The Crowther Audio hotcake™ is a classic guitar pedal that has been around for over 40 years. It was designed to provide a mid-gain distortion sound without affecting the guitar’s undistorted components. This particular build is based on the 2003 version, which provides a glassier Fenderish character. The pedal has three controls: Drive, Volume, and Presence. The Drive control adjusts the amount of distortion, the Volume control adjusts the output level, and the Presence control adjusts the amount of high-end frequencies. This pedal is best used in front of a guitar amp, not in the effects loop. It is perfect for those who like the sound of their amplifier but want to push it harder. With the right settings, the Crowther Audio hotcake™ can provide a great mid-gain distortion sound without sacrificing the guitar’s natural tonality.
