Keep an ear out when the sun goes down. You’ll hear the coyotes.

Rustling, yips, barks, howls—every noise they make is unique. They’re wild, they’re different.

So here’s the deal with the Palomar Sound coyote: Two metal can transistors team up to overload a pair of silicon diodes, followed by a third stage to slam your amp. It adds sparkle, it adds grit, it gets loud, it gets mean.
