Soundblox Multiwave Distortion Pedal by Source Audio

The Multiwave Distortion features 21 distinctive and modern effects not found on typical distortion pedals. Based on new proprietary algorithms, these range from basic overdrive sounds to aggressive synth-like, octave heavy and extreme foldback settings that go far beyond emulations of typical “classic” distortions.

The Multiwave Distortion’s unique Multi-Band mode divides the input signal into several frequency bands, which are distorted separately before being re-combined. Guitarists can play complex distorted chords and each note can be heard with absolute clarity. Several notes can feed back or drone simultaneously while a separate melody is played on top without the typical loss of volume associated with most of other types of distortion.

The Multiwave Distortion is also compatible with the Hot Hand® motion sensor. When connected, Hot Hand controls the amount of gain.

Premier Guitar gave the Multiwave Distortion a Premier Gear award for best new gear of 2008.
