Cascade Pedals have introduced the Hosstortion, a “modern reimagining” of the short-lived but revered Ibanez MT-10 Mostortion.
The Hosstortion is a MOSFET distortion pedal. At its heart sits a BiMOS chip, which is a step up the original’s CMOS CA3260. According to Cascade, this allows the pedal more headroom, and produces warm mids, lots of low end while “maintaining the original tone-stack and sonic characteristics of the Mostortion”.
Controls for the Hoss include a level and dirt knob for dialling in your gain, and a powerful three-band EQ for shaping anything from sizzling leads, to fat hi-gain tones.
Other thoughtful features include pedalboard friendly top-mounted jacks, a premium foot switch, and a striking “sour apple” green-sparkle power housing.
To hear what the pedal can do, here’s a video demo from Cascade’s youtube channel:
The Hosstortion retails at US$175, learn more at cascadepedals.com
