Maestro Invader Distortion Pedal

Maestro Invader Distortion Pedal

The Invader is a high-gain, all-analog modern distortion pedal with an aggressive, dominant sonic character and rich harmonics, generating a wide range of distorted sounds. The 3-knob control layout offers intuitive control over Gain (distortion amount), Tone, and output Level, with more than enough volume on tap to easily exceed unity gain when desired. Players can also engage a built-in noise gate with the top panel toggle switch. An internal trim pot mounted on the circuit board inside the pedal allows adjustments to the level of the noise gates Threshold. The true bypass footswitch triggers the LED lights in the bugles in the Maestro logo when its on, so youll always know when the effect is active.
