Overview

100% analog distortion with digital control functions and effect parameter memory.

The Distortion Machine DM-3 has 4 banks, each with 4 programmable patches and 8 variable parameters, from slight transparent overdrive to mighty heavy metal distortion. Two multi-functional footswitches allow you to move quickly between banks, patches, and to bypass. Foot switches can be customized to your own functions to make a live performance go like clockwork.

All factory tone settings can be copied from one patch to another, edited and stored to any patch in any bank”with a handy undo function, just in case. The Distortion Machine DM-3's user-friendly interface is easy to master.

Multicolored led indicators provide easy monitoring of the foot pedal's current status. They reflect all functions and parameter values from bank and patch number to battery condition. Output can be connected either to a mixer line input or guitar amp. Rugged construction.
