AMT Electronics Distortion Machine:
This is an analog distortion with digital control functions and effects parameters memory. The device has four banks (banks A,B,C,D), each of which has four programmable patches (patches 1,2,3,4) for storing user sounds. In fact it means that the owner of DistMachine DM-3 has a quick access to 16 patches with various effect parameters customized from the users favorite styles. The DistMachine DM-3 is capable of producing slight transparent overdrive in classic rock n roll style, to screaming heavy metal distortion type. It is the best of all the AMT Electronics pedals in one unit!
All factory tone settings can be copied from one patch to another (COPY function), changed as required and store to any patch (SAVE function) of any bank. Here we provided UNDO function, i.e. the opportunity to undo the last move and return to the previous one within the programmed patch. Besides, all factory distortion settings can be reset (RESET function). The friendly user interface of DistMachine DM-3 makes it simple to master the tone parameters editing, storing and copying techniques. Moving from one bank to another, from one patch to another or to BYPASS position is accomplished by means of two multi-functional foot switches.
All these functions make DistMachine DM-3 indispensable during live performances when a guitar player needs to switch among the distortion types without bending and stopping at exact moment. DistMachine DM-3 is the first device to incorporate new types of foot switches providing the device durability and switching reliability. In order to monitor the current status DistMachine DM-3, AMT incorporates a string of multicolored led indicators. They reflect all functions and parameter values of the device beginning from bank and patch number to all parameters that are being changed at a given moment.
All AMT pedals are designed to sound equally as good through an amp or direct recorded due to built-in cabinet emulation circuitry. Perfect for live performance and in the studio. You must try one to believe it. The first time you plug one in, you will be instantly addicted to the "AMT Tone".
