Tessa

The TESSA by effettidiclara is a distortion pedal crafted entirely by hand in Italy. This pedal delivers a vintage-style drive that is uncompressed and dynamic, simulating the sound of a tube amplifier pushed to its limits. It offers a range from light crunch to aggressive distortion while maintaining a warm, smooth tone even at high gain settings. Musically, the TESSA excels in both LOW mode for guitar, providing an enhanced low-end boost, and HIGH mode for bass, yielding a hollowed-out sound ideal for chord work. This versatile design combines features from previous versions, catering to both guitarists and bassists. The V3 version introduces an electromechanical true bypass relay with a clickless switch, ensuring quieter operation and improved durability compared to traditional mechanical switches.
