The Guyatone PS-016 Distortion Limited is a rare 1980s Japanese-made pedal that delivers tight, compressed distortion with a distinctive vintage edge. Often compared to a hotter, fuller take on the classic distortion sound, it offers focused gain with enhanced low end and a tight, controlled response that cuts through the mix without getting muddy. Its compact, rugged design reflects Guyatone’s golden-era build quality, while the tone itself ranges from crunchy rhythm textures to saturated lead sustain. A sought-after piece for collectors and players alike, the PS-016 captures the unique character of vintage Japanese analog distortion.
