Thanks for purchasing MTG: LA – a high-gain

tube distortion pedal inspired by the late ’80s

sounds of the Sunset Strip. MTG: LA uses a real

NOS 6205 preamp tube running at 150 plate

volts for authentic tube tone. You’ll ﬁnd familiar

Level, Gain, Tone and EQ controls, and a

footswitchable boost that can be conﬁgured to

add volume or even more gain.
