Studio-crafted power meets pedalboard portability.
Plug in the Gainlord and you’re tapping into the golden era of ’60s-to-’80s British hard-rock tone, wrapped in a rugged, compact format that fits perfectly into modern pedal-centric rigs.
Built on real high-voltage tube circuitry (12AX7/ECC83) the Gainlord delivers the feel, harmonic richness and touch-sensitive response of classic stacks — without needing a full-size amp. With dual channels that span from open-edge grit to tight, aggressive high-gain, this pedal gives you broad tonal freedom to sculpt your sound.
Use the Gainlord in front of an amp, into a power amp or straight into a cab simulator, and bring the sonic signature of classic British hard rock into any modern rig.
