Skumstortion
Pro Tone Pedals was the first to offer hand built, high gain distortion pedals geared toward the metal player. Continueing that legacy, The Skumstortion delivers wicked sustain with tones that rival a stack of amps. From screaming leads to crushing rhythm work the Skumstortion can deliver the goods.
Music Radar recently reviewed the Skumstortion and had this to say: “The ProTone Skumstortion might beat the hell out of your amp’s distortion channel, but in the bearpit of the pedal market, it’s perhaps best described as a ‘solid choice’…” “...the most roadworthy (the hand-made US chassis is built like a Sherman tank), and certainly would therefore make a great first choice for rockers with gigs booked.”

May I just say that I have heard so many different kinds of distortion, out of so many different metal bands and when I hear amazing distortion tone, I try to imitate their sound, but any distortion pedal by MXR, Dunlop and Boss always sound cheap and way too crummy, but the skumstortion has the perfect ‘saturated’ distortion sound that I have always dreamed of having. Once I start getting a couple bucks off to the side, I am buying this for sure!

Very cool pedal and the outside casing looks great.
