The Moonshine V2 is a seriously versatile overdrive, offering a surprisingly wide range of tones thanks to that 9-18V conversion. It's a fantastic choice for guitarists and bassists who want a single pedal to cover a lot of ground, from light crunch to heavier distortion—especially those seeking a vintage-voiced, amp-in-a-box solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Higher voltages provide more headroom and clarity, preventing the low-end from getting muddy at higher gain settings, while lower voltages deliver a more saturated, vintage tone.
Absolutely! The Moonshine V2 is designed for both guitar and bass; the blend control is especially useful for bass to retain low-end definition alongside the overdrive.
The Blend control isn't a simple mix; it’s more nuanced, allowing for a more natural integration of the clean and distorted signals, preserving dynamics and responsiveness.
