The Zig Zag is a dual stage overdrive. The circuit begins with a Jfet preamp input stage which adds a tube style feel to the pick attack. After the Preamp the signal is fed into the second gain stage which is controlled by the Gain control. The Gain and Preamp controls are voiced differently so that blending in differing amounts of each changes the overall response of the feel, eq and gain characteristics. The dual gain stages allow for a wide range of gain from low to singing saturation.
