The ELECTRIC LIGHTNING is a meticulously crafted creation tailored to meet the discerning requirements of Chris Buck, who demands a versatile range of tones, from crystal-clear and punchy cleans to beautifully saturated overdrive. This pedal features two distinct sides, each serving a unique purpose in shaping the sonic landscape.
On one side, you'll find a complex valve overdrive equipped with a 3-band EQ, providing a rich and textured palette for crafting your desired overdriven tones. This side is capable of delivering everything from subtle grit to full-blown saturation, ensuring that your sonic needs are met across a broad spectrum.
Complementing the valve overdrive is the high headroom super clean boost on the right side of the pedal. This boost is intelligently designed to run into the valve overdrive, offering a seamless transition between clean and overdriven tones. This arrangement opens up a wealth of tonal possibilities, allowing you to achieve three distinct variations-from a pristine clean boost to a full and fat saturation, all at your fingertips.
One of the standout features of the ELECTRIC LIGHTNING is its responsiveness to your playing dynamics. The pedal is meticulously engineered to clean up flawlessly when adjusting your instrument's volume control. This characteristic makes it an ideal companion for dynamic players who enjoy constantly modulating their playing style, providing an expressive and responsive platform for creative exploration.
In summary, the ELECTRIC LIGHTNING is a pedal that goes beyond meeting expectations; it elevates your playing experience by offering a versatile range of tones, seamless transitions between clean and overdriven sounds, and an unmatched responsiveness to your playing dynamics. Whether you're exploring the realms of pristine cleans or diving into the depths of saturated overdrive, the ELECTRIC LIGHTNING stands as a testament to thoughtful design and sonic excellence.
