Calling all sonic sculptors, your tools have arrived. And now it’s time to make new legends. Maestro, the legendary Founder of Effects, is back with an all-new line of pedals - the Maestro Original Collection - that are designed to help you Shape Your Sound.

In this video, Maestro’s Dinesh Lekhraj takes a look at and demonstrates the all-new Maestro Invader Distortion. Venturing into super hi-gain territories, the Invader is a high gain modern distortion with an aggressive sonic character. Having the ability to obtain a wide variety of distorted tones ranging from British crunch, metal, modern metal, and pushing into big thick fuzz inspired realms. If you are looking for a versatile easy to dial-in hi-gain distortion pedal that will push through the mix, has aggressive articulation, and an onboard noise gate to keep things quiet whether you are using humbuckers or single coils, this is the box for you.

The Invader Distortion is part of the Maestro Original Collection. This line of five new pedals is designed, voiced, and styled for the musician who is looking to shape their own unique sound. A tribute to the sound and style of the brand’s much-beloved classic models from the 60s and 70s, with modern features, expanded versatility, and advanced tone-tweaking capabilities.

ABOUT MAESTRO
Maestro, the founder of effects, created the world’s first fuzz pedal in 1962 - the Maestro Fuzz-Tone FZ-1. It set the entire guitar pedal world into motion and changed modern music forever. Maestro’s influence has shaped music as we know it, from The Rolling Stones to the Raconteurs, Pete Townshend to George Harrison, Clapton to Frampton, and the Foo Fighters to the Black Keys. Maestro has been there from the beginning to help artists achieve their signature sound. When Gibson brought Maestro into the world 60 years ago, no one could have predicted its trailblazing success. Now, after decades, Gibson has revived the brand, and a revitalized Maestro that leverages its iconic past and leans into an innovative future has returned to help a new generation of musicians shape their sound.
