Notwithstanding the affordable price tag, the Triumph doesn’t lack the qualities that made the company’s fortunes: tone and flexibility, in particular in the 3-way EQ section, a useful feature often missing from boutique pedals in this price range.
The Triumph also offers a 2-Voice toggle that delivers the character of the two previously mentioned pedals

Smooth mode, voiced after the BOSS SD-1, delivers more clarity and a less compressed sound.
