Announcing the Dyna Dist Overdrive Series, all-analog Overdrive and Distortion pedals that put the power

of tone in your control. With the revolutionary MAMP design these effect pedals respond more

to your playing creating natural, harmonically rich, dynamic overdrive and distortion. They provide a wide

range of tone variations from classic overdriven, smooth "tube-type" Overdrive to massively powerful,

harmonically saturated, clipped edge Distortion - with enough gain to push any amp, tubes or solid state,

balls-to-the-wall.

Q: What is the  MAMP design by itself, and what does it do for creating of Controlled Overdrive and 

Distortion effects with wide tone varieties?

A: Here is what Ilitch has to say about MAMP: "I was trying to escape from all of the traditional methods 
for overdriving and distorting of analog signals including Digital processing, Germanium or Silicon rectifying 
diodes, Tube Screamer style circuit etc. I was confident, that there was a way to get to a design that allows 
of controlling and manipulating the finest analog tone components of the electric guitar signal. The electrical 
signal produced by a musical instrument (especially by a multiple-strings instruments such as the electric 
guitar) is a very complex signal. The more components of that distinct creation are kept natural and 
unaltered, the more successful is the electronic design. The overdriving and distorting process is a very 
dangerous one – it is easy to loose most of the signal information. 
Finally, after more than 7 years of experimenting and testing, I came up with a solution that takes a good 
care for all of the important signal components and was capable to produce an intelligent and controlled 
Overdrive and Distortion effect - the MAMP design. MAMP strongly keeps the original signal information 
inside of the overdriven/distorted output signal. The order and the relations of this output signal components
are kept in the same way as they are originally related.  With MAMP we can create any style of Overdrive 
and Distortion including the legendary "TUBE style" and even more.

We know how the best overdriven guitar tone could be achieved: good speakers, more than 100W all tube

good amplifier, a nice guitar loaded with the right strings and pickups - All of these - all the way to the MAX

and of course - one good guitarist.

With the MAMP and Dyna Dist Overdrive series we offer that legendary sound either practicing in the bedroom

with 0.5W power or playing through 100W stacks on a stadium. All that with a good care for our lovely and

expensive “Mother Tube”, which we don’t need to “run to RED” anymore!"

Q: Why does MAMP design create superior Overdrive and Distortion tone?

A: Superior Overdrive and Distortion tone is the result of keeping the dynamics and components (harmonics,

time and phase relations) of the original signal intact. The electric guitar signal is a very natural and complex

signal. It contains many high order harmonic components, strongly related with the fundamental frequency.

The signal also contains a very complex natural phase shifting and time relationship of all its components.

In addition, the electric guitar signal has more than 80dB of dynamic range, which makes the task to overdrive

or distort such a signal even harder. Using any of the popular methods of "direct" distorting such as

with Op amps, Germanium transistors, Diodes, Digital signal processing, etc. results in the loss of the natural

and complex signal components, their time relations, phase shifting and dynamics. Some of these methods 

lose up to 90% of the original guitar signal, masking the original tone of the guitar. This is why some overdrive

or distortion pedals sound "muddy", making a guitar with great tone sound like a guitar with lousy tone. With

the new MAMP design, all signal components are presented in the overdriven/distorted output. The result

is an overdriven/distorted output signal that contains the original harmonic components from the instrument

with their natural dynamics, time relation and phase shifting. You hear the tone of the guitar - not a distorted,

generic tone. The Dina Dist Overdrive at its DYNA mode responds dynamically to your input signal: pick softer

and/or turn your guitar volume down and the tone will clean up; play more aggressive and/or increase guitar

volume and the pedal will respond by more overdrive. Because the MAMP design also keeps all of the

components of your original guitar signal with the distorted signal, your leads will stand out with more 

harmonic flavor, and your chords will have more character and clarity without getting muddy. While MAMP 

can be used with any guitar, its value of retaining the original signal is most apparent when used with guitars 

with great tone. 

With MAMP design, the guitar's unique, natural tone can still be heard. The all-analog MAMP design also means

you get superior tone and consistent performance at all volume levels.
