The Moonshine V2 is still based off the core of the original Moonshine unit – players that enjoyed the first version will love this one as well. It retains the original volume, tone, and drive controls, as well as the distinctive ‘proof switch.’ When toggled up, the switch gives more headroom and an overall volume boost for lighter styles.

Flip it down, and the switch adds a hit of sustain and midrange boost for a thicker, more forceful overdrive. The V2 also features a new clean knob, which gives you the ability to blend your clean signal into the driven output for smoother, classic breakup tones. While this pedal only requires standard 9-volt DC power, an internal charge pump converts the power to 18-volts, giving the Moonshine a heavier, punchier low end and greater headroom.

The four-knob control setup means that the Moonshine V2 is very easy to adjust, yet also possesses a ton of flexibility to help you find your perfect tone. The first three knobs, imported from the original Moonshine V1, control volume, drive, and tone. The first two are self-explanatory, while the third helps sharpen and contour your signal.

New to the V2, the clean knob blends the overdriven tone of the Moonshine with your dry sound from the amp, opening up new tonal possibilities and creating smoother, luscious breakup tones. Finally, the proof switch adds another layer to your tone, with its high headroom when left up and punchy midrange boost when toggled down.
