Up for sale is a Solar Guitars Chug Pedal Preamp Distortion, an incredibly powerful high-gain preamp pedal designed in collaboration with Ola Englund for players who demand crushing modern metal tones without compromise. Built to deliver the tight, articulate response of a premium high-gain amplifier, the Chug Pedal is far more than a traditional distortion pedal—it's a fully-fledged analogue preamp capable of transforming almost any rig into a modern metal machine.

This example is in Excellent condition, showing only light signs of careful use and functioning exactly as it should. It has been exceptionally well looked after and is ready to take pride of place on its next pedalboard.

At the heart of the Chug Pedal is a high-headroom analogue preamp that delivers everything from aggressive hard rock crunch to devastatingly tight, saturated high-gain tones. Designed with extended-range guitars and down-tuned riffs in mind, it offers outstanding note separation, exceptional clarity, and a percussive low-end response that remains controlled even under extreme gain settings.

One of its standout features is the integrated 4-band active EQ, allowing precise control over your sound with dedicated Bass, Middle, Treble, and Presence controls. This makes it easy to tailor the pedal to virtually any guitar, amplifier, or cabinet while retaining its aggressive character. The built-in CHUG control further tightens the low end, adding extra punch and attack that's perfect for palm-muted riffs and modern metal rhythm playing.

The Chug Pedal also features a built-in noise gate, helping to keep even the highest gain settings clean and controlled, while a fully featured effects loop allows seamless integration of modulation, delay, and reverb effects into your signal chain. Whether used as a standalone preamp into a power amp or effects return, or as a distortion pedal into the front of a clean amplifier, it delivers exceptional flexibility and professional-level performance.

Built with rugged construction and premium components throughout, the Chug Pedal is designed to withstand the demands of regular rehearsals, studio sessions, and touring alike.
