"The Howler is a warm sounding distortion box that deals out some very tube-like tones over a wide gain range--from soft breakup to super saturation... what I like most about the Howler is its abundance of smooth sustain, and the fact that you don't have to jack the Gain control all the way up to get it."

Volume is a double-edged sword. You own an amplifier to enjoy creating loud, responsive music. But most players just don't have the resources (i.e. SPACE) to crank their amps.
Most amps and pedals nail vintage tone... but none except Maven Peal allow you to control it. Maven Peal's patented Sag Circuit power supply gives you the ability to dial-in traditionally ear-blistering tone and feel at volumes as low as 0.5 watts.
Maven Peal's power supply is safer, more powerful and far more flexibility than the industry standard RCA Radiotron Designer's Handbook power supply ever could be.
Maven Peal's Sag Circuit allows you to:
- dial-in the appropriate wattage for the current venue,
- easily adjust the amount of needed headroom,
- wake up your strings--adjust how much the guitar strings "bloom" or "attack,"--from saggier than a 50 year old rectifier tube to tighter than any power supply on the planet,
- a/b two different power tube flavors with the flip of a switch (or touch of a foot pedal),
- bag those heavy, expensive power conditioners,
- enjoy zero power supply hum, allowing you to record without noise gates.
