Description by Dennis of Pro Tone Pedals: The final prototype candidate, the design I was pretty sure would be 'the one'… was exactly that! It nailed everything we wanted and needed from it! The notes, even at hyper speed jumped out of the amp each one ringing as clearly as the next. Massive amounts of sustain, crushing Marshall-ish distortion… smooth and silky tube overdrive when you dial the gain back, totally un-pedal-like in every aspect.
I've never really addressed the importance of having a player of Rusty's caliber test the pedal. Its actually quite simple- most distortion pedals don’t hold up well to high speed picking. They tend to mush up, or blur and you loose the attack of each note. There are very few people on this planet that can do what Jason did, and very few that can do what Rusty does. So I figured if this design can hold up to Rusty's furious picking speed it could withstand anything.

Notes from FuzzHugger...
An excellent choice for anyone looking for a great,
amp-like distortion. Maybe you can't afford a Marshall,
maybe you can...either way, this is an excellent pedal
that'll get you into that realm of tones.
Very amp-like distortion on one side, and a warm class A
boost on the other side that'll take you from boost to
overdrives! Lots of flexibility here...I think it'll find its way
into a lot of hands, whether they're into shredding or not.
The development of the pedal, and pedal itself, lead Pro
Tone to start development on a line of pedals that model
the tones of great amplifiers. Analog Amp Emulation?
Sounds freaking sweet...in concept and in reality.
