Dophix · pedal
The Dophix Perseo is an Italian boutique overdrive pedal from Florence-based Dophix, named after the Greek hero Perseus and continuing the brand tradition of mythological and Renaissance Italian naming conventions. Hand-built in Italy using premium analog components, the Perseo delivers a focused, energetic overdrive character suited to rock, blues rock, and lead guitar applications. It targets players who value artisan construction and a refined drive voice over mainstream pedal options, and shares the brand characteristics of warm tone, dynamic response, and boutique component quality common to all Dophix products.
