Jim Dunlop M133 MXR Micro Amp Pedal, White

Product Information

And with the one at the end it doesn't matter how many overdrives are on I still get a boost in volume without any added gain. That is important if you want to match the bypass level when you use the EQ to roll-off frequencies. the MXR Innovations Micro Amp is a clean boost pre‑amplifier providing up to a significant 26dB of signal gain. Power: Single 9-volt battery or Dunlop ECB-003 AC Adapter - Controls: Footswitch toggles amp on/bypass (red LED indicates on) Gain knob adjusts total output volume when the Micro Amp is engaged. The Micro Amp+ builds on that classic pedal with EQ controls and other upgrades that take this powerful boost box to the next level.

When you bring the knob up around 3 o'clock it adds a little gain but not too much to colour the sound, enough to boost your tone with a little added grit. Dirty sounds: You can use a clean boost to drive the front of an amp that is on the edge of distortion right off the cliff and can switch it in and out via footswitch.This neat little box, which is surprisingly heavy for its size, provides a flexible amount of volume/gain suitable for overdriving an amp or just boosting clean volume. This tried-and-tested classic can be used in a number of interesting ways to add gain and volume to your playing. The circuit isn’t intended to colour the tone and it doesn’t as far as I can tell, meaning that the essential blend of guitar and amp tone is retained. Those tapers make the controls less sensitive around the null areas and more so towards the ends of their travel so it is possible to easily center up the controls and have them virtually disappear from the signal. Se puede colocar al principio de la cadena de gain (o distorsiones) para darle diversos toques al sonido se overdrives, añadir sustain o hacer un increíble treble boost.

Overdrive your amp or boost your tone for lead and split for two guitars to compensate between different output levels.

The pedal worked great when I tested it with the battery, and it still works having wired it up to the switch! Overdrives and treble boosters would bend the frequency response which, in this case, is not desired. As with all MXR pedals, this simple unit is housed in a bullet-proof casing and features an excellent quality switch.

It also works perfectly with no scratchy pots and, unsurprisingly, only a little hum when on full gain. Lead sounds: You can push up the gain on a medium-gain amp and raise the volume for leads via a footswitch. Kit is available with a standard sized 1590B enclosure with battery, or a mini 1590A (36 x 90mm) enclosure with DC power only, though be aware that you'll be wiring in a very confined space. With the sturdy housing and durable components that MXR is known for, this pedal is ready for the road.The Tweed Deluxe was clearly designed to match the frequency spectrum of Fender’s single coil pickups and it does so marvelously. The sound quality of this version easily exceeds the original, taking it far into the boutique pedal realm. Here is how you do it with a clean boost in front of a tube amplifier: First, get your basic clean sound with the boost out of the chain. Put it after drives and you get a boost for solos, but put it in front of an overdrive and be amazed at the new range of sounds you can achieve with that overdrive.
