Description
Introducing a drive pedal that embodies the legendary sound of this Austin, Texas Strat master!
His signature drive tone, created through skillful manipulation of vintage equipment, can be expressed with just one unit.
Enjoy the fuzzy, rough, and singingly smooth high-gain sound created with MASTERTONE's rich experience and solid technical expertise!
This guitar was developed with inspiration from a legendary Austin guitarist who produces an incredible tone. After much trial and error, we finally achieved a tone that we were satisfied with, recreating the ultimate tone known as a thick, juicy, and sustained violin tone.
However, because the gain is designed to be quite high, there are problems with noise and oscillation sounds, and fixing these would result in the tone that we had worked so hard to create being lost, so we decided to release it as is.
The situation is as follows. (Controls from left are VOL, TONE, GAIN)
-When using a single coil and the guitar volume is at full volume, there is a lot of noise.
- When the guitar volume is at full, turning the GAIN knob from about 4 o'clock to the right will produce a low-pitched oscillation.
-When the guitar volume is set to zero, turning the GAIN knob from about 2:30 to the right will cause it to oscillate at a low tone.
Setting the GAIN knob to around 2:30 allows for stress-free playing and plenty of violin tone. The gain range is quite wide, so you can create a thicker, wilder distortion, but we recommend setting the GAIN knob to around 4 o'clock until it starts oscillating. Using it in conjunction with delay and reverb creates a really nice atmosphere.
In order to respect the legend, we also gave it a 54 burst look with lacquer!
