One Control · pedal
The One Control Little Green Emphaser is a dynamic boost pedal from One Control's compact effects lineup, designed to add emphasis and lift to a guitar signal in response to playing dynamics rather than applying a fixed, static boost. It reflects One Control's characteristic minimalist, function-focused design approach in a compact, road-ready enclosure.
