We worked really really hard on achieving this, and we’ve done stuff that no one has done before in a distortion pedal, doing things that are considered politically incorrect, in engineering terms.  But we did it anyway - why?  Because it worked!  We don’t care about specs and fine numbers.  We care about music and musicians.  Because we are musicians ourselves, we know what you guys are talking about.

We absolutely think we got this one right.  It kicks major butt, and has surprised everyone we played it for.  If you are into metal or at least into heavy riffing rock, this is a must hear.  I’m not a metalplayer myself, but I have to have my daily fix of the PisdiYAUwot.

By the way, the name PisdiYAUwot.  What does it mean Angus Podgorny?  It sort of means a ‘contraption’ - with the difference that this is a contraption that actually does work!

The Reeza II is a unique type of overdrive/distortion pedal that was designed to emulate as faithfully as possible the distortion characteristics of a real tube amp.

With the inclusion of a bias control the user is allowed to adjust the inner workings of the pedal from class B (far left) to class A (far right) and anywhere in between, altering the harmonic structure of the signal and providing a much wider variety of tonal options than your standard OD/dist. pedal.  Class A mode provides a smoother clipping ala’ Vox AC30 while Class B is more akin to your classis Marshall Amp tones.

Additional controls for Level, Gain, and the previously mentioned Low and High tone controls allow the user to fine tune the Reezafratzitz to taste.

Also added is the ingenious circuit: 'untrue bypass' that at Emma electronic is known as 'the overlord of the beast'.  There are many myths about mechanical true bypass.  In a pedal like this and the coming PisdiYAUwot, you will want and you will get the 'untrue bypass' circuit.

We worked really hard on getting the mids to respond well, and the highs and lows to be right for blues rock and pop.  We also chose a circuit that has a particularly nice warmth to it.

The low and high controls gives a great control of the amount of mids in the pedal.  Turn them both down, and the midrange comes out, but without being nasal.  Turn them up, and the mids gets slightly scooped, still keeping the sound full and punchy.

This pedal works great for blues, pop and rock.  It sings well and has great midrange response.
