The Dirtdog is a unique & musical overdrive designed to inspire your creative process. When Joey Landreth recorded his album Dog Ear , he built a small, quirky, vintage-inspired amp which he used for many of the tones. He needed a reliable way to get that sound into his rig & take it on the road & we were happy to help. The Dirtdog brings the analog soul you hear in Joey's Juno-winning music to your guitar tone. Whether you're using it to sweeten your favorite clean sound or pushing it to its limits for a fat lead tone, the Dirtdog's thick mids & organic breakup will take you back in time.

Capturing The Magic

Joey Landreth found inspiration in a quirky oldschool amp he built himself when recording The Bros. Landreth album Dog Ear. It sounded perfect for a wide range of crunch tones, but a dimed small amp isn't exactly road-worthy.  The Dirtdog lets you give any amp the touch-sensitive feel & rich harmonics of vintage gear while drawing from Joey's modern-classic rootsy & eclectic recorded sound. 

Vintage Breakup

Part of what makes small vintage amps great is the unique way they distort when pushed to their limits. When Joey asked us to capture that lightning in a bottle, we were excited for the challenge. The Dirtdog distills the oldschool bloom & sag that sound equally musical from barely distorted all the way up to 'about-to-explode' into a compact & reliable all-analog pedal.

The Technical Details

The Dirtdog is an amp-like overdrive with a creamy three-dimensional midrange. Try it at low Gain settings with Bite turned up for chimey edge of breakup, or with Level dimed for an out-of-control 'amp-on-10' sound. The way you combine the Gain & Level knobs will fundamentally shape the tone of your Dirtdog as it pushes your amp differently.

More Than Tone

The Bite knob handles the pedal's treble response, so what does Tone knob do? Tone broadly shifts the midrange voice of the pedal from a snarlier, punchier sound to the right to a chewier, scooped sound to the left. The Dirtdog's controls are interactive, making it useful for many applications because each knob's position substantially affects the response of the others.
