DESCRIPTION

If you are a Justin Chancellor fan and are aiming at getting closer to his distorted tone, know he is the inspiration behind the existence of the ‘Ground & Pound’.

The Ground & Pound is our attempt at coming closer to Justin’s gritty, stick-out-of-the-mix, distorted sound.

This isn’t, by any means a ‘switch on -sound like Justin -magic pedal’, yet a way to get closer to his distorted tone by combining the two pedals, assigned to do that job, into one single package, saving precious board space. There is no longer the need to use that Turbo distortion pedal plus a separate EQ.

The Ground & Pound has been designed to simulate the two pedals that Justin uses for achieving his signature distorted tone and it successfully combines them into a single box. We’ve also added a blend control, labeled ‘Mix‘, which has a very musical compression ratio (2:1) on the clean signal. This mixes very well with the distorted sound and just adds to the overall playing experience.

The distortion has been carefully tailored and eq’d to have a full frequency spectrum, sounding full-bodied and cutthroat, and is very flexible due to its EQZ control.

The Ground & Pound, despite its original concept, is very versatile, when combining all the provided tools for tone shaping. It shines when using a pick and digging into the strings, at lighter gain settings, or it can smash your face in when using it at higher gain settings with both fingerstyle and pick.
