Description: Crystalline and defined sound with marked brilliance in the highs, perfect for the melodic riffs and solos typical of Queen's sound. The natural crunch is light, with enough headroom to modulate the overdrive with right-hand tapping or an external booster. Tremolo deactivated to maintain a clean and direct sound.
