The desire to create a double overdrive for guitar came to me after a meeting with the talented musician Zacharie Defaut, who gave me a demonstration of the possibilities offered by the Duellist of King Tone Guitar. Duellist of King Tone Guitar.
Being able to put two overdrives of very similar tones in series is ideal for a live performer. One overdrive for the verse/chorus passages (with the possibility to subtly vary the sound by selecting the first or second overdrive of the pedal) and the cumulative power of two overdrives for breaks and solos
The existing pedals of the same type (Duellist, King of Tone, ...) are variations of the Tube Screamer or the Marshall BluesBreaker. I chose to use a different overdrive and to add the possibility to vary the clipping for more versatility. King of Tone...) include variations of the Tube Screamer or the Marshall BluesBreaker.

The name Gang D. comes from the stereo "dual gang" knobs, which the use of two similar effects made me think of. It is a pedal with two almost identical overdrives characterized by their transparency, which respects all the nuances of the guitarist's playing. The guitar tones are preserved, with the addition of a Tweed-like growl when the gain is increased. The result is very Rock'n'roll!
