Rocktron's Silver Dragon is a unique distortion unit that combines the best of both worlds ­ tube and analog solid state distortion. The second mode, called SLAYER, features a mixed-in combination of the 12AX7 distortion with the solid state distortion driving the tube together. Slayer INTENSITY changes the character, sustain and attack properties, which together enhance articulation. BREATH control is for the symmetry of the solid state distortion which affects the "feel" of the distortion. Get your tube and your solid state in one package as you slay with this dragon.
