Hand-built for superior quality
Crafted in the USA, the 250-50th is built using premium through-hole components for unmatched durability and authentic sound. This meticulous construction process ensures every pedal delivers the high-quality performance, earning it the title of "America's Pedal". The lightweight yet sturdy aluminium chassis provides portability without compromising strength. This is an expertly crafted pedal that aims to give you tonnes of carefully crafted gain and distortion.
Unparalleled tonal versatility
With a three-position toggle switch, this pedal offers unprecedented flexibility for any playing style. The silicon mode recreates the original overdrive tone, while the Germanium asymmetrical ("Ge/ASYM") clipping mode introduces a warm, harmonic distortion. For added creativity, the lift mode removes diode clipping entirely, offering clean boosts or dirty boosts powered by the vintage LM741 op-amp.
Enhanced functionality with modern upgrades
Designed with modern needs in mind, the 250-50th features true bypass circuitry for a pristine signal path. The neon yellow-green LED indicator and modern 9V DC power compatibility add practicality to the pedal's classic design. Alongside these functional upgrades, exclusive accessories like a custom laser-etched pedal topper, unique picks, and stickers make this edition a fantastic addition to your setup.
