Hot Ice Sweet Distortion V2
Hot Ice Sweet Distortion V2 is a new and improved version of the original pedal, available as of November 2024.
The new features include:
1. A better silk screen design made simpler and more attractive.
2. Increased level of the output signal.
3. A slightly brighter tone.
4. The overall tone is more transparent and organic.
Just like V1, the Hot Ice V2 is a very versatile pedal with unlimited capabilities. The unique two-drive system gives you a couple of overdrives that combine into a powerful distortion tone. The five adjustment knobs allow you to easily and quickly model your guitar sound in a variety of ways. You can make it sound soft and melodious, or heavy and aggressive. The pedal allows you to play in any style: from light blues to hard-rock. Hot Ice is a true bypass with next to no noise, even at max distortion.
The unit features a Booster, a Compressor, two distinct Overdrives, and a Distortion, all in one box.

Features
Volume. Designed to adjust the output volume level from the pedal to your amplifier.
Tone. Allows you to set the desired balance between high and low frequencies. Even at max position the tone is very warm and pleasing to the ear.
Juice. Compresses and boosts the sound, making it brighter, more juicy and concentrated. Also, adds a little bit of extra gain.
Drive 1. A smooth and hard overdrive. Even at low drive 1 settings the pedal gives you a thick and solid sound. This is a type of overdrive well suited for a variety of rock styles.
Drive 2. A light and bright overdrive. This is a type of overdrive well suited for light compositions in a style of country, blues, pop and more.
The Drive 1 and Drive 2 are independent of one another, each featuring a different type of an overdrive. The two drives can either be used separately or together. By combining the two drives together you can easily simulate any type of an overdrive, perfectly suitable for either rhythm or solo parts.
By setting the Drive 1 and Drive 2 simultaneously to near or max position, you will get an incredibly thick and powerful distortion. The two drive knob system together with Tone and Juice allows you to easily make the pedal sound just the way you want it to.
