Classic Inspiration, Modern Power.
The Motherload pays homage to two of the most iconic distortion and fuzz circuits ever made: the legendary Rat and Big Muff.
Housed in a single, compact enclosure, it combines these all-analog designs into one monster pedal that goes far beyond nostalgia—it’s the future of saturated tone!
The R (distortion) side covers everything from touch-sensitive overdrive to full-on distortion fury, with a Filter control to tame highs or cut through the mix.
The M (fuzz) side delivers harmonically rich, Muff-style fuzz with great string separation and near-infinite sustain. Its Tone knob provides classic Muff voicing, while the Voice knob lets you explore new tonal variations across Muff traditions.
Unlock the Magic with Link EQ!
Each circuit has its own EQ section, but the real magic happens when you engage the LINK EQ switch. With one press, the EQ controls are shared across both circuits, opening up a whole new world of sonic possibilities and tonal depth.
