A Double Shot of Overdrive!

Looking for a new twist, and sound, in distortion/overdrive pedals? The Red Witch Famulus pedal is exactly what you have been looking for. This boutique overdrive pedal utilizes two separate circuits to give you blendable and mixable tones, it's like having two pedals in one. Mix them together to generate any overdrive tone you want from sweet and subtle to dark and foreboding. You'll love the tones and vibe you can coax from this pedal. Create the overdrive of your dreams with the Red Witch Famulus distortion/overdrive pedal!

Red Witch Famulus Distortion/Overdrive Guitar Pedal at a Glance:
  • Create new depths of distortion by layering overdrives
  • Internal control for additional customization
  • True-bypass design for pure tone
Create new depths of distortion by layering overdrives

The Red Witch Famulus pedal lets you create killer overdrive sounds by combining two separate gain circuits. Gain A has a definite bite and crunch to it, and can go from almost clean to high-gain distortion. Gain B has a similar gain structure but is voiced with a pronounced midrange punch. The Alchemy control lets you blend these two gain circuits together to create unique and limitless sounds. Stack a cleaner sound with a high-gain tone for great punch and definition, or combine two milder gain settings for smoking overdrive. The only limit of the Red Witch Famulus is your imagination.

Internal control for additional customization

Like many Red Witch guitar effects pedals, the Famulus has a hidden secret inside. Pop the case open (it's easy, and encouraged by Red Witch), and there's an internal slide that lets you adjust the gain of the Famulus. Adjusting this control changes the gain of Gain A, letting you match the gain of Gain B. It's an innovative way to fine-tune your Red Witch Famulus effect to suit whatever style you're going for.

True-bypass design for pure tone

When not in use, the Red Witch Famulus's true bypass design takes it completely out of your signal chain. It doesn't run your signal through the entire pedal, but directly from the input to the output. This keeps your signal pure, and your precious tone unaffected. The Red Witch Famulus is awesome even when it is turned off!

Red Witch Famulus Distortion/Overdrive Guitar Pedal Features:
  • Dual distortion/overdrive circuits in a single pedal
  • Combine both overdrives at once for subtle or over-the-top distortion
  • Internal control to boost the input and slightly change the tonal character
  • True bypass design to keep your signal intact when not in use
Create amazing layered overdrive sounds with the Red Witch Famulus!
