Mythos Mjolnir
Mythos · pedal
Mythos Mjolnir is an overdrive pedal inspired by the Klon topology, tweaked to reduce midrange honk and add low-end push while softening the treble. Available in standard, germanium, and limited-edition versions, the Mjolnir delivers transparent overdrive with less gain and sweeter top-end character than traditional klones.
