Detail 01
Bite control
Clockwise adjustment makes the drive more aggressive; counterclockwise adjustment makes it smoother.

Independent shopping perspective
El Hombre is an overdrive pedal built around a simple set of controls with a wide range of drive behavior. Set the gain lower for mild overdrive or raise it for a more forceful response, then use Bite to steer the character: clockwise brings in a more aggressive edge, while counterclockwise smooths it out. Volume and gain can be balanced independently, so it supports level-forward, lower-gain settings as well as gain-heavy sounds with reduced output.
