This pedal, as the name may have already given away, is our attempt to replicate the not-quite-fuzz not-quite-overdrive distortion sound present in Vox’s early solid-state amps, like the UL730, Defiant, Conqueror and Super Beatle.

The Mr. Heath, despite being a mid-gain overdrive has been voiced to place emphasis on mids and high mids, allowing your leads to stand out no matter how busy the mix.

The result turned out to be something between overdrive and fuzz. Lucky for them, their most famous endorsers — The Beatles — happened to like it, and those amps are featured on several tracks from
The Mr. Heath is not an attempt to faithfully replicate the circuitry of those amps, but simply create a replica (or more precisely, an approximation) of that most unusual but useful distortion.
