C-Tech Sonny Boy Blues Modeler Rare Overdrive Distortion Boost CTech SansAmp Variant

The blues is about feeling emotion and tone. It's simple, it's low tech and it's definitely not programmable. It's about bad gigs, bad whisky and no money. Every night there is an equipment problem, and every night you deal with it as best you can. As bad as you feel, you still make it sound good.
Sophisticated, high tech equipment has noth'n to do with it. Howlin Wolf didn't need never ban expensive mic to make the hair on the back of your neck standup; Albert King didn't need 15 simultaneous digital effects to scare up his haunting guitar tone.

Think about it; how can anybody seriously play "Somebody loan me a dime" Through some over priced, plastic, high tech, glitzy, impossible to figure out, one size fits all foot pedal.
Check out a Sonny Boy pedal. Its's straight forward and simple just like the Blues. It gives you tone, and noth'n but tone. In fact: Muddy might even have played with a Sonny Boy.

SONNY BOY IS THE BLUES SONNY BOY ON STAGE Got a club gig where they won't let you play your amp loud enough to make it growl. No problem, turn your amp down low, and use Sonny Boy for all your tone. Or better yet, run Sonny Boy direct through the PA. You dig a particular setting on the Sonny boy, and want to record it, no problem run it direct into recorder.

Anywhere you go or whatever equipment you use, Sonny Boy will make it sound good. Sonny boy can't finger the chord or bend the strings, but he can guarantee the sound will be pure, natural and authentic as the blues.

Features and Controls:

Tone Controls:

Gain: Crank it up for maximum sustain, harmonics and grit, or back it off a bit for a chunkier R&B feel . Use it in conjunction with presence control to emphasize particular frequencies, and control the harmonic content.

Presence: Highly sensitive EQ that lets you move from the bright highs and crisp tones of powerful open back cabinet amps t o the rich, full tones of closed back combos.

Output: Allows you to control the output level of the signal sent to the tape player, amp, mixer, PA or any other sequential device.

50's / 60's: Gain boost that increases sustain and harmonics for additional edge and pick attack on lead riffs; gives you that big stack concert sound. In off position you get a flatter, 50's like tonal response and a more full-bodied R&B tone.

Tonal Selections:

Roadhouse - Thick, gutty, honky tonk blues sound of a small, hard driven, amp in a small, hard drink'n, club.

Stone Crazy - Razor sharp front end attack and a bong full of high end response. Must be over 18 to use this setting.

Moneymaker - Warm rich and smooth, just like a hundred dollar bill in your pocket.

Red Rooster - Sneaky, back door tone with extra mid range boost, and a cocky attitude.

Double Trouble - The classic, my baby left me, lost my job, get out of my way I'm head'n to the bar, blues tone.

Back Scratcher - Haughty, the sky is cry'n, tone with a touch of mid range and a little high end itch.

Boogie Chillin - Moody, with just right amount of low end to get that sweet little angel to boogie all night long.

Texas Flood - Forget the sandbags. This setting overflows with presence, and thick, chunky low end drive.

Chicken Shack - Fat, high cholesterol blues with greasy mid range roll off and finger lick'n good pick attack.

Electric Mud - Chicago blues like tone with a smoky mid range and plenty of bar room thump.
