Detailed Instructions of the Features and Operation of the Brass Neck Overdrive
Brass Neck - Dirty Boost to Full Gain Overdrive
The aim with the Brass Neck was to create a drive with a flat and wide frequency response with just the right amount of natural compression.
There’s also plenty of volume on tap to drive the front end of your favourite amp. Based around two low noise Opamps and two pairs of Germanium diodes. Tweaking the treble and bass knobs will give a variety of great tones across the full range of the controls. There’s a gentle valve-like compression thanks to the Germanium diodes without sacrificing any frequencies followed by a little mid-range compression which is achieved without creating any mid hump typical of many overdrive pedals. As you may have figured by now this pedal is all about creating the perfect balance, be that compression without sacrificing any frequencies, gain without sacrificing clarity, mid focus without any honk.
Works perfectly as an always-on effect or used for a little (or a lot) extra as needed for solos or louder choruses. Lastly due the power of the EQ it can be used as a gritty through dirty treble boost or bass boost/signal darkener.
