Inheriting Chronos' DNA, we've created a new standard that's more affordable, more compact, and easier to use.

Great sound isn't just for a select few.
High-quality drive sound for every player.


This model retains the richness and smoothness of the standard Chronos while tuning the distortion component towards a drier character. This delivers clearer attack and separation, achieving an open, transparent drive feel. Furthermore, downsizing the enclosure positively impacts sound dispersion and responsiveness, resulting in a nimble, easy-to-handle sound character. This overdrive pedal balances the overall sound through high and low frequency controls, maximizing the musical appeal of the midrange. Its design emphasizes natural transitions between frequency bands, achieving a three-dimensional, amp-like drive sound without excessive emphasis on any specific range.

It excels in compatibility with tube amplifiers, designed to add natural distortion and rich harmonics while preserving the amp's inherent character and dynamics. It offers a wide gain range from crunch to lead, accurately reflecting picking dynamics and playing nuances in the sound. Furthermore, even when used with transistor amps, it delivers an amp-like drive sound with depth and three-dimensionality without sounding harsh, making it a highly capable main drive pedal.

The distortion features finely textured, well-defined grain. It maintains clear note separation during chord playing while forming a thick, focused tone for single notes. It also responds naturally to the guitar's volume control: rolling it back yields clean tones, increasing it produces crunch, and maxing it out delivers lead tones. This allows for extensive sound shaping solely through in-performance control.

It achieves a high level of balance between the warmth of vintage tone and modern clarity, designed to suit diverse players regardless of genre or playing environment.

The Chronos Zero is our flagship overdrive pedal, one we confidently recommend to players of any style.
