The power to drive your distortion sound, no matter the style.

The DigiTech Hot Head Distortion Pedal is what you want when you need some grit. The multipurpose Hot Head distortion pedal has flexible controls that let you dial in the right tone for your setup. If you want just a little dirt or you need your amp to sound like a raging stack, the DigiTech Hot Head Guitar Pedal can do it. Low and High tone controls give you the flexibility to boost or cut the bass and treble frequencies, the Level knob boosts the output level of your signal, and the Gain knob dials up mild to wild distortion. The Amp output runs into the input of your amplifier and the dedicated Mixer output has a cabinet emulation circuit that lets you run direct into a mixer or recorder when you don't want to lug your amp along.

DigiTech Hot Head Distortion Guitar Effects Pedal Features:

• High, Low, Level, and Gain controls
• Amp and recording/mixer outputs

I've owned the Hot Head pedal for over a year and I'm still as pleased with it as I was the day I bought it. I tried it out "head-to-head" in my local music store against three of the other popular brands and this one had the best sound, IMHO, and it was the least expensive.

This is an excellent tube distortion pedal, turn the gain down for just the right amount of breakup, and crank it to get crazy! The only problem is that i found the amp channel to be too tinny, this was easily solved by running out of the mixer output and tone adjustments. Also my experience has shown Digitech to actually outlast more expensive Boss products, excellent quality. Overall excellent buy and great addition to any pedalboard classic, bluesy, biting tube sound!

I have had this pedal for over 4 years now and it truly can do everything. I also own a Boss Super Distortion, which is almost two times as much money. This thing still out plays it in my opinion. Digitech customer service is also one of the best. When the pedal was not working I called them for assistance. The small piece of rubber that actually hits the on/off switch when you press your foot down had fallen off. The technician not only helped me identify the problem, he hand addressed a package and had it shipped to me. Great pedal, Great tone, Great company, Great investment.

I bougth this pedal about a year ago and it was fine for a while, but then I started playing live shows and it just was not very good quality. Take my advice, spend a little extra money and buy a boss or something.
