Champion Leccy The Dunsh Gain Stage Distortion Effect Pedal, Yellow

Oh boy, another Champion Leccy pedal! When we get one of these in, we know we're in for a unique treat. It’s no different with their new beast, The Dunsh, a gain stage effect pedal that does everything from crispy boosting to hairy distortion to overblown and gating fuzziness. That's just scratching the surface. Let's explore this dunsh.

This super special master distorter—The Dunsh, if you will—comes loaded with intuitive features to dial in your perfect, inspiring gritty sound. The "level" knob is your output—the very basis of proper gain staging, but don't be afraid to crank it. The "gain" knob controls the pedals gain, pushing the op amp stages and interacting with the "bias" control, manipulating the core transistor stage. As you turn the bias clockwise, the pedal starts to choke out, and full sending the parameter causes it to gate out. For further tone shaping, "B" (bass) and "T" (treble) EQ knobs are placed for cutting or boosting at the frequencies determined by the switches below each knob, with a lo, hi, and mid setting for each EQ-band. Sandwiched between these two switches is the 3-way "gate" switch, where down is off, middle is symmetric gating, and up is asymmetric gating—each active mode resulting in sputtery unique voicing that can be used for character or utility. Lastly, the namesake "dunsh" knob controls the level of the left footswitch, activating a circuit boost that gives your signal even more hair. More hair? That's an always "yes please"!

Plain and simple: it rips. Would we ever steer you wrong? No, we wouldn't, and neither would Champion Leccy. The only people would aren't going to like The Dunsh are your neighbors, but they can't complain if you can't hear them!
