monica is Virtues' flagship model.
This is a rare overdrive that can match any guitar/amp.
Although the circuit details and the base design are very classical,
By using a JFET input op amp, we have maintained a modern level of expressiveness and range.
Furthermore, as a result of searching for the ideal clipping element, which is the core of saturation,
Instead of using a Si diode, Ge diode, or FET, we used a bipolar transistor, which is rarely used as a diode element in pedals.
Using this element as clipping allows for creamy saturation without sacrificing touch response.
In combination with the JFET input op amp mentioned above, it produces a slightly hysterical,
It has a clear mid-range and won't get lost in an ensemble.
In addition, there is a Low Boost control on the top side of the housing. This control is located after the gain stage in the circuit, so it can be used to adjust the distortion without changing the center of gravity or thickness of the core.
It can be adjusted to match your guitar amp.
The Monica has a natural saturation that shows off a variety of expressions depending on the picking, volume control, and guitar used.
It can be used as a main overdrive, or to push other pedals or amps.
It works in any situation.

Virtues Monica. This one is also good. I can only say "good". It has a bright sound with tension. This is also a pedal that is very easy to play. Low gain, tension-filled effects are really fun to play.

This pedal teaches you the importance of clean. You'll be amazed at the headroom and responsiveness of the distortion. It's difficult to master, but it's worth the effort!

I've been waiting since morning and it's finally here!
Maybe because it was designed to be connected after a fuzz, the clean sound when you turn down the volume is so good it's crazy.
This is the end of the Overdrive journey
