Pause & Effects Thalassa - Germanium clipping overdrive

Medium gain op amp based overdrive pedal with soft LED + germanium diode clipping and active Baxandall tone stack. Suitable for electric guitar and bass.

NOS Germanium OA1150 diodes. Printed circuit board (PCB).

The controls:

• Gain: the amount of overdrive from clean to dirty. Starts to overdrive at around 10 o'clock. At maximum gain it's almost fuzzy. The LEDs give the overdrive an open feel, whereas the germanium diodes give it compression and a touch of fizz towards maximum gain. Very responsive to picking.
• Volume: output volume
• Bass/Treble: Active bass/treble control, at 12 o'clock it does not cut or boost bass/treble frequencies. Clockwise it boosts bass/treble frequencies, anti-clockwise it cuts bass/treble frequencies. To achieve mid frequency boost, lower both bass and treble and increase volume. To achieve mid cut, boost both bass and treble and lower volume.

Matt white powder coated aluminum 125B size die-cast box. True bypass. Operates on center negative 9V power supply only. Hand built in Hungary.
