Greetings, dungeon masters! Stoke the fires in the seventh circle of tone with the Bellows! This little two-knobber is a nod to the non-master volume amps of yesteryear and the fiery tones that come only from diming these vintage behemoths and letting 'er rip until the tubes catch fire. For your safety, and the safety of others, the Bellows packs these tones into a compact Dirt Device without any of the pyrotechnics.

The Bellows isnÕt based on anything in particular, but it straddles the line between amp-like grit and fuzzy saturation, with a bunch of useful distorted places in between, capturing nearly every era of Rock-and-Roll in a box. If I were you (and itÕs a good thing IÕm not) IÕd resist the usual urge to dime it right away, as the BellowsÕ character changes dramatically based on where the ÒDriveÓ is set.

Our simple, scorched-earth approach to design leaves the full frequency response of your instrument intact, which makes the Bellows a great bass overdrive, and guarantees that what goes into the Bellows is what comes out, only hotter. On lower "Drive" settings, you'll find responsive and dynamic amp-like breakup. Dime it, and you'll hear full-on thermonuclear saturation. Just remember, where there's smoke, there's fire.

Each and every Bellows is true-bypass and built one-at-a-time by a bunch of bearded dudes and a couple ladies in the comedic drama section of Akron, Ohio, USA Ð the heart of it all! The Bellows uses silent relay-based soft touch switching. Audio will not pass without power.
