About this deal

The very different frequency responses on bolts with single versus gibbies with buckers means the perceived level may never really match up, but if you're just trying to get them to tickle V1 in your amp similarly it may help. However, with their increased gain and rolled-off high end, humbucker pickups can make the amp sound a bit “woofy. Also, if you adjust your gain just right, just a little higher, you’ll be able to go in and out of grind by increasing and decreasing the power of your picking attack. Like you, though, I'd debate the merits of such a device on grounds that I don't see much point in trying to make different guitars sound the same.

You’ll notice more character and overtones in your sound because the amp is generating even-number harmonics in the soft zone of distortion.Adding a preset amount of gain with just a single control, the Micro Amp is a great way to boost your signal for lead work or adjust between two different guitars with unmatched output (i. Andertons Music Company is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, firm registration number 716155.

The sound quality of this version easily exceeds the original, taking it far into the boutique pedal realm. And with the one at the end it doesn't matter how many overdrives are on I still get a boost in volume without any added gain. It also works perfectly with no scratchy pots and, unsurprisingly, only a little hum when on full gain.While I initially pursued it for a couple of particular applications, it soon became clear that this is one of those devices that is extremely useful and flexible and can come in handy for hundreds of small but vital applications. I have a lot of overdrives on my board due to playing in covers band and the need for multiple different sounds. Power: Single 9-volt battery or Dunlop ECB-003 AC Adapter - Controls: Footswitch toggles amp on/bypass (red LED indicates on) Gain knob adjusts total output volume when the Micro Amp is engaged.

Not a tone of output on paper, but DCR is not the be-all-end-all of output and out-front-ness, because that guitar wants to rock hard and stand out with the vocal as something the audience (when there is one) wants, no. The Gain control works similarly: there’s plenty of subtle travel down near the bottom, allowing you to use the Gain control for fine gain makeup. It is a nice transparent push when you like more of your Class A amp without messing on volumes, or having an overdriven setup and cleaning the signal with the guitar pot.Full kit: As above, plus footswitch and appropriate daughterboard/components for your selected bypass type (see Downloads section for details of those), jack sockets, DC socket, battery snap, hook-up wire, LED. Therefore, please bear in mind that "live performance" is the perspective from which the rest of this review is written, as I have never bothered to use this pedal in a recording context--since two different guitar signals recorded on different tracks can be blended to taste during mixdown, with levels raised or lowered accordingly.
