Developed as part of the FX Teacher concept, it delivers familiar amp-pushing tones while allowing players to adjust clipping and filtering stages to suit their own style.Used with gain low and level high, it tightens the low end and pushes an already driven amp for greater definition and mix presence. Increasing the gain adds smooth, harmonically rich saturation. The clipping and voicing options make it possible to move from traditional 1N914 diode compression to higher headroom LED clipping, alternative diode combinations, or even a clean boost with no diodes engaged.The front panel keeps operation straightforward with OUT, GAIN and TONE controls, plus VOICING and CLIPPING switches. The TONE control follows the familiar 808 filter style, while VOICING selects between the original response, a user-chosen capacitor option, or a more pronounced high-mid setting. Inside, terminal blocks allow capacitors and diodes to be swapped with a screwdriver, and trimpots provide fine frequency adjustments for those who want deeper control.The 100% analogue circuit offers strong headroom equivalent to an 18V dynamic range from a standard 9V supply. With 1.3MΩ input impedance and 146Ω output impedance, it integrates easily into most rigs. A robust metal enclosure, gold-plated 3PDT true bypass footswitch and Lumberg DC jack ensure reliable performance on stage or in the studio.CONTROLSFOOTSWITCH: Engages or bypasses the effect with true bypass switchingOUT: Sets overall output level from unity to strong boostGAIN: Adjusts saturation from clean boost to full overdriveTONE: 808-style filter shaping brightness and mid focusVOICING: Original, custom capacitor, or enhanced high-mid responseCLIPPING: Stock diodes, custom diodes, or diode-free clean boostBASS TRIMPOT: Adds low-frequency gain in upper voicing modeCUSTOM TRIMPOT: Boosts selected capacitor band in custom modeCOMPONENTS AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS100% analogue 808-inspired overdrive circuit18V dynamic range from standard 9V supplyTrue bypass via gold-plated 3PDT footswitchExchangeable diodes and capacitors via terminal blocksInput impedance 1.3MΩOutput impedance 146ΩLumberg DC jackDesigned and manufactured in FrancePowered by standard 9V centre negative supply (not included)Battery operation not supportedCurrent draw measured with Truetone 1Spot mA Meter:Bypass: Approximately 11 mAEngaged (maximum): Approximately 39 mACurrent draw may vary slightly depending on control settings, circuit behaviour, and active features such as gain stages, modulation, filtering, or reverb tails. For best performance, use a high quality isolated power supply that matches the pedal’s current requirements. Always refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations, as incorrect powering may cause damage.ENCLOSURE DIMENSIONSLength: 119 mm / 4.7 inWidth: 63 mm / 2.5 inHeight : 42 mm / 1.6 inWEIGHT295 g0.65 lbsOFFICIAL UK DEALERSFX Pedal Planet Limited and FX Pedal Planet Online Store proudly serve as official UK dealers for Anasounds products.
