Joe Gore Cult Germanium Overdrive Pedal Features

• Inspired by 1960s germanium booster designs
• Delivers fatter lows and fewer piercing highs
• Enhanced dynamic response and tonal flexibility
• Crisp, defined note attacks with harmonically rich distortion
• Maintains edge and presence in dense mixes
• Ideal for players who sculpt sound through touch and dynamics

NOTE: One great thing about “Reamer” pedals is the way they provide solid distortion sounds even when the pedal’s output is turned down. Cult Germanium Overdrive, on the other hand, works best when you whack your amp pretty hard. (That’s why it has no master volume control.) Cult probably isn’t a good choice if you want thick distortion at whisper volume.

Also, be sure to place Cult before any buffered devices in your effect chain. Placed post-buffer, the pedal can sound relatively thin and shrill. Cult almost always works best at or near the front of your chain. Fortunately, it sounds great driving downstream distortion pedals.
