Legendary Vintage Distortion: The Indio DS 6 True Bypass Distortion Guitar Effect Pedal faithfully reproduces the tone of legendary distortion pedals of the mid to late 70s and early 80s, which were mostly characterized by their simple design and ample available gain. Despite their over the top potential, these distortion pedals are versatile, as they can be run at every gain stage with equally awesome results. The Indio DS 6 True Bypass Distortion Guitar Effect Pedal uses comparable, yet modern components (operational amplifiers and chips) to replicate the character that made the originals the best vintage distortion pedals ever made.
Versatile Power: Indio true bypass guitar effect pedals can be powered either by a 9V battery or an external power supply, making them both versatile and venue/scenario proof. Use the 611690 Stage Right 9V Power Supply for Guitar Pedals (available separately) when playing at home, in your practice space, or when power is easily accessible at the venue. Alternatively, you can use a 9V battery to be free from extra cables or when power outlets aren't accessible.
Faithfully recreated the design and vintage tone of the mid‑to‑late 70s distortion pedal.
True Bypass Design and Full Metal Construction: Unlike most inexpensive guitar pedals, Indio pedals feature a true bypass design, keeping your tone pristine when not engaged. Other boutique guitar pedals featuring a true bypass design will cost several times more, while using the same components inside every Indio pedal. Additionally, Indio true bypass guitar effects feature full metal construction, ensuring that they can withstand the rigors of the road. The full size housing provides enough separation on your board, reducing the crowding issues associated with inexpensive mini pedals.
Powered by 9V battery or external power adapter.

The Gain switch offers three distinct choices. In the middle gives you the “stock” gain for this pedal. The left position offers a firm, yet smooth boost in gain, whereas the right delivers an insane level of creamy distortion.
Turn the distortion control all the way down for a deep but powerful gain booster. Crank it up and you will find rich harmonic overtones and a throaty, fuzz-like distortion.
The Voice switch subtly alters the compression and clipping of this pedal. It tightens the distortion to be more manageable with greater levels of gain, while rolling back some of the fuzz qualities, to deliver a modern, high gain distortion.
Turn the filter control counter-clockwise to cut straight through the mix with precision and high-frequency attack that lets your tone soar with absolute clarity. Turn it clockwise to filter the top end, for a warm, buttery, yet clear tone.

Customer Reviews

Features

The tone of the KHDK Dark Blood distortion effects pedal is tube-like and mid-heavy with added high gain
Richly articulate and deep, Dark Blood can provide the main tone into your clean amp and is ideal as a fly rig and a backup to an amp or modeling rig
With its high gain and aggressive, uncompromising dynamics, this is the ultimate pedal for gain-freaks, designed both for palm-muting riffs and searing, high-gain solos
Its unique power is its distinctly amp-like sound
Gain controls the gain of the circuit. A lower setting creates a pick-sensitive tone with excellent dynamics, while a higher setting brings a massively overdriven tone. Doom controls the pre-distortion equalization which determines the amount of low-end grunt present in your tone. This control moves from a tight bass to a long sustain, giving you a liquid, solo-ready tone. Volume sets the output volume of the pedal. Treble control is a passive, natural sounding low-pass filter. It cuts

A Guide to Choosing the Right distortion pedals

Does pop punk use distortion?

Pop-punk Guitar Pedals A distortion or overdrive pedal is the only true must-have to get an aggressive pop-punk tone.

How do you get a Telecaster to sound like a Les Paul?

The Quick Answer. You can make a Telecaster sound more like a Les Paul, to a certain extent, by increasing the sustain, reducing the treble frequencies and eliminating the background noise associated with Tele's.

Is the DS-1 a good pedal?

In Conclusion… This is one of the finest pedals available on the market in general, and might well be the best distortion pedal money can buy. Considering it is so affordable, it is very easy to use and full of great tone.

How do you get the cleanest sound on a guitar?

To get a pristine, clean tone, you need to find an amp that provides good headroom. This is the amount of space between your guitar's signal and the start of distortion. Too little headroom and your amp will start to distort early. Too much will make it difficult to get any distortion at all.

How does Korn get their sound?

the short answer is detune your strings, (Korn uses lots of lower tunings) and scoop out your sound w/ an EQ. I believe he uses a setuop where his highs & mid sare emphasized and lows are reduced.
