The KGB Series is designed specifically to work with K (keys, synths), G (guitar), and B (bass). The Variable Input Impedance works best with passive instruments (guitar / bass) and allows tone-sculpting with or without the distortion circuit engaged.
Lower settings yield softer dynamics / transients with a notable ‘rounded / vintage’ feel and tone. Higher settings give a sharper high frequency response with a more direct / aggressive transient feel and more perceived gain. This makes for a great ’shaping’ control, where you can tune the pedal for it’s best response to the pickups you are using and how you want them to react / feel.
• Multi-diode Distortion featuring independent ’Op-Amp,’ ‘LED’, ‘Silicon’ and ‘Germanium’ circuits.
• Blend dist/dry mix fader
• Polarity Reverse Switch 0/180- reverses the Dry audio signal polarity to be used in conjunction with the BLEND function. 180 setting allows for some frequency cancellation between the DRY and DIST signals, and is used for alternative Blended tones.
• LED - unique “soft-clipping” generated using back to back LEDs.
• Si - Silicon diode circuit using back to back silicon diodes.
• Ge - Germanium diode circuit using back to back Schottky diode
• Dry Out (permanent ‘thru’ dry signal (pre-imp selector))
• 1/4” Output

Wow! Really awesome distortion pedal! I love the different modes and the blend knob is really useful! Very crunchy but focused sound. Great on guitar, bass, drums and synths! It can really be used on anything! I’m going to try it on vocals next!

The KGB Distortion is built like a tank and the range of tones is amazing. To top it off, the blend function lets you add the perfect amount of hair to your sound. It’s a keeper.

Sounds amazing. I don’t generally like distortion pedals I rather amp distortion or fuzz pedals but this thing sounds amazing and I’ve tried it through multiple amps.

I ordered the Sidejack Standard HB Pelham Blue which was on sale for 10% off. I've been looking at Eastwood guitars for years and decided at this point in my life to just get one and decided on the Sidejack. (I have a friend with an original Mosrite). Guitar was received, double boxed as expected, packaged properly between exterior box and guitar box, however, I heard the guitar shifting about in the guitar box. On opening, the guitar was wrapped ok, but the stryfoam inserts on the sides and...
