Capable of very heavy distortion, the SLOIKA (like all Wolftone pedals) is extremely musical and very responsive to a player‰۪s dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eSLOIKA is designed to create a transparent distortion allowing you to retain the sound of your guitar and amp. This pedal will not mask your equipment‰۪s tone. Single or humbucking pickups are still clearly heard and articulated and you can easily modulate between light or heavy distortion using picking dynamics. Very sensitive to input levels, SLOIKA allows you to control the amount of distortion from your guitar. Want a clean sound? Just back off the guitar‰۪s volume. Searing distortion is just a matter of playing harder or cranking the guitar volume. And SLOIKA enables a seamless transition from distortion into clean when you play a full chord and let it sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eThe SLOIKA is a combination of 8 parallel distortion bands. The interaction between the \u003cstrong\u003eDRIVE\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSATURATE\u003c\/strong\u003e settings determines how these bands effect your sound. To really hear the strengths of this pedal, use a loud, clean amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eThe\u003cstrong\u003e DRIVE\u003c\/strong\u003e amount determines how hot the 8 bands are, and your volume and dynamics control the distortion.\u003cbr\u003eWhen the \u003cstrong\u003eDRIVE\u003c\/strong\u003e is at a low setting, the first band is at 100% gain, and the subsequent bands have progressively less gain, allowing maximum reactive distortion through dynamics.\u003cbr\u003eAt a mid \u003cstrong\u003eDRIVE\u003c\/strong\u003e setting, the first band is at 100% gain, and the remaining 7 bands have decreasing gain stages down to about 90% for the lowest band.\u003cbr\u003eAt max \u003cstrong\u003eDRIVE\u003c\/strong\u003e setting, all bands are at 100% gain, giving you a hard wall of distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eWhen \u003cstrong\u003eSATURATE\u003c\/strong\u003e is set low, the lowest bands will drop out of distortion earlier, allowing the guitar to become clean quicker.\u003cbr\u003eWith \u003cstrong\u003eSATURATE\u003c\/strong\u003e at a higher setting, the distortion is clear and biting.\u003cbr\u003eTurning \u003cstrong\u003eSATURATE\u003c\/strong\u003e all the way up creates a softer attack with a full-on distortion feel, and a much longer distortion sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eSuper creamy and monstrous low end is SLOIKA on bass guitar!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eAnother innovative WOLFTONE pedal from the mind of Todd Wolfgram!\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cul\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e\r\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e•ÈÀ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"line-height: 1.2; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eWEIGHT:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e .64 lbs\u003c\/span\u003e\r\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e\r\u003cstrong style=\"line-height: 1.2; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eDIMENSIONS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e 5.5 x 3.25 x 2.5 in\u003c\/span\u003e\r\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Malekko Heavy industry","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":35725086490773,"sku":"RGS-MHI-SLOIKA","price":159.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0459\/0616\/5909\/products\/url_2c3ed61d-afa5-4a25-889b-baa2666b436b.jpg?v=1597400550","url":"https:\/\/rugandhome69-com.myshopify.com\/products\/malekko-heavy-industry-sloika","provider":"rugandhome69.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
