Designed to give the player a total command and control over a spectrum of different gains and harmonic distortions from classic fat rock tones to jangly indie lines and everything in between. The Monolith delivers expressive gain even at low levels. With a very pleasing dynamic response to pick attack; the harder you dig, the more expressive it gets. Even at high gain levels, when you hit it hard you can still hear every note of big chords as well as the nuances of intricate lead lines. Buffered bypass. Powered by a 9 volt battery or AC adaptor (RPC91).
