Abunai 2
The Abunai 2 by Tonefreak is an overdrive pedal designed to deliver versatile
and high-quality overdrive tones. It features a three-way mini-toggle switch
that controls three different clipping variations, providing a wide range of
distorted tones. The first variation uses symmetrical clipping with a pair of
LEDs, the second uses three silicon diodes in an asymmetrical configuration,
and the third position has no clipping at all. This allows for flexibility and
a variety of overdriven tones.
The pedal is equipped with controls for Drive, Tone, and Level, allowing users
to adjust the parameters to achieve their desired overdrive character. It also
features true bypass switching, Neutrik jacks, teflon-coated silver-stranded
wire, mil-spec PCB, metal film resistors, and metal film capacitors. The
construction is 100% hand-assembled, ensuring high build quality.
The Abunai 2 pedal has been praised for its ability to deliver warm, creamy,
and full-sounding overdrive, with the different clipping configurations
offering distinct tonal characteristics. The pedal is suitable for a variety
of playing styles and can be used to add subtle overdrive to a clean tone or
to achieve high-gain tones.
Overall, the Abunai 2 is lauded for its versatility, ease of use, and the wide
range of overdriven tones it offers, making it a valuable addition to any
guitarist's arsenal.
