Distortion 2
The Trio Distortion 2 is a relentless, high-gain powerhouse that takes your tone to the brink of sonic annihilation. This pedal is not for the faint of heart - it's a distortion junkie's dream, delivering a punishing, saturated crunch that'll make your amp beg for mercy. Designed by the sonic alchemists at Trio, the Distortion 2 takes the company's acclaimed original Trio Distortion and cranks everything up to 11. With a robust 3-band EQ and an adjustable Gain knob, you can sculpt your distortion from a smooth, singing sustain to a seething, fuzz-like onslaught. The Trio's unique clipping circuit provides an impressively tight low end and harmonically rich upper mids that cut through the mix like a chainsaw. This pedal's voicing is heavily inspired by the high-gain monsters of the '80s and '90s, making it a perfect match for hard rock, metal, and even djent styles. Legendary shredder Yngwie Malmsteen is said to have used an early prototype of the Trio Distortion 2 to achieve his trademark incendiary leads. But don't let its heavy-handed nature fool you - the Distortion 2 is a remarkably responsive and dynamic effect. Roll back your guitar's volume and it cleans up beautifully, allowing you to coax out rich, creamy tones. Pair it with a tubescreamer for an even more intense, saturated sound, or use it alone for a distortion so thick you could spread it on toast.
