Maestro Invader Distortion Effects Pedal

The Maestro Invader Distortion guitar pedal clips your signal from a slight sizzle to over-the-top metal and hard rock tones. There's no conversion to ones and zeros here—the Invader is fully analog. And with intuitive controls, you'll find it easy to dial in the exact amount of distortion at any volume, suitable for bedrooms or big stages. Available now at Guitar Center, the Maestro Invader might just force its way into your pedalboard.

The Maestro Invader Distortion pedal is easy to use

You won't need to take a deep dive into the manual to start making music with the Invader. It has an intuitive, 3-knob layout. Use the Gain knob to increase the distortion for instant crunch and punch. Turn down the Tone for a fatter, darker sound, or rotate it the other way for searing solos. Level sets the overall output. Start at unity gain with your amp, then slowly increase it to find your harmonic sweet spot. 

Keep your signal clean with the Maestro Invader

The Invader distortion pedal has a true-bypass switch that doesn't make a sound when you stomp it off and on. Three LEDs light up the Maestro logo when the distortion is engaged, a handy feature on a dark stage. To turn the pedal off completely, just unplug the input. The Maestro Invader runs on a 9V battery, or an optional 9V power supply.
