The PARASITE is a touch-sensitive overdrive pedal built with hand-matched “smooth gain” JFETs, offering rich texture, dynamic response, and excellent clean-up using the guitar’s volume control. At lower gain settings, it works perfectly as an always-on pedal, subtly enhancing clean tones with organic breakup and warmth. As the drive is increased, the PARASITE delivers creamy, tube-like compression, harmonically rich saturation, and the feel of a driven tube amplifier. Additional tone-shaping controls allow precise sound sculpting, maintaining clarity even at full band volume, and making it well-suited for Blues Breaker, Dumble, and OCD-style overdrive tones.
