passive "unboost"

Post by dylan »

simplest pedal ever, but its my favorite clean boost.

a volume and bass cut that i switch off for a boost. (and the light goes on when you switch it off).

just checked, the ehx signalpad.... great idea but so simple to actually make. And cheap.

" It's like your guitar's volume knob, with a fully-passive and color-free circuit. " its probably true bypass too hahaha.

Awesome.

Doesn't colour your tone or anything? (Other than how you want it too obviously lol)

just the normal treble suck of a volume control. the bass cut is to compensate for it.

Obviously i could just learn to use my guitar volume controls better, but im a singing guitar player and its hard enough to operate pickup selector and stomps - altering volume knobs while singing is just too difficult for me.
