LichtLaerm Audio / Gehenna

Aquaria is a homage to perhaps the world's most popular overdrive. We wanted to bring you all the original sounds, but of course that's not all. Added a 3-way clipping switch that lets you adjust saturation and compression to your liking.

You can choose from germanium diodes for a smooth sound, modern sounds that combine a Schottky diode and smoothing capacitor, or silicon diodes for more headroom and harsher distortion-like sounds. Aquaria's ancestors create their signature sound by mixing clean signals as you increase the gain, but we've split this functionality into two separate controls so you can use it for the perfect clean boost, harsh distortion, or the classic transparent drive that comes to mind when you see hybrid creatures in the pedal's artwork. While maintaining the original tone control principle, we have greatly improved the response.

In addition to these adjustments, we've added a footswitchable 4-band EQ with perfectly selected bands, and a second master volume we've named ""Boost."" The possibilities are endless: dial Aquaria to get the perfect frequency spectrum for your situation, use it as a two-channel device, or simply use it as an EQ. The Aquaria is equally comfortable in front of a clean channel or as a drive to push your amp to its limits. Finally, we added the infamous Klon bypass buffer and a small internal switch that allows you to select true bypass operation.
