Gibson Brands is excited to re-introduce to the world Maestro Pedals.
Shaping innovation and quality in tone since 1962, Maestro is the Founder of Effects beginning with the very first commercially available distortion pedal and originator of rock and roll with the iconic FZ-1 Fuzz-Tone. With a strong legacy and reputation for cutting edge and unique pedals, Maestro is back to offer new designs based on classic effects with added functionality and an eye-catching vibe. Now it’s time to Shape your Sound with Maestro.
Inspired by the overdriven tones of some of the world's most cherished vintage tube amps, the Ranger is a modern, all-analog overdrive pedal featuring a Mode toggle switch that provides two different tonalities; a warm, expressive, amp-like overdrive and a second tonality that's slightly cleaner and exceptionally touch-sensitive; it blends in some of the clean signal and is a great choice for use as an "always-on" effect that can be controlled with your pick attack and your guitar's volume control. The Ranger's classic 3-knob layout provides intuitive adjustment of Gain (amount of overdrive), Tone, and output Level, with plenty of volume on tap to go well beyond unity gain. You can easily use the Ranger Overdrive as a boost to hit the input of your tube amp harder for even more grit and dirt. The true bypass footswitch triggers the LED lights in the bugles in the Maestro logo when it's on, so you'll always know when the effect is active.
