Inspired by vintage RCA data sheets from the 1950’s, this is a 2-stage gain circuit utilizing NOS Germanium and modern day silicon transistors.
These hand-wired pedals crank out the vintage warmth and sustain of Germanium along with a biting upper midrange that screams Rock n Roll. A single knob controls output, and true bypass switching makes it great for stacking with other effects.
Features:
- Hybrid circuit with NOS germanium & silicon transistors
- Warm vintage feel and harmonic sustain, with dynamic touch response
- Great for stacking with other effects, very reactive to volume roll-off
- 2-year warranty, all hand wired, with true bypass
- 9-volt DC using external power supply – no battery
