Crunchy, Grungy

Need a distortion pedal with large tonal spectrum than normal distortion pedal? Need more crunchy tone than a DS-1.

Digitech Grunge Distortion can fulfill all these needs.

Grunge has a special feature from other distortion pedal. Most distortion pedals, like BOSS DS-1 or ModTone Speedbox Distortion, only have one 'Tone' knob. However, Grunge is equipped with a Low and High instead which gives the user a larger tonal spectrum. It only requires the user's creativity to produce various tone from this Grunge. The DigiTech Website provides a few of its presets though. It is also provided in the manual booklet you get from buying this, too.

Grunge, when in comparison to DS-1, has more crunchy sound, the first impression I got from it when I first listen to it at its website. This would be a suitable pedal for anyone who seek for a distortion power of DS-1 but with more crunch and colour. I personally find DS-1 very raw but empty.

Grunge can be bought at Swee Lee, the sole DigiTech distributor. It costs around S$107. If you are looking for a cheaper deal and willing to wait for 2 weeks, you may also check on eBay. However, eBay has its own limitation; you can't see the pedal's condition beforehand.
