TC Electronics Grand Magus TUBE-LIKE Distortion Electric guitar FX Pedal

Backstage Pass – All Access

You’re probably well-versed in the controls of super-saturators like Grand Magus Distortion. But just for the fun of it, and because my boss told me to do this (all work and no play makes Homer go something something…), let’s just go through the ins and outs real quick!

Rock Or Bust

You like gain, right? Good, so do we. And luckily Grand Magus packs a punch! Set it low for an edge-of-breakup crunch or max it and revel in its earthshakingly awesome distortion tone.

The Next Level

Okay, we trust you know what this one does. Rock should be loud, so naturally you want this one well past 12 o’clock. Pro-Tip: When the neighbors start to complain, you know you’ve found the sweet spot.

Cut Through

Go left to cut treble, go right to boost it. From dark old-school dirt tones to crisp and modern distortion. You define the era you wanna rock in with this knob.
