NotesThis is the original model which features the LOUD, BUTT, GRUNGE, and FACE knobs - later renamed. From their site: The Grunge is a hypercharged high-gain pre-amp so nasty and so heavy, it'll have your bandmates screaming for mercy. Even its distortion is distorted... This is the kind of high-gain distortion that allows notes to sustain into infinity, simulating the distortion of a guitar amplifier turned up to eleven - wait... no twelve -, clipping the signal and causing distortion. One of the advantages of using a pedal-type distortion like the FX69 is that big, heavy distortion can be produced at any amplifier volume or setting.
