5051 Distortion

The Kappa Eletronics 5051 Distortion is a high-gain distortion effects pedal designed to emulate the Peavey 5150 amplifier preamp in a compact pedal format. Utilizing JFET transistors in place of vacuum tubes, this distortion stompbox delivers 5 stages of gain, offering a range of tones from classic Van Halen-style brown sound to modern high-gain distortion. The passive tone stack matches the frequency response of tube amplifiers, while the dedicated presence control allows detailed adjustment of upper mids and treble response. Each JFET is individually calibrated to maintain consistency and tonal accuracy throughout the circuit. **Key Features:** - High-gain distortion pedal inspired by the Peavey 5150 preamp - All-JFET signal path with individually calibrated transistors - Passive EQ section with standard tone stack controls - Dedicated presence control for detailed adjustment of treble and upper mids - Five-stage gain structure for a versatile distortion range
