Overview
Overflowing with organic amp-like distortion tones, natural tube compression and a tight but rich tonal character, Grand Magus Distortion IS the sound of Rock N Roll. Now put all of that in a compact metal enclosure with true bypass, and served to you at a price that’ll make your endorphin-levels shoot through the roof, and you got a shiny one-way ticket to rock heaven!
Raw Rock Power
Nothing has shaped the musical landscape more than a roaring tube amp set to 11. From the past to the present, it remains the soul of rock! Grand Magus Distortion manages to distill the heavenly rich harmonic content and organic tube sag that defines a great fire-breathing amplifier, making it an inspiring experience to play every single time. So if your riffs need of a whole lotta love, Grand Magus Distortion is sure to deliver the goods.
50 Shades Of Gain
Grand Magus Distortion isn’t just a one-trick tone pony. Its wide gain range and smooth tonal character, mixed with a super-tight low-end response, lets you go from a Hendrix crunch to beefy Blackmore distortion and all the way to super-saturated Slash-like solo tones in seconds flat. From dark vintage distortion to crisp modern drive tones, you’ll find it all here in this super-versatile distortion pedal.
You Shall Pass!
We know that the battle for a place on your pedalboard is fierce, hence we’ve prepped Grand Magus Distortion exceptionally well for the test. A compact but ultra-roadworthy enclosure, mixed with top-mounted jacks and a true bypass design will see you and your pedalboard welcome this pedal into the tone-fold with open arms.
Backstage Pass – All Access
You’re probably well-versed in the controls of super-saturators like Grand Magus Distortion. But just for the fun of it, and because my boss told me to do this (all work and no play makes Homer go something something…), let’s just go through the ins and outs real quick!
Rock Or Bust
You like gain, right? Good, so do we. And luckily Grand Magus packs a punch! Set it low for an edge-of-breakup crunch or max it and revel in its earthshakingly awesome distortion tone.
The Next Level
Okay, we trust you know what this one does. Rock should be loud, so naturally you want this one well past 12 o’clock. Pro-Tip: When the neighbors start to complain, you know you’ve found the sweet spot.
Cut Through
Go left to cut treble, go right to boost it. From dark old-school dirt tones to crisp and modern distortion. You define the era you wanna rock in with this knob.
True Bypass
Grand Magus Distortion is a true tone gentleman. Enhances your tone when on, and leaves it completely alone when off.
Features
- Natural tube-like distortion
- Wide gain range – with a rich and tight tonal character
- True Bypass and Top-mounted jacks

I was looking to expand my distortion tone range and honestly got this pedal on name alone because it was so cheap. I was pleasantly surprised with what I got. The tone is full and has that fantastic sagging bottom-end to it, I immediately started writing a new stoner/doom metal piece to take advantage of that sound. Dialed back has a great classic overdrive sound. You may want to look elsewhere if you are looking for really tight high-gain applications like thrash/death metal, but especially for the price I would recommend to anyone.

Comments about TC Electronic Grand Magus Distortion Effect Pedal:
I think it's a great pedal, low distortion sounds great for blues. I can go to about 2 o'clock with gai after that it starting to really sound like a pushed tube amp and almost loses clarity. overall its a great pedal though!
