This Limited Edition of the EL8 Distressor includes all of the upgraded features found on the EL8-X (Stereo Image Link and Brit Mode), now coupled with the award-winning Triad HS-56 transformer at the input stage, known for its ability to add clarity and “size” to sub content. In addition to saturation and color, this transformer also greatly reduces input impedance to 600 ohms. Lastly, different discrete components were selected allowing the XXX model to saturate earlier than the classic EL8.
