Artikelnummer 1076237Low-gain OD / VariOboost
The Tribute is an all-analog circuit that combines an extremelyexpressive high-headroom drive engine with a powerfuland flexible tone control. The back end of the Tribute payshomage to one of our oldest designs, the VariOboost. Thiscircuit gives you a supercharged one-band parametric EQin lieu of a tone control for some serious studio-esque tonesculpting power.Playing rhythm? Dial in a low-mids grunt and boost that bandfor some fat chords. Playing leads? Flip that thing and injectsome sparkle into your sound. Want to fake a cocked wahpedal to nail your cover of “Money for Nothing”? Want tosimulate some Peter Green-esque out-of-phase pickups?Want your single-coils to sound like humbuckers? What aboutthe other way around? The Tribute can do all that and more.The core of the Tribute is an exacting buffer followed by a drive circuit that is governed by a dual-gangpotentiometer. This means that the Drive knob affects two parameters at once: clean blend and overdrivegain. When Drive is down, you get your pristinely buffered clean signal with a gentle treble filter. Whenit’s up, maximum gain is achieved with no clean signal present. Anywhere in between gives you acarefully balanced clean-drive combo.
