It features two gain modes with a Power Toggle switch, providing control over compression and harmonics.

The primary controls include Tone, Drive, Level, and Power Toggle. The pedal is Keeley Engineered and features Ripe Tide Gain. It is 9V compatible (battery not included) and is designed to emulate the coveted Plexi tone, offering a wide range of 1960s Plexi Amp Tone.
