JET PEDALS LION 

 Programable Distortion 

$330.00 USD

Jr. (Jet) Thomason has been around for years with pedals that

come and go and has been active then seems to disappear but 

then return? He has a loyal following of players that boast his pedals have very good organic touch sensitivity. In essence they 'feel' good to play. Most are MIDI programmable. Usually with a few pre-programed sounds you can access by double clicking the footswitch.

The layout is Volume, Gain with both a High Cut and Low Cut.

The unit is an OpAmp dirt pedal which uses both symmetrical second harmonic style distortion or asymmetrical tube amp like distortion. In Rock-speak it is a Tube Screamer and a Rat in one pedal.

  The first video covers how to operate the pre-set mode.

CONCLUSION __

In the real world this pedal will unlikely have more than two or 3 sounds you would want and is hardly hassle free. Unless you love the sound than buying a pedal with one great sound and adding another dirt pedal or two for different sounds is the way to go. The pedal sounds good but hardly has a WOW factor.
