Discreet circuitry and a flexible EQ mean mainline thrills and malleable tones in the latest drive from Akron’s finest.Zoar has been designed to create a customizable hi-fi and modern-sounding distortion, but with the ghosts of old-school circuitry to deliver a grind that is both familiar and delightfully unique.From defined sparkle and tightness of an overdrive to low-medium gain fuzz that’s perfect for drop-tuned guitars and basses, Zoar is designed to do it all. Zoar lets you dial in and control every nuance of your tone from jangly on-the-verge of break up to blowing the walls out heavy saturation.While having its roots in a very familiar past, the passive 3-band EQ has been finely tuned for modern tones. While this style of tone shaping seems simple on the surface, it is deceptively complex and highly interactive - yet surprisingly easy to instantly dial in dozens of mind-blowing sounds.Learn more here.EarthQuaker Devices Zoar Dynamic Audio Grinder Distortion Pedal
