DigiTech HardWire Series
TL-2 Metal Distortion
Guitar Effects Pedal

    Unleash raw gain with the DigiTech HardWire™ TL-2 Metal Distortion Guitar Pedal !

The TL-2 Metal Distortion puts two high-gain amp tone circuits at your disposal: Tight and Loose:

• Tight Mode:  gives you a responsive, percussive low end with smooth high frequencies
• Loose Mode:  features a low EQ that best suits detuned guitars and produces a massive amount of low end thump

    As with all HardWire pedals, the TL-2 is crafted from premium all-metal components to perform night after night, tour after tour.

    True Bypass circuitry preserves your tone in bypass, and constant high-voltage operation for tonal quality and noise reduction.


HardWire Pedals include the following stage accessories:

• Stomplock™ knob guards lock your tone in place and prevent tampering or accidental knob adjustments onstage
• Green gaffer tape helps you locate the pedal in adverse stage lighting
• Custom-cut Velcro® pads attach and lock your pedals to your pedalboard
