So my pal hit me up about getting a custom Hawk Distortion. We decided that for his setup and style, the best move would be to modify the circuit to make it blend nicely with an already-distorted amp. The standard Hawk pedal really needs a clean amp to sound its best, so I cooked up this version to have more mids and a cleaner range of gain. This allows it to work very well as an overdrive - pushing a dirty amp even dirtier (though It still has enough juice on tap to take a clean amp into riffin' territory).
If you like the tones from the Hawk demo and want to get similar sounds using a crunchy amp, hit me up about one of these. I'm tentatively calling this the "Hawk Lite" and only doing it by special request, but if there's enough demand I'll make it its own thing.
