- Switching: The Cranium features both momentary and latching switching, allowing users to temporarily engage an effect by holding down one of the footswitches and then releasing it to return to normal operation.

- Additional Features:
- Top-mounted in/out jacks for convenient pedalboard placement

The signature diode rotary switch allows for experimentation with different diodes to create a unique flavor of distortion. Additionally, the Blast footswitch ramps the drive all the way up and activates a second volume control for quick switching between low and high-gain sounds.

The Cranium offers a versatile and modern take on a classic distortion circuit, making it suitable for a wide range of musical styles and applications.
