control, which allows you to dial in the perfect amount of power tube saturation. Crank it up for a thick, snarling lead tone, or back it off for a smoother, more organic crunch. Pair this with the Voice switch, which toggles between a tight, modern high-gain sound and a more vintage-inspired midrange punch, and you have a pedal that can cover a wide range of tones. But the Stage Hog isn't just a distortion powerhouse - it also functions as a low-wattage practice amp, allowing you to get that sought-after tube tone at bedroom volumes. Simply connect it to any guitar cabinet and you're ready to rock. Whether you're a classic rock aficionado or a modern metal maven, the Stephenson Stage Hog is a must-have addition to any serious guitarist's arsenal. Prepare to be blown away by the raw, uncompromising power of pure tube tone.
