DragonbeardJR DragonbeardJR
F
DISTORTION
X Type:
Build Level: Intermediate
Based On: Bixonic® Expandora™
From Vintage Guitar:
"Bixonic introduced the Expandora distortion/fuzz pedal in 1995, and it quickly became popular
among guitarists the likes of Billy Gibbons, Joe Satriani, Megadeth, and Bootsy Collins. The
original Expandora was loved, but had its drawbacks, such as having its DIP switches inside. It
was also a little thin-sounding. In '01 we saw the Expandora II, with more tone control and better
low-end response. And at this January's NAMM show, Bixonic introduced the Expandora 2000R,
which combines the best of both previous versions and offers a few subtle improvements, like DIP
switches on the outside making them of course more accessible, sturdier bypass switch, and a DIP
switch to toggle between the old version and newer version with more bass."
LVL, GAIN, TONE: Self-explanatory.
OFD: This switches between Overdrive (down), "Forbidden" (center) and Distortion (up) modes. It
corresponds to selections made with the DIP switch on the Expandora™.
