IMPACT

Distortion and boost under separate switches.

IMPACT combines distortion, a dedicated boost function and three-band tone shaping in a dual-switch pedal. Its ECC83 vacuum-tube format and separate controls let you build a driven sound and bring the boost in when you need it, without reducing the whole setup to one gain adjustment.

  • Independent distortion and boost switches
  • High / mid / low tone controls
  • ECC83 vacuum-tube format

What makes IMPACT different

01

Build your core distortion sound

Set Level and Gain for the amount and output of distortion, then balance high, mid and low frequencies. This gives you separate controls for the drive character and its position in the rest of your guitar setup.

02

Bring in boost when needed

The dedicated Boost control and footswitch make boost a separate part of the performance. Set it while listening to your existing distortion sound, then use the switch when a phrase needs the change you have prepared.

03

See the state of each section

Separate distortion and boost indicators show which section is active. The wider enclosure keeps six controls available together and houses the vacuum-tube design, with a specified footprint of 125 × 100 mm.

Make it part of your setup

  1. Connect IMPACT with a compatible SSAUDIO AC2DC-series adapter and begin at low output volume.
  2. Set distortion using Level, Gain and the three EQ controls, listening through your normal amplifier setup.
  3. Adjust Boost separately and practise switching each section so the level changes suit the music.
