The GNI X-Treme Distortion pedal can perform from a light distortion to an "x-treme" one. The Extreme Distortion accomplishes this task by turning on two adjustable distortion stages simultaneously, as you press the "x-treme" pedal. More than adding distortion, this also increases the output level, emphasizing your solo over the band.
The GNI Xtreme also has a 3 position "mod" switch which lets you choose a vintage classical timbre, a modern heavy timbre or an intermediate one.
GNI X-Treme Distortion Pedal Controls:
- DIST: This adjusts intensity of the first distortion stage.
- EXTREME: This adjusts intensity of the second distortion stage, which is enabled when you press the "x-treme" pedal.
- LOW / HIGH: These two knobs adjust the respective frequency ranges.
- LEVEL: Effect's output level.
- MOD SWITCH: This gives you three different timbres according to the selected position:
- Vintage: characteristic of classical bands.
- Intermediate
- Modern: characteristic of modern, heavy bands.
- EXTREME LED ("ext."): This indicates when the extreme mode is enabled. If the effect is off (bypass mode), this LED just indicates that the extreme mode will be active next time you turn the effect on.
- EFFECT LED ("on"): This indicates when effect is on. Its color changes according to the selection made on the "mod" switch.
