General

Build custom tone from the ground up with the high-grade help of the Cicognani Bruto MKI overdrive. A mass of overdrive-shaping options packed up in a tight four-button pedal, this chunk of gear takes all its cues from high-quality valve-amplifiers. The Bruto is a fully analogue overdrive-and-preamp in one, and even comes with a real valve planted right in the middle of the control panel. Set up for home rehearsals and studio work as well as stage work, this overdrive can be combined with an amp or plugged straight into an audio interface via a built-in speaker simulator.

The Cicognani Bruto MKI: Maximum Versatility

The Bruto MKI supplies two separate channels plus a solo boost and a clean channel on the side. When the overdrive is engaged, everything from a mild boost to high-gain overdrive can be dialled in via the nine-pot-strong bank of controls, and triggered via the set of four footswitches. Finished with an FX loop, this stompbox supports seamless integration with your rig and offers maximum sonic versatility.
