Get the Animals As Leaders Signature Drive Tone!
SKU: PATHOS
When Animals As Leaders guitarist Tosin Abasi announced he was starting his own guitar brand, it sent the guitar world spinning. Now Abasi Guitars, with a little help from Brian Wampler, have unveiled the Pathos Overdrive; a cutting-edge distortion pedal that promises to elevate your tone to new heights.
Key Features:
- Crafted in the USA by Tosin Abasi in conjunction with Brian Wampler
- Designed to retain the feel of an American-style tube amp channel
- ‘Smooth’ and ‘edge’ voicings range from emotive crunch all the way to scorching, yet controlled distortion and sustain
- Encompass the functionality of several dirt boxes in one; be it a push to a driven amp, a full-on distortion channel in front of a clean amp, or a boost in front of a digital modeller.
- Powerful & musical EQ section
- Top-mounted jacks and true bypass switching
State of the art Distortion
Tosin Abasi’s sound is undeniably unique. Combining jazz harmony, shred chops and 8-string djent tendencies, he carved out his own genre with his trailblazing three-piece, Animals As Leaders. The Pathos Overdrive is an extension of this; versatile, responsive and like nothing you’ve ever heard before.
Don’t be fooled by the term overdrive; this stompbox goes above and beyond. The aim is to produce crystal-clear modern tone that ranges from silky smooth to red hot, while retaining the warmth and responsive feel of an American-style tube amp. Precision meets attitude.
Full Control
The Pathos boasts a simple interface that packs a punch. First up, the voicing switch allows you to choose between Smooth and Edge. The former gives you dynamics and harmonic detail, while the latter cuts straight through the mix with glorious clarity.
The volume and gain controls expand your palette; all-out distortion, front-end tube boost or saturating a modelling amp tone, you’ll find your sweet spot. Finally, with the help of Brian Wampler, the Pathos’ powerful EQ controls unlock the true potential of your tone. Carefully voiced to sound as musical as possible, you’ve got glassy top-end, commanding midrange and a hefty bass response on tap.
