Palladium Gain Stage

The Palladium Gain Stage by Seymour Duncan is a versatile effects pedal designed to capture the feel and responsiveness of a high-gain tube amp. It features three gain stages, including an overall saturation control, a resonance control for low-frequency gain shaping, and a boost control that adds overdrive to the beginning of the signal path. This allows for a wide range of tones, from classic rock at lower settings to modern metal at higher gain settings.

The Palladium Gain Stage is suitable for use with a power amp or a clean guitar amp to create a high-gain signature sound, or in front of a distorted amp to tighten up the attack for rhythms or increase sustain and saturation for solos. It offers comprehensive EQ control, making it adaptable to various amp setups.
