Compressor

The Boost ‘n’ Buff is a booster and a buffer pedal that should be an essential on every pedal board, whether to keep your original guitar tone intact or to boost the signal in three different ways; FULL, MID and TREBLE. The super quiet, Class A (single transistor) design provides a huge 35dB boost when engaged and acts as an ultra high input impedance buffer (5MΩ!) in bypass mode

Boost `n´ Buff

The backbone of the Cross Over Drive is four FET transistors designed to capture the response and touch-sensitivity of an amp’s organic overdrive. But making a FET stage behave like a particular tube stage is actually a very complex affair and is not a simple substitute like most other FET-based preamp circuits. Our experience in designing valve amplifiers at MI Audio has seen us obsess over every minute detail of the Cross Over Drive’s circuit from operating points, dynamic range, scaling of clipping thresholds, output impedances, intrinsic capacitances due to the Miller Effect… you get the idea! This obsession has led to an original pedal design like no other that becomes a natural extension of your guitar, amp and playing style.

The most coveted guitar tones are those where the guitar, player and amplifier work as one. Every attack on the guitar string, be it by plectrum or finger pick, legato to down-stroke, neck or bridge pickup –all provide a different tone and feel that traditional overdrive pedals can struggle to capture. This response has been the driving force behind the design of the Cross Over Drive and this attention to detail is what sets it apart from the pack.

The Lo-Fi delay is a unique take on the analog/digital hybrid design. Built around the PT2399 chip, the secret to its tone starts with the filtering derived from the cherished analog delays of yesteryear. The Hi/Lo switch gives you access to two types of filter cutoffs for a ‘natural’ analog sound, or a darker and warmer echo tone.

Speaking of creativity, one thing which really sets the Lo-Fi apart from its peers is the incredible modulation section. Not only are the standard Rate and Depth controls easily accessible on the outside of the pedal, but a waveform switch allows you to choose from a triangle or square wave modulation. Choose triangle wave with low Rate and Depth settings for a convincing faux tape echo, or a square wave with a higher Depth for a glitchy 8-bit computer effect. Warbles and stepped, pseudo pitch-shifting are the Lo-Fi‘s speciality.

Lo-Fi Delay

The Blues Pro’s classic three-knob design is now bigger and better! All of the variables of this modified TS design are now on the face of the pedal for the ultimate in low/mid-gain tone-shaping. A plethora of overdrive tones await: Be it a low-gain boost, a harmonic blues solo tone or super-compressed fuzz – all can be dialled and switched in with the new expanded feature set. The classic compressed, mid-hump overdrive of the original is still there but is now surrounded by many more options for you to find your custom overdrive tone!

Perhaps the most exciting feature of the Super Blues Pro is the presence of two toggle switches that control the pair of soft-clipping diodes in the circuit. Each switch provides a choice of SILICON, MOSFET or NONE, with each combination giving different clipping symmetry, therefore different boosted harmonics. Each clipping combination also affects the output volume, attack of the signal and compressions allowing you to tailor an overdrive for your needs. For a compressed and throaty overdrive like the original, go for SILICON. If you want a more open OD and brighter attack, try out the MOSFETs, or find a blend in between. Using NONE is perfect for a low-gain boost to drive the front-end of your amp if natural tube overdrive is your sound.
