LIMITED EDITION
There was something almost magical about
the “black panel” ampliers of the 1960’s...
Volume: Controls the total output volume. Turning clockwise increases.
Gain: Adjusts the total amount of gain that is applied, turning this control
clockwise will increase the amount.
Bass / Middle / Treble: Adjust the amount of low-end / high-end frequencies to
shape the gain stages, emulating the tonestack of classic 1960s “black panel”
style amplier, turning clockwise will increase the levels, counter clockwise to
decrease.
Boost Switch: Toggles between lower and higher gain mode.
Power: This pedal was designed around the usage of a 9-18V DC power source
only. To avoid damage to the pedal, do not exceed 18V DC, do not use center
pin positive adapters, and do not use AC power. Use only a 9V DC power source
that is intended for guitar pedals. This pedal draws approximately 2mA at 9V
and 3mA at 18V.
With a 3 band eq similar to a vintage ”black panel” amplier’s, you’re able to
sculpt the tonality, feel, compression, and overall gain structure just like you
would on the real tube amp it’s emulating. All this in a compact pedal that
works great with any amplier or even direct into your favorite cabinet sim
or IR loader.
The Boost switch controls the amount of internal gain available to the pedal -
handy when dealing with different guitar output levels or just as some extra grunt
to push this into primitive breakup - very similar to high levels of rectication
that became the trademark tonal quality of a famous Californian boutique amp
manufacturer.
