Pigtronix Aria Distortion

[bonbon5612]

How does this compare to the way huge green rhino? I'm really looking for an organic sounding od thats very transparent. Plus, is it true bypass?

[blueleadguitar]

Finding my way! Great Rush song!

[bigfish0886]

You guys do some of the best demos! I cant wait for you guys to start doing ten minute videos!

[Stertily]

Would you guys sell this with an American adapter? Or can you sell Australian adapters too?

[punkmusicmetal]

I'm not sure if this was discussed in the video, but if you turn the gain down, could this kinda work as an EQ pedal?

[natechocomuffin]

haha...he said thick and meaty.

[joshie4330]

The only thing wrong with this pedal is the jacks being together and no on top. It makes it a pain in the butt to put on a pedalboard.

[95shredder]

@joshie4330 Try setting the pedal on its side with the volume knob closest to you on the pedalboard and run the cables through the top.

[Teutonic1250]

snowblind! big sabbath fan too

[ThePencil901]

lol is says disNortion

[mike31jmb]

snort as in pig snort...uh hello city boy!

[tony93666]

'Pigtronix' = one of the worst names ever

their stuff sounds good though

[ghwelles]

Ditto on the name. I almost would not buy it because of the name. Pretty quality stuff though, now I have the Disnortion and the EP-1

[m0joGriffin]

I would almost buy it *because* of the names!!

[YOUsnozeYOULOZE]

/Brilliant, you'll remember it and that's the point.

[wordhurler]

@tony93666

You misspelled "best"!

[LordOfThisWorld74]

I can see this being perfect for old school sabbath(Vol. 4 and masters of reality)

[weirdotis]

Yeah, it really gets the Iommi tone down... I was surprised.

[mike31jmb]

have to agree with that for sure.

[maniacafrodisiac]

my name is dave aria.. i should probably get this pedal cause it has my name on it right? don't worry, i'm not disnorting the truth. =)

[Snowblind333]

is that SNOWBLIND at the start of this video!?

[XguitarrockerX]

YEAH

I love that song!

[zemechanism]

yeah definetely snowblind

[ironrushscorp]

andy, i think i may love your demos because of all the rush you play

great demo!!!

[InThisStyle]

Nice, I've got their Mothership, was hesitant to get into this company because of high-price and quirky-gimmicky advertisement and labeling. Now I realize that they make serious quality gear with excellent handbooks for use. Excited to try a few more pedals from this company. Not really for amateurs, high tone-sculpting capabilities. Pro-musicians will dig it.

[TheTartersauceGuild]

I just thought that Andy had a cold considering that the info and the video title both say "Distortion" and not"Disnortion". I don't care what Pigtronix calls their pedals, I just like to get the record straight.

[spectrum1961]

It's DI SNORT ION. the snort on a pig

[kilyatwice]

Why the hell is it the "disNortion"? and not the "distortion"?

[sillyosoddus]

Think pig sounds. Oink, Snort. Hence, diSNORTion.

[omgm0n]

PIGtronix, get it? Snort snort. I have no idea if that's why it says that but yeah.

[jofussdean]

What you get is what you see. Things that dont come easily, Feeling happy in my pain, Icicles within my brain. *COCAIN*

[sadgmusic]

not a fan...

[SonicGamer1991]

I need a pedal that can give me the old school Hardline sound Ive tried the Metal Zone and DS1. Would this work?

[rrippp]

the metal zone sucks. I suggest an MXR distortion III or a ProCo Rat if you want an old school analogue distortion

[billmeedog]

"What Your Doing" - Rush!!!

[billmeedog]

No, I'm a "dumbass!" That was "Finding My Way" by Rush! - SORRY!

[binladensassassin]

way too fuzzy

[880873]

The input & output are on the same side of the stompbox. Pain in the arse on your pedal board.

[jasonyounMUSE]

I hate you Andy, you make me buy stuff,,, Thanks for always putting up great reviews.

[underwoodblog]

is it running with 9v or 18v in this demo?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

We used the supplied Pigtronix 18v adapter for the video.

[thehazeisgod]

DISSSSTNORTIONNNN

[tylerdwells]

3:55...this disNortion...?

[TrevortIn]

@tylerdwells It's called Aria Disnortion, look at the pedal.

[PYROSF]

Thats the name of the pedal.

Underneath "Aria" it says "disnortion"

[ThatWhalingBand]

totally faked me out at the beginning....I thought Andy was copping some Humble Pie......Would be great for Stone Cold Fever!!!!!!!

[edadmartin]

I had grease and grits for breakfast-------oh thats not what he ment --my bad! nice slide work andy!

[domdabombabc]

Sounds pretty fuzzy for a distortion pedal.

[LemonInYourEye]

When it has that fuzzy quality to it at 2:30, is that coming from the pedal, or from the mic and the amp clipping?

[iagobroxado]

I would say pedal. PGS uses top-notch gear to record these videos, I believe the sound you hear is very very true to the sound in their room.

[MarkBrim]

thats gotta be the pedal, i've never known PGS demos to have mic clipping. sounds good though, i think.

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

The Aria can do muffy fuzz tones at certain settings. We would never allow mic clipping! That's preposterous.

[whitepeoplearestupid]

@ProGuitarShopDemos preposterous lol. do you guys have an actual walk in shop as well?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@whitepeoplearestupid - We do have a physical shop. Appointment only Monday-Friday, so give us a call ahead of time if you want to come down. Thanks!

-PGS Crew

[FrankKair]

Snowblind (BLACK SABBATH, Vol.4) and Finding My Way (RUSH, Rush) !!! Andy is always teasing us with the best of rock and roll!

[Chumleh]

How would it stack with my DS-1 for extra fuzziness? (Don't hate. It was good enough for Cobain, it's good enough for me.)

[OneTimer1127]

He took pride in shitty gear, as part of the image. Most everything was good for him :P As far as your actual question, that'd be some insanely high distortion.

[nicolanzarotti]

snowblind!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Andrelix67]

Hey Andy! In my cr@ppy lap-top I can't tell the difference between this pedal and the Pigtronix Polysaturator... What are the main differences between them? Thx!!!

[Andrelix67]

Rush!!! Rock on!!!

[speakercoilmusic]

Oh and I think Andy might have one of the greatest jobs on the planet... sooooo unfair. I wish I got paid to play my favorite riffs on great gear and video tape it... and then get a legion of fans raving about my song choices...

[edmondo]

Andy probably has other responsibilities....like being awesome

[speakercoilmusic]

I am sorry but I fucking love Pigtronix... They aren't trying to mimic anyone... They seriously are going for their own unique tones, and I solute that!

[TheTartersauceGuild]

Disnortion?

[MichaelBradus]

What are you questioning? It's Pigtronix. Why wouldn't they put a pig pun in the name?

[BassDude50000]

sexy

[Ilovemyfender2]

I like it better than the polysaturator or creamsicle. Still has that messiness, that..oink to it.

[Treeman987]

awesome stuff
