One Control Sonic Blue Twanger Distortion

The Sonic Blue Twanger is another design from the Amp-In-A-Box series by One Control and BJF, designed to reproduce the legendary sound of old Fender Blackface amplifiers. Like most of the BJF designed pedals from One Control, the Sonic Blue Twanger comes in a super compact housing with four simple controls. The Treble control is a tone balance (like on the original amplifiers) which increases and decreases a 'shelved' EQ setting. Volume and Master controls work as pre and post volumes allowing to vary the amount of clean headroom and distortion in the signal. On the side of the pedal is a Rhythm/Lead switch to choose between two gain settings. In Rhythm mode, the pedal provides 18 dB gain (-80 dB noise level), and in Lead mode, the pedal provides 40 dB gain (-74 dB noise level). Whether you are using the Sonic Blue Twanger as a preamp with other overdrive or distortion pedals, or as a stand-alone effect to achieve a more American sound, the Sonic Blue Twanger will take you back to the 'blackface' days at any volume.
