About this listing
Rare and discountinued Great sounding pedal which can be ran at 9 up to 18 v Vick Audio Mount Pleasant is a modified reproduction of the iconic 1990s Marshall Bluesbreaker circuit. It was explicitly engineered to address the common player complaints associated with the original vintage units.Internal Architecture & Tonal ProfileThe Core Chip: Unlike modern clones that frequently use generic op-amps, the Mount Pleasant utilizes the premium JRC4558D op-amp chip. This component provides highly responsive, touch-sensitive compression that cleans up smoothly with your guitar's volume adjustments.Fixing Vintage Flaws: Original Bluesbreakers are notorious for a severe volume drop at lower gain settings and an overly bright top end. Builder Mike Vickery modified the tone stack and output stage to guarantee tons of clean headroom and ample volume boost past unity gain.Musical Transparency: It behaves less like an aggressive distortion pedal and more like an extension of your amplifier. It introduces a transparent, articulate mid-range bump without sounding harsh or nasal.The 3-Way High Cut Toggle SwitchThe prominent mini-toggle labeled HC-1 / NC / HC-2 directly alters the high-frequency response of the pedal, making it adaptable to single-coil or humbucker guitars:NC (No Cut): The stock, completely unmodified circuit behavior. It delivers maximum clarity and high-frequency sparkle.HC-1 (High Cut 1): Aggressively rolls off the sharpest high-end frequencies. It is ideal for smoothing out overly bright single-coil bridge pickups or managing shrillness at high stage volumes.HC-2 (High Cut 2): Introduces a moderate treble roll-off that is less restrictive than HC-1. This setting provides a mellow, dark "blanket" effect that works well for rhythm tracking or tracking bass guitars.Hardware ConstructionHand-Wired Quality: Built inside a durable, compact aluminum housing utilizing high-end Neutrik audio jacks and premium 3PDT true bypass switches.
