significant improvements in effects pedals for guitar. HardWire pedals provide
a suite of well-known effects, each with superior tone and control. But these
pedals go above and beyond their peers to provide such distinguishing features as true bypass, high voltage operation, and true stereo processing making them essential additions to the signal chain of players who know about
sound quality and demand the utmost in performance.
