One of the things people love about the Workhorse amps is how simple they are to use. There are only 5 knobs: Volume, Treble, Mid, Bass, and Reverb. (for controlling the on-board spring reverb). You don’t need to read the manual to figure out how to get good tone out these. Most guitar players use an array of pedals to get different tones, from overdrive and distortion to chorus and delay.
The Workhorse amps were created to make effects pedals sound the way they were designed to sound, whether the pedals are Visual Sound brand or other brands. As many players have done for years, you just run all the pedals into the front of the amp… no effects loop required.
To prove the point, we even include a Jekyll & Hyde Overdrive/Distortion pedal to provide a “second and third channel” for the amp. While the Jekyll & Hyde is a great pedal to use with many amps, it really shines with a Workhorse. Whether you play blues or metal or anything in between, the Jekyll & Hyde will inspire you. Just think of it as a channel switcher with knobs! |
