Based on the unbeatable sounds of a certain long-bearded Texas blues legend, the El Hombre delivers a stunning array of sounds form a deceptively simple setup.

Features We Love:

Bite Control

The El Hombre's Bite Control lets you adjust the type of distortion on offer. Turning the control down tones things back into a creamy, smooth Dumble-like sound, while cranking it up evokes a big ol' valve amp running full tilt!

Simple, Yet Powerful

Three controls; Bite, Gain and Volume. That's it! Yet, with some experimentation and finding the right balance, there's a huge amount of tones on offer here, taking you all the way from clear, defined Larry Carlton/Robben Ford type blues sounds, to of course the unmistakable raucous tones of Mr. B. Gibbons himself.

Touch Sensitive

The nuances don't stop there though. The El Hombre is super sensitive to input level, so everything from your pick dynamics, to guitar volume, to which guitar you're using at the time, impart a huge difference to the sound, making this one seriously versatile pedal!
