Dusky Electronics Toasted

The Temperature knob sets the gain of the first amplification stage, controlling the amount of distortion generated in the pedal itself. On lower temperature settings, Toasted can be used as a transparent clean-ish boost with a hint of dirt, depending on how hot your guitar’s pickups are. At the maximum setting, you can get a classic ‘60s or ‘70s roar, like you just took an old tube amp and dimed the volume. The More knob controls output volume. Unity gain will usually be found around 11:00 or 12:00 on this knob, with higher settings easily pushing the input of most tube amps into natural tube overdrive. The Color knob adds more gain just in the treble frequencies you need to cut through a band mix and be heard while staying musical—never harsh or thin.
