The Pantheon is a seriously impressive overdrive – it's all about retaining your guitar's voice while adding a touch of grit and dynamic response. It's perfect for players who want a transparent boost or a subtle overdrive that doesn’t muddy up their tone, especially those using higher-output pickups or needing a clean boost for solos.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Tumnus is a more saturated, amp-in-a-box style overdrive, while the Pantheon is more transparent and focused on boosting your existing tone without significant coloration.
It's more nuanced than a simple treble boost; it adds upper harmonics and 'air' to the sound, adding clarity and definition, particularly useful with darker amps or pickups.
Yes, the Pantheon can handle 9-18V, which can slightly increase headroom and perceived volume, but it's not a massive sonic shift – stick with 9V for the most transparent results.
