three knob control layout with a push/pull tone knob for a second Fat Harmonics
voice. With the Tone control pushed in the Direct Drive brings the classic tones of the past to veteran players
then simply pull the tone knob for modern fat harmonic tones...KILLER!
High quality components- Players have requested the use of carbon resistors, metalized polyester caps Elna silk particulate audio caps. These components were thought to be only available on the highest priced pedals. Players asked, and we deliver...no problem, no exaggerated "boutique builder" pricing.
-
- Ready for 18 volt operation-The Direct Drive operates from 9 volts to
18 volts, this allows use of higher voltage converters and supplies, for
players who want to try higher voltage tweaks.
- Barber adjustable phono style recovery stage- Most of our op-amp based overdrive pedals use a cool old style phonograph circuit to recover the frequencies lost in the overdrive stage, this worked great for vinyl and now works great for guitar overdrive!
