The third transistor forms an output buffer that improves compatibility with other pedals, allowing the Delta III to be used with a wide variety of instruments and signal chains. Unlike many distortion boxes, the Delta III is not overly sensitive to where it is placed on your pedal board and can be used with active pickups, basses, and with buffered pedals. The voltage bias of the transistors has been adjusted for optimal response as the signal decays, allowing smooth distortion sounds even from very high or low signal inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe silicon transistors and provides a little harder clipping, and increased distortion available at the high gain settings.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Delta III has two separate EQ controls creating a huge tone shaping capability. The Lo Range EQ control allows you to fatten up the fuzz tone without getting too flubby. The Hi Range control will let you roll off some of the high end to prevent harshness. Proper adjustment of these two controls allows a very wide choice of sounds from full frequency response to a mid-range lead boost.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Delta III is very touch sensitive, cleaning up with reduced volume or pick attack, and more aggressively clipping as you play harder. It has also been designed to work with the fuzz compatible Mission VM-PRO and V-BOOST pedals in front, allowing you to create pedal controlled variable distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe gain knob controls the character of the distortion:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eOff position – The pedal behaves as a boost.

Engaging and bypassing the effect happens in a few milliseconds. The soft touch switch is much quieter than a typical latching switch, so no nasty clicks and pops when you turn the effect on and off. Digital switching is also much more reliable ensuring your pedal will continue to consistently switch for many years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDelta III features a red anodized aluminum chassis weighing just 12oz, top mounted jacks for easy pedalboard setup, four aluminum knobs for volume, gain, Lo EQ and Hi EQ, and a blue status LED.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMission Tri-Stage distortion ranging from boost to overdrive to fuzz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAll analog audio path\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIsolated digital bypass.
