BIAS Pedal uses the same logic of our revolutionary BIAS Amp designer, allowing you to virtually create your own distortion pedal from circuit guts to the transistors, tone match any distortion pedal. And you can create, share and download custom distortion pedals on ToneCloud.

BIAS Pedal is seamlessly integrated with BIAS FX, now you can add your custom distortion to your BIAS FX pedalboard.

Dive into your dream tone instantly by matching your favorite distortion, overdrive, fuzz, and boost pedals.

BIAS Pedal Tone Match technology analyzes and compares your currently selected pedal and the sound of a target tube pedal. It then executes the tonal compensation and enhancements needed to make your pedal’s sound accurately match that of the target pedal

Design Your Dream Pedal

For the first time ever, you can easily design and modify your custom distortion pedal at the most detailed level – from the input volume, to the distortion stages and gain control, to pre and post EQ and much, much more. You can even change the pedal’s virtual guts as you would do with a real distortion pedal: modify your boost pedal’s germanium transistor or tweak your fuzz pedal’s silicon transistor.

BIAS Pedal’s extremely intuitive operation uses the world’s most famous distortion pedal circuit layouts, so you can create your custom distortion pedal in a breeze.

Integration with BIAS FX

BIAS Pedal seamlessly integrates with your BIAS FX mobile and desktop effects arsenals.
