FULLTONE USA PLIMSOUL MKII overdrive

FULLTONE USA PLIMSOUL MKII overdriveDistortion pedals usually offer two clipping choices: Soft Clipped or Hard Clipped. Soft Clipped pedals, like Tube Screamers or Full Drive 2, get their distortion by using diodes placed in the feedback loop of their Op Amps and give a cleaner, more compressed, low to medium gained overdrive sound. Hard Clipped pedals like RAT or OCD use diodes tied to ground or, unique to the OCD v2, Mosfets that are tied to the half way point between 9v and ground,

Distortion pedals usually offer two clipping choices: Soft-Clipped or Hard-Clipped. Soft-Clipped pedals, like Tube Screamers or Full-Drive 2, get their distortion by using diodes placed in the feedback loop of their Op-Amps and give a cleaner, more compressed, low-to-medium gained overdrive sound. Hard-Clipped pedals like RAT or OCD use diodes tied to ground or, unique to the OCD v2, Mosfets that are tied to the half-way point between 9v and ground, offering a more natural sounding distortion. The PlimSoul is the only pedal to offer both Soft &Hard clipping with separate control over each. The PlimSoul's unique, independent dual-stage clipping circuit was designed to replicate not only the sound, but the feel of a tube amp with its subtleties and complexities. - Input Impedance increased from 500k to 700K+ ohms for even better interaction with guitar's Volume knob. - Top-Mounted Jacks and external power port. - Soft-Clipping (Stage 1) and Hard-Clipping (Stage 2) are now truly-independent, allowing for aggressive, punchy gain with the Hard-Clipping knob turned up even while the Soft-Clipping knob is turned down! - Hard clipping now uses two Germanium Diodes, instead of LEDs...it's a night-and-day improvement! - Loss-less Bass switch, located just before the Hard-Clipping in the circuit, giving the ability for tight, percussive distortion that's not muddy. - Treble control now offers plenty of brightness when turned up. The Soft-Clipping stage is extremely Asymmetrical, the Hard-Clipping stage is Symmetrical, dial-in infinite combinations of the two. The Fulltone PlimSoul mkII is Hand-Built in the U.S.A. using top-notch, full size components, many of which are designed by and exclusively for Fulltone.
