The Chipotle High-Gain Distortion is a distortion circuit from Pepper Pedals. Its controls are Volume and Gain, which, as documented, do their respective duties1.
Controls
The Chipotle carries four knobs, two of which are named for how they shape the frequency range rather than with conventional EQ labels1.
| Control | Function |
|---|---|
| Gain | Sets the amount of distortion1 |
| Volume | Sets the output level1 |
| Body | Bass EQ1 |
| Bite | Treble EQ1 |
Of the two EQ knobs, the reviewer wrote that "both really provide a nice sweep in frequency to let you match the pedal's tone to your amp's output"1. That sweep matters in practice: with a wide-ranging bass and treble cut and boost around a high-gain core, the Body and Bite knobs are the tools for fitting the Chipotle to a particular amp rather than fighting it.
