The Tritium's particular flavour of overdrive comes, according to Jetter, as a result of what was learned while developing Jetdrive and Helium pedals.

And in this example, transparency of sound and touch sensitivity are the primary concerns.

Sounds

The Tritium is a delight to play through, being very responsive to pick attack so you can dig in for more grind.

There's also a lot more gain on tap here than in the Helium, covering all shades of dirt up until a maxed out drive knob provides a harmonically rich sound that's well suited to lead work.
