My little Americano drive project.

[Vasshu the humanoid typhoon]

A two channel drive, with a few nice options, it likes Fender amps, have tested it alot on my Blues Deville 4x10 blonde combo, used the 4x10 speakers with the CM 50 combo as well, even the Hiwatt liked it.
Never mind the colour, it is just a prototype, and I just wanted to have a white pedal among all those black ones I make
Think smooth, fat, and alittle more hotrodded Fenderlike stuff, more low mids and rolled off highs, a nice bite in the lower range, will make a clip soon, we have British flavours en masse, but not much in the American vein...which I think is a mistake

good project ... everyone needs an American style OD, and people expect versatility now as well

Re: My little Americano drive project.

sounds like a cool project?!?!

Re: My little Americano drive project.

Sweet! So if you have this + a Plexitone, you could do anything!

 

[Vasshu the humanoid typhoon]

Re: My little Americano drive project.

Plexitone, AC-Tone, and this one
That should cover it..lol nah this one is like the others, give it the amp that it resembels and it will become an extension.
The extra switches are for different filterings in the bottom and overall tone.

Well here is a clip, I used a Fender Blues DeVille, an old blonde one from the 90's, stock all the way.
Guitar is my Kramer Pacer Deluxe.

Re: My little Americano drive project.

Wow! In my mind, I always think Fender amp + high gain = slop. You have changed that with this pedal. Very nice tone!

What do the toggle switches do?

Re: My little Americano drive project.

Nice, Rid. Real nice. That sounds great through that amp.

Fender's with built-in gain turn to slop IMO but when they're clean and pushed with a good OD or distortion like this, they sound great. I once saw Neil Schon pushing a Twin with a Blues Driver. It sounded incredible, and I was front row center smack in front of the amp.

Thanks guys

What do the toggle switches do?

Well you can hear me change them around, the control the tone filter cap and the bottom filter cap, so it can go from more crisp to all fat and round.

Nothing it is just a prototype
And like most of our prototypes, it is just unmarked.
