OVERDRIVE OVERVIEW
The Golden Boy is based on the Bluesbreaker/King of Tone circuit, so the resulting
tone is very open, uncompressed and transparent sounding. Think John Mayer
overdriven tones. The Golden Boy sits in the mix perfectly and while it adds
overdrive and grit, your guitar still sounds like your guitar!
Where the Golden Boy differs from other Bluesbreaker type circuits is that it has
the ability to run much higher gain and instantly switch to a low gain transparent
overdrive with a tap of the footswitches. With four gain settings at your feet while
you play, you can use the GOLDEN BOY as an always on tone shaper, a low gain
transparent overdrive, a mid gain drive or a high gain solo drive all without
bending down to adjust settings! With the GOLDEN BOY, you keep playing and use
your foot (or MIDI) to adjust the gain for you!
CLIPPING DIODE PRESETS
The GOLDEN BOY allows for 4 different presets of clipping diodes which
themselves drastically alter the tone and feel of the way the overdrive clips and
could ever desire! Quiet or Crackle.
The choice is yours!
STND BOOST
– Our version of the
MOSFET boost. Same tone, no
noise.
ALT BOOST
– Modified version of
the MOSFET boost. Same tone,
slightly more gain, crackles when
you turn the knob.
