This BIG EAR Pedals - Woodcutter Distortion is a fresh take some classic RAT pedal sounds. Delivering gritty, raucous distorted tones, the Woodcutter has a nice level of compression, including a really tight, usable low-end. The tone control works as a filter control, with things getting darker with the knob to the right, and brighter to the left. Great sounding gear from the crew at Big Ear!
