Since the beginning of time, there has been no instrument created that
has the ability to convey more emotional response than the electric
guitar. A guitar player is able to reach into his or her soul and
express every sentiment and passion known to man through the vast array
of tonal options available. Early on, these options were limited to
string gauge, pickups, amplifiers, and unique properties of the wood
used in construction. Today, these options have been greatly expanded
through the use of rack mount effects and stomp boxes. When it comes to
stompboxes, overdrive and distortion pedals have always been very
popular favorites. No longer do you need to turn your amplifier up to
an ear splitting levels to achieve a driven tube sound, or heavy
clipping distortion. Many great guitar players have based their
signature sounds on the type of distortion they use.For over 30 years,
ProCo Sound has been giving guitar players the tools they need to allow
their guitar solos to fly high above the rest. Many players have

called the "SOLO", and I have been given the extreme honor to be the
first to take it for a spin.
