Description

The Acapulco Gold is a dirt-simple distortion Device modeled after the sound of a cranked vintage Model T amplifier, bringing the openness, clarity, and crunch that only a dimed tube amp can provide, at a fraction of the size, and without expensive maintenance costs!

Since tone is in the hands, we decided to keep the controls of the Acapulco Gold as simple as possible. The footswitch turns the pedal on and off, and the giant knob controls the output volume. That’s it. The rest is at your fingertips. Want less gain? Turn down your guitar’s volume knob. Need a darker rhythm tone? Roll back your guitar’s tone control. Easy, right?

Big Knob: The big knob sets the output level, sometimes known as Volume. PLEASE BE CAREFUL, the Acapulco Gold is extremely loud!

  • With your guitar’s volume all the way up, the Acapulco Gold roars like a wide-open Model T on the verge of explosion. At just-barely-backed-off, the Gold becomes a raunchy overdrive. At minimum guitar volume settings, the Acapulco Gold delivers a hazy, Nashville-sounding spank to your tone.

  • How about this? If your guitar has separate volume and tone controls for each pickup and a three-way selector switch, this little one-knob banger becomes a three-channel tone monster at the flick of your wrist!

I tried a lot of fuzz pedal and this is the one I like the best. Nice clean fuzz. Fast delivery, well packed.

I have another fuzz that always seemed a little too"bassy". The earthquaker gets you good range on treble and bass and any mix in between. Good crisp sound

The big knob controls relative output level, and that is your only control except for the volume knob on your guitar.
I like it!

This a ludicrous pedal. It has an absolutely absurd level of gain and you’re going to have to roll your volume knob way down or bleed from the ears. But I make every guitar player who swings by try this pedal; I can’t hope to properly describe how fun this thing is.
