SolidGoldFX Commodore
BluesBreaker-Style Low to Mid-Gain Overdrive Drive
SolidGoldFX are back with the second instalment of retro themed slider laden stomp boxes - the Commodore Overdrive! Inspired by, the classic Marshall BluesBreaker and crossbred with Solid Gold FX's beloved Imperial MKII, Solid Gold FX's are excited to present you with this wonderfully versatile and natural sounding drive.
So, what is the Marshall BluesBreaker and what makes it so awesome? The Marshall BluesBreaker was released in the early 90's alongside the ShredMaster and DriveMaster pedals. Offered in the large black box format, it was aimed at capturing the crunch and breakup of the earlier model 1962 JTM45 based combo amp famously dubbed the Bluesbreaker after be-ing used by Eric Clapton during his time with John Mayall and the Blues Breakers. The pedal offered a beautiful and natural sounding overdrive and has since become a favourite amongst builders and players alike, with original units now fetching close to 4 figures.
The Commodore offers a fresh spin on an old-school heavyweight by mating a specially tuned, low to mid-gain BB style drive circuit with the super sculpting output section of the Imperial MkII. Carefully selected component values and asymmetric clipping offer an organic and natural sounding drive ranging from sweet and mellow to hot and spicy, while the Tone and Con-tour sliders allow you to dial in anything from black panel spank to Vox-ey chime and British growl.
Set the Drive down low for tone sculpting or boost applications or crank it up for some extra sizzle. Use the Tone and Contour sliders to accentuate or scoop your highs, mids or lows and stack it with other fuzzes or drives for extra flavor and variety. You can power it from any standard negative center 9 V DC power supply or up the voltage to 18 V DC for extra headroom.
Finally, the Commodore package is complete with dual LED indicators, top jacks, true-bypass switching and of course, the retro sliders with vintage inspired artwork.
Power
The Commodore requires a centre-negative 9VDC power adapter with at least 10mA of current (not included). Almost all power supplies meet this requirement, but check yours beforehand.
