INFORMATIONS
1959 TIMEDRIVE is an overdrive pedal designed for
"old tone style" distortions. Ideal for use as both a
signal boost and an overdrive. The characteristic
that distinguishes it is the faithful saturation typical
of the most famous British amplifiers combined with
an impact signal dynamics.
InspiInspired by the "British sound" 1959 TIMEDRIVE
ranges from low to mid-level gain while maintaining
a pleasant feeling like that of historical amplifiers
played at high volume.
DESIGNED AND HANDBUILT IN ITALY

DETAILS
The dual power circuit increases performance to
the point of providing excellent touch benefits with
an amazing sound definition.
Active tone control sculpting sound effectively
allowing you to easily find the sound we have
in mind.
The input stage with parallel double buffer
magicallymagically adapts the input impedance is if you
enter with the guitar (high impedance) or in series
with effects pedal, (low impedance) example,
boost or overdrive.
CICOGNANI SRLS reserves the right to modify
the technical characteristics and layout of the
products at any time and without notice.
ThisThis product is built to the rule of art
and observes the technical requirements of the
Directives Europee 89/366EEC.
GURU ADVISES
1. Use good quality signal cables.
2. Avoid in case of connections with metal angle
jacks that the body of the same is touched with
that of the near pedals.
3. The power is very important. Connect the unit
to a power supply able to supply a stabilized
voltagevoltage between 9 and 12VDC with a current of
at least 100mA in order to obtain the correct
performances.
4. The pedal has a true-bypass switch so as not to
contaminate the sound in case "not active". It is
therefore not necessary to use miraculous buffers
upstream or downstream of 1959 TIMEDRIVE.
