The Peacemaker is a dual boost unit with two knobs, one labeled pre and the other post. This pedal uses two successive and differnetly voiced gain stages to acheive insane amounts of distortion or clean boost. The user can choose to place the Pre knob wherever they like (the lower the level, the cleaner the sound) and drive the amp as hard as they like with the Post knob. This pedal gives the user flexibility and very different tones than have been heard from any mainstream distortion pedal. The user should be very careful with the post knob as this pedal can get VERY loud!
