Key Features
The Z.Vex SUPER-DUPER 2-IN-1 has two of Z.Vex's infamous but somewhat pleasant Super Hard-On pedals in one small box. Also, in this SUPER-DUPER 2-IN-1 is a Master Volume control that lets you use it as an overdrive/distortion with any output volume. This pedal is loud, be cautious whilst increasing the volume if you're near your Amp.

What Does This Pedal Sound Like?
This pedal gives you a total of four volume levels, anywhere from perfectly clean to ragingly over driven.
Level 1, your guitar is true-bypassed with both channels off.
Level 2, you turn on Channel 1.
Level 3, you turn off Channel 1 and turn on Channel 2. This is easy because you can put your foot on both switches at once and alternate between the two channels if you want.
Level 4, you turn on both channels.
There is no tone shaping in this pedal. Its two flawlessly linear high-gain high input-impedance preamps that can be cascaded, with a total gain that ranges from unity to 3600. Naturally, because there is no tone-shaping, your guitar just sounds like a really loud version of your guitar, and your amp sounds like a really big version of your amp, and if your normal tone is somewhat bloated, it will get very bloated when you use this pedal set to high gains.
This channel is a conventional Super Hard-On, which is often referred to as the SHO. Its gain control is on the far right, and it's LED is yellow. If you are familiar with the SHO, you'll know that it's a very sparkly sounding high input-impedance preamp with incredible headroom, wide-ranging gain (unity to 60 X), and an extremely high maximum volume. Channel one has no Master Volume control, but it's cascaded into Channel 2, which does...
This channel has the very same circuit as Channel 1, but the bleeder resistor on the output has been replaced with a Master Volume control, which allows the user to turn down the output volume even if the gain is set quite high. The knob on the left is the gain, and the middle knob is the Master Volume, and the LED is red. When both channels are on, or if only Channel 2 is on, the Master Volume is active. If you leave the Master wide open, you have two identical SHO pedals in one box, which are cascaded.
