Shred-O-Matic

The Akai Shred-O-Matic offers mind-bending 12AX7A tube and diode distortion in one unit. It features easy-to-see and easy-to-use controls, including output level control and LED indicator for distortion mode. The pedal allows dynamic control of drive level, output level, and the ability to mix tube and diode distortion for customization. It provides the option to choose between four distortion modes: TUBE, DIODE, MIX (with two selectable modes: SMOOTH and PASSION). The pedal also features a foot switch for turning the effects on and off, and a 'true bypass' function when the unit is off, allowing the signal to completely bypass the unit without circuitry coloring the straight sound. The foot pedal can be used to control the drive level or output level, providing real-time pedal performance control.
