Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The Special Cranker is a seriously useful little boost/overdrive. It's got a really sweet, responsive feel and those two clipping options give you a surprising amount of tonal flexibility. This is perfect for players wanting to add some grit and warmth to their amp without completely changing its character – think blues, indie, and classic rock tones.
