1980's Guyatone PS-001 Distortion

This 1980s Guyatone PS-001 Distortion is a compact Japanese-made pedal offering classic vintage distortion with smooth, responsive tone. Known for its warm midrange and clear attack, the PS-001 delivers everything from mild crunch to full-bodied saturation, making it a versatile choice for rock, blues, and early metal tones. Loosely based around the MXR Distortion+ circuit, its simple three-knob layout keeps sound shaping easy, while the sturdy, road-ready design ensures lasting reliability, while the 'Brilliance' knob offers a unique flavour of tone control. This used example captures the charm and character of ‘80s Japanese engineering, offering a distinct alternative to mainstream distortion pedals.

This pedal does not include its original box, and runs on a standard 9V DC Boss-type power supply.
