Virtual effect plug-in, lets you match the tone of your favorite distortion pedal.

For over half a century, distortion has defined the sound of Rock and roll.

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.
