Thanks for purchasing MTG: LA – a high-gain
tube distortion pedal inspired by the late ’80s
sounds of the Sunset Strip. MTG: LA uses a real
NOS 6205 preamp tube running at 150 plate
volts for authentic tube tone. You’ll find familiar
Level, Gain, Tone and EQ controls, and a
footswitchable boost that can be configured to
add volume or even more gain.
