Colortone Parasite is a versatile JFET based harmonically rich ‘Full Spectrum’ Overdrive guitar pedal with Treble Boost features and active tone controls.
While the Parasite has you easily covered for Blues Breaker, Dumble and OCD style tones in particular - and also does that really cool soft smooth voicing. The Parasite offers great touch sensitivity, cleanup, and dynamic response.
At a mild drive setting the PARASITE can act as an ‘always on’ pre-amp style device adding a light organic textural sparkle to your clean sound.
With larger amounts of drive you’ll start feeling the creamy tubelike compression, tonal breakup and harmonic complexity of a driven tube amp.
