The Morning Glory Clean is a logical evolution of the classic Morning Glory overdrive. The goal was to further improve transparency, dynamics, and attack without losing its familiar character. At its core is a completely redesigned circuit with a studio-quality parallel clean blend, combining the harmonics, subtle compression, and punch of the overdrive with the full bass and dynamic range of the clean signal.
The clean control isn't a simple mix control; it's an integral part of the circuit. A dual potentiometer ensures that the clean and drive signals blend proportionally and in phase across all gain settings—without any volume jumps. The tone control affects only the overdrive path; the clean signal remains unchanged at all times. A ±9V dual power supply provides significantly more headroom than classic Bluesbreaker circuits, delivering a clear, open sound at any volume.
The Morning Glory Clean is suitable as a first overdrive stage, as a dynamic always-on sound, before distortion or delay pedals, and before amp modelers. Thanks to the clean blend control, it's also versatile for bass. This pedal is aimed at players who aren't looking for a radically new sound, but rather maximum quality, directness, and immediately usable sounds without unnecessary features.
