Excellent hand made distortion pedal from 2012. Can be run at either 9 or 18V Bought it used about 10 years ago and was told that this was the more desirable, discontinued version for some reason (probably related to the internally adjustable JFET switch option to customize gain character and levels). Overdrive can be achieved at lower gain settings but this pedal is sought after for the Van Halen smooth sustain at higher gain (Brown Sound In A Box circuit). Original box and detailed instruction manual sheet included Many excellent demo review vids on YouTube - I linked a short one that accurately shows its character. --- additional info --- The CMAT Mods Brownie Distortion pedal produces the "brown sound" overdrive sounds that have been considered the "holy grail" drive tones heard on many classic rock recordings. The Brownie has controls for Gain, Level and Tone. This pedal uses the BSIAB circuit (Officially Licensed). Footprint of a Boss or Ibanez and has a bright blue LED and True Bypass. This distortion pedal sounds like a Marshall on 11. It has great bass and attack response. The Brownie has MILES of sustain and a TON of gain. Pedal is dead quiet with hardly any noise. Comes STANDARD in Copper. Features: • Durable powder coated finish • Davies knobs • Switchcraft jacks • Alpha pots • Blue LED • EH 3DPT true bypass switch • Military grade wiring • Hand picked and matched parts for tone and durability • Works on a 9V Battery or Adapter
