Dial the DigiTech HardWire CM-2 Tube Overdrive sound in on your own rig
Two-voice overdrive from DigiTech's rugged HardWire line: one setting gives a smooth, classic mid-pushed overdrive in Tube Screamer territory, the other flips to a hotter, hot-rodded higher-gain circuit. Runs at a higher internal voltage than most stompboxes for extra headroom, so it copes with hot pickups and sits well in an effects loop. Metal chassis with the Stomplock knob guard to stop settings shifting on stage.
