DS-160 Distortion

The Wholenote DS-160 Distortion is a unique and versatile pedal that delivers a thick, dynamic distortion unlike any other. Rather than the typical fuzz-like distortion, this pedal is designed to faithfully reproduce the natural nuances and expression of your playing. From a smooth, singing sustain to a roaring, high-gain crunch, the DS-160 covers an impressive range of distortion tones. Its secret lies in the carefully engineered circuitry, which captures the organic response and touch sensitivity that guitarists crave. Crank up the gain and you'll unleash a wall of distortion that retains clarity and definition, perfect for blistering lead lines or chugging rhythm parts. But the DS-160 isn't just about brute force - it also excels at more refined, musical distortion. The onboard tone control allows you to sculpt the overall timbre, taming harsh high-end or adding a smooth, creamy midrange. This makes it an excellent choice for everything from classic rock to modern metal, with the ability to seamlessly transition between singing overdrive and snarling distortion. Rumor has it that this pedal was a secret weapon for Jimi Hendrix, who used it to achieve his legendary distorted tones. Whether that's true or not, one thing is certain: the Wholenote DS-160 Distortion is a must-try for any guitarist seeking a distinctive, expressive distortion that can elevate their sound to new heights.
