The TC Electronic Grand Magus Distortion is awash with organic amp-like distortion tones, natural tube compression and a rich tight tonal character. In short, it is THE sound of Rock 'N' Roll, packed into a compact metal stompbox at a very affordable price. Grand Magus Distortion's wide gain range and smooth tonal character, mixed with a super-tight low-end response, will take you a Hendrix crunch to beefy Blackmore distortion and all the way to super-saturated Slash solo tones - it has it all under the hood, dark vintage distortion to crisp modern drive tones. Designed and engineered in Denmark, the Grand Magus Distortion comes in a pedalboard-friendly compact road tough metal chassis with top mounted jacks and features True Bybass switching to preserve your signal. It runs on a 9V battery or the optional TC Electronic Powerplug.
