Designed in collaboration with Amos Heller this pedal delivers a wide range of sonic possibilities from smooth warmth to raw saturated chaos.

Featuring a dedicated sub-octave output the Kaamos opens up creative opportunities for multi-amp setups.

Distortion clips the waveform more firmly than overdrive, generating dense upper harmonics, longer sustain and a more compressed response. Circuit topology and filtering decide whether the sound is tight and focused, broad and aggressive, smooth or deliberately abrasive. Gain sets the amount of clipping, while pre- and post-distortion tone controls strongly influence low-end definition, midrange presence and high-frequency texture.
