Abasi Concepts Pathos Distortion Pedal
Up for grabs is an Abasi Concepts Pathos distortion pedal. Designed as a collaboration between Tosin Abasi and pedal builder Brian Wampler, this pedal delivers the rich, dynamic feel of an American-style tube amp channel directly to your board. While it was built with modern, articulate playing in mind, its exceptionally responsive EQ makes it a remarkably versatile tool for any genre—from an emotive, pushed indie crunch to scorching lead sustain.
Condition
-
Status: Used, in excellent condition. The pedal has been extremely well cared for, functions flawlessly, and sounds phenomenal. All pots turn smoothly, and the soft-touch footswitch works perfectly.
Key Features
-
Dual Voicings: Features a toggle switch between "Smooth" (for fluid, classic distortion and thick rhythm tones) and "Edge" (for modern, aggressive, and biting high-gain).
-
Studio-Grade EQ: The musically tuned 3-band EQ (Bass, Mid, Treble) lets you precisely sculpt your tone to cut through a mix without sounding overly fizzy or losing your low-end.
-
Amp-in-a-Box Versatility: Works brilliantly as a full distortion channel in front of a clean amp, a tight boost to push a driven amp into saturation, or a front-end drive for a digital modeler.
-
Pedalboard Friendly: Top-mounted jacks save precious real estate on your board, while the relay-based true-bypass ensures your clean signal remains completely unaffected when disengaged.
