Studio Daydream Fetbox Custom V8 Overdrive Pedal
A compact pedal that simulates the pre-amp of a boutique 30W tube amp. The FETBOX, which has been produced to be a long-selling product, has been reborn as the FETBOX CUSTOM by significantly changing the circuit structure, in order to make it easier to handle and to have a balance that is faithful to the tube sound.
The exterior operation unit is the same as the old model, but the style of sound and the operational feeling of the tone stack have massively evolved. Compared to those using vacuum tubes and transformers, it is smaller, lighter, and can be easily incorporated into a pedalboard, resulting in a sound that comes close to a tube amp which you wouldn't imagine judging from its small appearance.
With CH2, you can create a wide range of sounds by adjusting the original TREBLE/BASS, and enjoy the finest crunch/overdrive sound. It is made to be a versatile pedal that works well with both singles and hums, and even your transistor amp can be transformed into a tube-like sound.
By moving the HI GAIN switch to the up position, the gain can be increased even more to increase distortion, sustain, and low frequencies. Even with CLEAN CH, the gain increases, but unnecessary distortion is added, so it is an option you can use when mainly using CH2.
* The tone control unit is exclusively for CH2.
Bypass switch
When the pedal is powered off, the mechanical relay control automatically switches to bypass state.
If the pedal is powered on again, it resumes to the state it was in when the pedal powered off.
Voltage monitoring function
The unit constantly monitors input voltage. When voltage is a certain level above or below 9V, the LED flashes and the unit automatically reverts to bypass state.
Please check your power supply voltage.
