Dunes™ is a condensed take on our highly popular Palisades “808-style” overdrive. We’ve stripped away all the glitz and glamour of the original Palisades, leaving only the bare essentials required for a rippin’ mid-boosting transparent overdrive. It has all the great tone of the grown-up Palisades but with a simplified interface and a smaller footprint!
The Dunes features the same Gain, Tone and Level controls as the Palisades, along with our favourite voice and bandwidth settings, as well as the Normal/Bright toggle. The selectable clipping Voices are: MOSFET for a tight crunchy sound (Palisades’ Setting 3); Silicon Asymmetrical clipping for tighter light gain OD closest to the classic 808 sound (Palisades’ Setting 4), and None, which goes from clean boost to gritty, pure op-amp distortion with a massive volume boost (Palisades’ Setting 1). The two Bandwidth settings are Stock for the classic tone (Palisades’ Setting 3) and Full Range for more lower end (Palisades’ Setting 5).
Core Sound Formula: A condensed version of the acclaimed Palisades “808‑style” overdrive—but simpler and more pedalboard-friendly.
Voice Modes:
MOSFET: Tight and crunchy (Palisades Setting 3)
Silicon: Classic Tubescreamer-style clipping (Setting 5)
None: Transparent op-amp boost into a gritty overdrive with serious volume.
Bandwidth Switch:
Stock: Classic mid-hump EQ (Palisades Setting 3)
Full Range: Extended lows and broader frequency response.
Normal / Bright Toggle: Normal = full and warm; Bright = more chime and sparkle.
