Dophix · pedal
The Dophix Nettuno is an Italian boutique overdrive pedal from Florence-based Dophix, named after the Roman god Neptune and following the brand tradition of Renaissance and classical Italian themes. Hand-built using premium analog components, the Nettuno delivers a fluid, saturated overdrive character aimed at blues, rock, and classic rock players. Like all Dophix pedals, it is a hand-crafted artisan instrument with boutique pricing and limited global distribution. The Nettuno targets players who seek a refined Italian boutique drive voice in the medium-gain overdrive range.
