From virtuous protector to oathbreaker, the Paladin can do it all, from edge-of-breakup overdrive to amp-like lead tones—thanks to its different clipping options and highly variable tone control. Take up arms and smite the forces of evil!
The Paladin is a unique overdrive/distortion pedal based on a hidden gem of the 1980s - the Yamaha OD-10MII - with a few key modifications and added features.
With a clipping selector switch that toggles between the “stock” silicon clipping and germanium clipping, the Paladin is a great medium gain drive pedal with plenty of headroom and gain on tap for running through clean or dirty amps. Unlike other 1980s Japanese overdrive circuits - *cough* *cough* Tube Screamer - the Paladin’s EQ is responsive and highly adjustable, wielding a tone control with a broad, useable sweep that you don’t need to pass a perception check to detect.
Two Distinct Clipping Flavors
Highly-Responsive EQ
Thanks to a highly adjustable active tone control that is usable across its broad sweep, the Paladin offers a ton of nuanced tonal variation. When paired with the different clipping options, you can find anything from classic overdrive sounds to searing amp-like lead tones with touch-sensitive compression.
