The BSM HS is a distortion pedal inspired by the early British HORNBY-SKEWES unit, famously used by guitarist Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple. This pedal delivers a strong, aggressive tone that contributed to the defining sounds on albums like "Deep Purple In Rock" and "Fireball."
The HS model features germanium transistors, replicating the characteristics of the original 1965 unit. The HS-Custom variant includes a volume control, reflecting Blackmore's personal modification for added tonal flexibility. This pedal is designed for musicians seeking a vintage-inspired distortion with a rich, dynamic presence.
