Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The Unobtanium is a seriously versatile overdrive pedal, essentially giving you two distinct preamps in one box. It’s a great choice for players wanting a wide range of tones, from warm, crunchy rhythm to searing lead, especially those who like to experiment with amp voicings and serial effects. If you’re looking for a premium-priced, flexible overdrive solution and don't mind a bit of a learning curve, this is worth a serious look.
