HOT SAKÉ® - overdrive/distortion

Once your Hot Sake ships, you'll receive your tracking information.

Brewed to perfection, TWA Hot Saké™ will torch your taste buds and impart an intense body-buzz of tonal intoxication!

TWA has harvested a selection of the finest vintage Japanese Distortion pedals and blended them with a batch of premium modern ingredients to create Hot Saké™’s unique, full-bodied bouquet.

Boiling over the divide between distortion and overdrive, Hot Saké™ packs a powerful punch, yet finishes clean and crisp.

A classic Low-Boost/Hi-Boost Tone control lays down Hot Saké™’s overall sonic palette, while a dedicated Mids knob allows for precise sculpting of the pedal’s tonal flavor.

The dedicated Low Boost switch with selectable frequency center adds an incredible kick that turns Hot Sake™ into a Sake Bomb, creating super-thick yet articulate, chest-thumping modern crunch.

Imagine tones ranging from smooth, 808-style drives with no mid-hump to chunky, Muff-like fuzz with dynamics & clarity, and you’ll have an inkling of just what this little black box can do.

Hot Saké™’s 180-proof Level control provides an unprecedented degree of boost that can burn through the loudest of bands.  Crank it up to elicit scorching harmonic feedback even at room-level amp volumes.

The perfectly-tuned Drive control offers up distinctly amp-like tones, covering a broad spectrum of saturated sounds from slight tube break-up to complete amp break-down.

Incredibly dynamic, rolling back your Guitar’s volume will adjust Hot Saké™’s temperature to taste, covering every flavor of dirt from BB King Smoothness to Sonic Youth sludge.

All this muscle is kept tight & quiet by an audiophile-quality TLO72 op-amp that retains note clarity and definition at any control setting.

If other drives have left you thirsting for more, pour yourself a cup of Hot Saké™ and let the good times Rock & Roll – Kanpei!!!
