Inspired and based on the Cornish GC-1, the Summoner offers active three-band EQ, tons of volume and a gain control that spans light grit through to saturated drive, depending on your amp platform. It's versatile and we know that its pedigree has already proven itself.

"The DevTech Audio ‘Summoner’ is a low to high gain overdrive based on the Pete Cornish GC-1. It has a wide gain range, which is perfect for live performance and recording. The pedal features two fixed clipping stages preceded by a variable gain preamp. A powerful three band active EQ ensures compatibility with any guitar and amplifier.

At low gain, the Summoner offers a smooth and transparent blues crunch, moving up to a higher gain soundscape reminiscent of the classic British 70’s rock era. Increasing gain takes you progressively through a cranked up tube amp sound to high saturation, but with extreme clarity and punch.

Fairly equal amounts of Bass, Mid and Treble cut and boost are available – with the neutral position of the three tone controls being 12 o’clock. There is also plenty of output signal headroom available to overdrive amp inputs if required. A second boost stage has been added after the tone circuit to compensate for any reduction in overall volume when below neutral point."
