Sound awesome!!

Does it work fine with Lava solderless plug?

I really like the offset thing... sound almost like a feedback loop.

Thanks Sylnau!

Er, what's a Lava solderless plug?
It works with 1/4" jackplugs...

Yeah that offset thing is pretty tasty... Adds extra 'hair' to the tone. It's my favourite distortion circuit...

The 'plug' bit of that looks like a regular mono 1/4" one - so that should work fine.

The El Distorto is very loud! To sound like 'unity gain' - with drive up high - I have the volume control on about 9 o'clock (its travel can go round to 5 o'clock full volume).

Yeah - that was nice! Quite a small pedal rack too...

I've never heard Elwood talk before!
