Product Description

Maestro have been shaping innovation and quality in tone since 1962. With a strong legacy and reputation for cutting edge and unique pedals, Maestro is THE founder of guitar effects and the originator of Rock and Roll! The all new Original Collection speaks directly to its DNA while catering to the needs of today's players with updated, innovative versions of classic effects. Shape your sound with Maestro!

The Maestro Invader is an all-analogue, modern high gain distortion pedal with an aggressive sonic character that is rich in harmonic content.  Featuring a classic 3-knob control setup, the Invader offers intuitive control over gain, tone, and output level. The level control has plenty of headroom which means you can push it well beyond unity gain. By pushing the volume, the Invader can be used as a boost to hit the front end of your amp harder, resulting in more grit and a tighter sound. 

The Invader also features an intuitive noise gate via a toggle switch on the top panel. An internally mounted trim pot allows for adjustments to the level of the noise gate’s threshold. By engaging the noise gate, background noise and amp hiss will be kept to a minimum when using higher gain settings.
