The Diktator MKII pays homage to its predecessor, the original Diktator unit, which we proudly designed a decade ago. We embarked on a complete redesign journey, deconstructing the original design while maintaining its tonal character.Every aspect of the Diktator MKII was meticulously reimagined. We enhanced the input and output FET buffer stages to increase dynamic responsiveness. The drive sections were transformed into a more flexible tube amp-style overdrive, elevating the original character to new heights.However, we didn't stop there. We fine-tuned the active tone control for precise adjustments across the frequency spectrum. The post-drive presence control also underwent a complete redesign to ensure compatibility with various guitar amps.The Diktator MKII boasts impressive features, including enhanced filtering circuitry, smart PCB routing, audiophile-grade components, Neutrik® jack sockets, and a True Bypass switching system.The result is the Diktator MKII, a pedal that fully lives up to its name. It embodies the spirit of its predecessor while embracing new sonic possibilities. The Diktator MKII is poised to dominate the pedalboard, providing musicians with an exceptional two-channel drive pedal to shape their tone and unlock new realms of musical expression. FEATURES: DETONATOR CHANNELis a highly flexible drive ranging from nearly clean and subtle crunch all the way to a thick saturated overdrive with a rich, full-bodied sound. Its dual toggle switches enable precise control over tonal and compression characteristics, while the two-band active tone control allows for accurate adjustments across the entire frequency range. A standout feature is the Dynamic-O-Meter, providing a visual representation of how the pedal responds dynamically to your playing.Levelcontrols your Diktator MKII's output volume with precision.
