The Tone that Re-Invented Rock ‘n’ Roll
All about Fuzz, Overdrive, and Distortion.
For over half a century, distortion has defined the sound of Rock and roll. From the first fuzz stompboxes to the latest high performance distortion racks – that unmistakable sound of an overdriven electric guitar has conquered millions generation after generation. With this heritage in mind, BIAS Pedal reinvents distortion in a whole new way, changing the way musicians perform, record, and create on the guitar.

Tone Match Any Distortion Pedal
Dive into your dream tone instantly by matching your favorite distortion, overdrive, fuzz, and boost pedals.
