..and the MkII is better than ever, with: Clipping = Distortion, and for many years we’ve only been offered two clipping choices: Soft-Clipped or Hard-Clipped. Soft-Clipped pedals include Tube Screamers, Fulldrive2, OD-1, Zendrive, etc, which get their distortion by using diodes placed in the feedback loop of their Opamp. This type of clipping is generally favored by the folks wanting a cleaner, more compressed, low-to-medium gained Overdrive sound.
