Years of research and prototypes examined how all overdrives are related.
We decided to focus on two different sides :
– Anasounds technology of voicing allows you to change the saturation density from a soft and creamy overdrive to a modern and keen one.
– the second effort was with the compression and clipping, in order to define 3 interesting voicings giving different intensities of saturation regardless of the gain setting.
SW_TONE
To adjust the frequency range of your tone potentiometer.
ASYM
Choose whether you want a fifth diode or not on the second position of the clipping selector. Then, you will get asymmetrical clipping.
VOICING/ROLL OFF
The famous setting that changes all the sound of your drive. This is the frequency from which the circuit saturates. Below this frequency, the overdrive only adds volume. Above, it adds dBs and saturation.
LIGHT
Controls light intensity.
GAIN
From clean to saturation.
OUT
Up to + 12dB.
TONE
Initially focused on a medium-high range.
ROTARY SWITCH
1st selector’s position (left) : soft clipping led.
2nd selector’s position (middle) : hard clipping with 4 or 5 small threshold voltage silicon diodes.
3rd step (right) : hard clipping with 2 high threshold voltage silicon diodes.
