MythFX Debuts Minotaur Distortion Pedal

September 12, 2008

The Minotaur is a versatile Analog distortion and overdrive pedal that can produce a mild crunch to a high gain distortion while preserving the dynamics of your playing. The multi-gain stage design has a high impedance input that preserves the harmonics of your natural guitar tone and brings clarity to your sound that is lost in many high gain pedals.

The controls include pre-boost, gain and master volume knobs, and a 3-way toggle switch that enables Silicon, Germanium, or Bypass clipping modes. Using a combination of pre-boost/gain/volume knob settings along with the three toggle switch positions gives you a wide range of usable tones. The Bypass clipping mode along with the Pre-boost gain stage overdriving the 2nd gain stage provides major distortion and volume without diode clipping. Additional Soft and Hard Clipping can be selected by the 3-way toggle switch. Switching between Hard and Soft clipping modes maintains a near constant volume so the master volume can be left alone when changing modes.

By incorporating premium components such as high tolerance film capacitors and professional engineering design practices, the Minotaur achieves high gain without excessive noise and a feature set that is unique among distortion pedals. The pedal requires a standard 9V DC, 2.1mm Negative tip power adapter (not included).
