I'm selling my back up #496 never stomp on it.
Very rare and sought after Human Gear Animato famously used by Chris Wolstenholme on the first 4 albums of Muse. Works fine with a standard Boss PSA Adapter.
The Animatio is a unique Sounding Distortion Pedal for Guitar and Bass. It features a Volume, Tone and Gain control which allow you to shape your tone. There is a lot of distortion if you want it and Soundwise it will be quite different than other distortion/overdrive pedals.
It's a pretty rare box from the Far East. Human Gear, the brand, actually makes a large array of boxes, yet the brand is relatively unknown. Unknown, that is, until Muse’s Chris Wolstenholme got ahold of one and used it as his always-on tone. The brainchild of Human Gear is Hiroshi Yagi, and the company’s pedals have stuck to a few design tenets: Aesthetically, they’re all the same—relatively no-frills. They’re a dull yellow think MXR Script Distortion+ and feature a plain black font for model name, controls and jacks. The insides of all Human Gear pedals are built to withstand the apocalypse, as the circuit boards are fortified within large bricks of epoxy, making them impervious to cloners and whomever else. The Animato is a pretty dynamic fuzz with the same controls as a Big Muff—though it’s not a Big Muff. Utilizing a germanium front end, the Animato can get spongy before the silicon section shreds the signal. The Tone control is much improved, as it is a tilt type—the same kind found in immeasurably expensive hi-fi tube amps. The price might turn some players away, but it is a pretty original sound.
