The Knight Of Tone Dual Overdrive MKII is a Bluesbreaker double guitar overdrive, designed to deliver open, dynamic and musical saturation, with simple, flexible operation.
It is based on an architecture renowned for its gentle compression, transparency and strong interaction with the game.

A full demo will soon be available to illustrate the different gain levels and pedal response in real-life situations.
Musical intent & use cases
The Knight Of Tone MKII is designed to function as a gain base, main overdrive or natural stacking tool.
Its two independent channels allow you to build different textures, from a clear boost to an expressive overdrive, right through to a denser saturation.
Each channel features an external 3-position selector (Boost / Overdrive / Distortion), allowing instant adaptation of gain behavior without complex internal adjustments.
This approach makes the pedal particularly effective in real-life situations, both on stage and in the studio.
Internal dip switches adjust the gain range of each channel, offering fine-tuning according to amp, guitar and the pedal's role in the chain.
The pedal remains highly sensitive to picking dynamics, guitar volume, and touch, which is characteristic of Bluesbreaker-style overdrives.
The two channels can be used separately or stacked, with natural, progressive interaction, without excess compression or loss of legibility.
Who this pedal is for
The Knight Of Tone MKII is designed for guitarists looking for a expressive, natural double overdrive, able to cover multiple roles with simple, musical logic.
It is particularly suited to musicians who prefer touch, dynamics and open saturation.
This pedal is for you if :
- if you're looking for a double overdrive that's easy and efficient to use
