Seymour Duncan’s Palladium Gain Stage effects pedal authentically replicates a high-gain tube amp. Palladium features three gain stages: a gain stage to control the overall saturation, a resonance control for low-frequency gain shaping and a boost control that adds overdrive to the beginning of the signal path. Those three gain stage allow for a versatile range of tones–from classic rock at lower settings to modern metal at higher gain settings–for 110 decibels for total gain. The pedal also offers a comprehensive EQ, with bass, treble, presence and sweepable midrange-frequency control.
