Cut Through the Mix

  • Midrange Punch: A prominent midrange ensures your bass never gets lost in a dense mix.

  • Smooth Highs: We carefully voiced the top end to be smooth and musical. This eliminates the harsh, “fizzy” artifacts common in high-gain pedals.

  • Low-End Retention: The essential Blend control reintroduces your clean signal. It restores the fundamental punch that distortion usually thins out.

Intuitive Four-Knob Interface
The Amianto features a straightforward layout for quick stage adjustments:

  • Level: Sets the overall output volume.

  • Distortion: Adjusts the amount of saturation and sustain.

  • Tone: This wide-sweep EQ moves from dark and smooth to bright and cutting.

  • Blend: This crucial tool mixes your dry signal back in for maximum impact.
