DAWNER PRINCE DIKTATOR (Tweedehands)

Dawner Prince Diktator – Versatile preamp, booster & distortion in one

The Dawner Prince Diktator is a powerful pedal that combines two fully independent channels: a clean, transparent preamp and a thick, saturated drive/distortion. This gives you a wide sonic palette: from subtle overdrive to full-on distortion.

The Detonator channel delivers a wide drive range, and you have full control with a Level knob and a 2-band Baxandall EQ (Bass & Treble) to shape your tone. Two toggle switches allow selection between vintage or modern distortion (Hard / Soft) and between bright or dark clipping (Dark / Bright).

The Fuse channel serves as a clean boost/preamp: it can add up to ~ 30 dB of gain, perfect for pushing your amp, dialing in solos, or just giving your signal more presence.

A standout feature is the Dynamic‑O‑Meter (“Diktator’s eyes”), a visual meter that reflects the pedal’s dynamic response to your playing—very useful for expressive performance.
