The Have Blue is part of our "Vintage Reimagined" series and is a germanium
Boost pedal that plays nicely with your pedalboard. The Have Blue Boost sound
is based on a highly modified Rangemaster boost circuit for a more versatile
vintage style sound. This boost can give a subtle hair to notes or get loud
and thick in the frequencies you desire. TRANSFORMER: Internally there is a
small transformer to simulate the optimum pickup being present at the front
end of the circuit . This has several benefits, most important of which it
allows you to place your boost wherever you like in the chain of pedals. I
still recommend you place it as early in the chain as possible, but if you
want to be an anarchist and place it at the end... you can. BOOST: Use this
control to balance the output of the boost side of the pedal. There is enough
output in this control to really push the front end of your amplifier. RANGE:
This control sweeps between a bass heavy signal (full counterclockwise) to a
treble heavy signal (full clockwise). The sweet spot for most amps and guitars
will hover between 11 and 2 O’clock, which is mids focussed. Feel free to
experiment though. INTERNAL TRIMPOT: IN 99.9% of cases this is there for
manufacture use only, FYI I like to set my boost slightly asymmetrically so
that one half of the cycle has more headroom than the other, this adds
character and interest to the boost. POWER: The Have Blue is designed to work
at voltages of 9V DC. Unlike some germanium Boosts, the Have Blue uses a
regular polarity input from a quality centre negative power supply.
COMPONENTS: To ensure consistency, reliability, low noise and tonal supremacy
the Have Blue is made with extremely high-quality components.
