The Violet Menace is based on a Violet Ram's Head with an added mids control allowing you more options for shaping and creating your sound. While adding the mids control I also had to modify the circuit to keep the original punch on chords and the smooth, singing tone on leads. The added mids goes from a really scooped tone all the way up to a slight mid hump to help cut in a live situation. All Stomp Under Foot pedals are made by hand and use only quality, through-hole components. • MFSKU Violet Menace
