Champion City Effects Cosmic Owl 2016 Acid Etched/Metallic Black

You may not know us here at Champion City Effects. We are a relatively new boutique effects pedal company that builds various pedals by hand from start to finish. No hand propagated PCB's here, everything is done start to finish on stripboard. We build high quality pedals, some of which are clones, other are modified versions of various pedals. Each pedal is handmade to order, so even though it says we have 10 in stock, we will build yours specifically for you when you order.

The Cosmic Owl is our take on a classic tan and black 2 knob IC based distortion widely used many guitarist since the 70's, but with a fairly large amount of changes.

Unlike the original we added an active two band bandaxall tone stack that allows you to not just cut bass and treble, but to actually boost the frequencies. Next we looked at how we could improve the overall tone of distortion. We worked hard to increase the over low end, change the clipping diodes to Germanium to give a smoother more compressed distortion, and lastly we auditioned many, and I mean many different ICs for the distortion to get the clearest distortion we could and remove the odd artifacts when you let notes ring out that plague the original.
