Electro-Harmonix Pico Triboro Bridge
Electro-Harmonix · pedal
The Electro-Harmonix Pico Triboro Bridge is a compact tri-mode drive pedal combining overdrive, distortion, and fuzz in a single pico-sized enclosure. A mode selector switch cycles through the three gain characters, each offering Drive and Volume controls. The overdrive mode provides warm, touch-sensitive saturation; the distortion mode delivers harder, more compressed clipping; and the fuzz mode produces a raw, buzzing gain texture with higher output. The small form factor and versatility make it practical as a utility gain pedal for travel rigs and players who need multiple gain personalities in minimal pedalboard space.
