The Philosopher's Twin Germanium also gives you an extra footswitch that lets you independently toggle its smooth diode-clipping "Grit" distortion, so you can instantly take your tone from ultra-clean compression to screaming overdrive.

Sustain and overdrive go together like peanut butter and jelly. That's why Pigtronix built a variable "Grit" control into their Philosopher's Twin Germanium. Granted, it's not your high-gain, screaming-lead-style overdrive, but it gives you enough texture to add that extra bit of "umph" to your amp. On the compression side, the Philosopher's Twin Germanium gives you near-infinite sustain. We're talking about notes that can literally ring on for over a minute. And here's the coolest part - it's totally noise free. In fact, at a demo here at Sweetwater, we got the hear this sustain in action when David Koltai (one of the founders of Pigtronix) added a ridiculous amount of sustain to a Tele. Not only did the guitar (a traditional model loaded with single coil pickups) not feedback, its tone remained absolutely pristine.

Here's a great twist that the Philosopher's Twin Germanium introduces to the original Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone guitar pedal: a germanium-transistor-based signal path. This gives its smooth diode-clipping distortion an extra helping of bite and growl. What's more, Pigtronix added an independent Grit control switch to the Philosopher's Twin Germanium. That means you can use the Philosopher's Twin Germanium purely as a clean compressor (perfect for everything from chicken pickin' to jazz), and then stomp on the grit control to boost your tone into solo-worthy overdrive.

One other cool thing about the Philosopher's Twin Germanium is that you'll only find this amazing guitar pedal at Sweetwater. That's right, it's a true custom Pigtronix pedal designed to meet the specific needs of some of Sweetwater's most demanding guitar players. Try one out for yourself, and you'll know just how special this Sweetwater Exclusive pedal really is.
