Dirty Deed

The Seymour Duncan Dirty Deed is an analog distortion pedal designed to provide a wide range of edgy distortion tones with a hint of fuzz. It is particularly voiced for hard rock, stoner rock, and classic metal genres. The pedal features a pair of MOSFET transistors that evoke tube-like harmonics and lush sustain, replicating the sound of dangerously pushed amplifiers.

The pedal's design includes a small footprint with a dual MOSFET circuit housed in a durable metal case. It offers a simple yet effective interface with controls for level, drive, bass, and treble. The active EQ provides +/-12dB boost or cut for both treble and bass, allowing users to dial in their ideal sound.

The Dirty Deed pedal operates on standard 9V to 18V DC power supplies, with the option to use 18 volts for increased saturation and compression. It is designed and assembled in Santa Barbara, California, and features 100% true bypass circuitry for transparent signal when bypassed.

The pedal's tone is described as organic and natural, capturing the character and responsiveness of a classic overdriven tube amplifier while incorporating elements of distortion, fuzz, and overdrive into a single wide-range pedal. It is suitable for a variety of playing styles, from classic rock to heavy metal, and offers versatility in shaping the desired distortion and overdrive tones.

The Dirty Deed pedal has received positive reviews for its simplicity, tonefulness, and ability to function as both a clean boost and a distortion pedal. It has been praised for its responsive EQ controls and its ability to deliver a range of tones from sparkling overdrive to rich, powerful hard rock distortion.

Overall, the Seymour Duncan Dirty Deed is a versatile distortion pedal designed to meet the needs of guitarists seeking a wide range of gritty and dynamic tones for various musical styles.
