Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The 385 MKII Black is a seriously impressive overdrive, nailing that vintage tube amp vibe without the amp itself. The dual channels and 385+ boost offer a surprising amount of tonal flexibility, making it ideal for players seeking a warm, responsive drive for rock, blues, and even some heavier styles. It's a premium-priced pedal, but the sound and build quality largely justify the investment.
