Futile Art FX 🇬🇧 British Gentleman AC30 Overdrive

A clone of Lovepedal Englishman / English Gent Vox-in-a-box Overdrive pedal in a tasty Charlie's Golden Factory Chocolate Brownie Metallic finish! 😋

Pretty unique circuit that simulates many tones produced by classic AC line of amplifiers right before the amp fries. Without a doubt, these vintage wonders sound best CRANKED and on the verge of failure, turning them into a large ovens... Luckily, now you can get that cranked AC30 tone at any time - freely and safely!

The unit will also enhance the sound of any amplifier without altering the tone of your guitar. The Gentleman has the ability to act as a super clean dynamic boost, semi clean boost, or with the Volume & Gain pushed higher it is capable of pushing any amp into beautiful harmonic breakup, overdrive and distortion. 🔥

With 3 modes of failure the “FAIL” switch embarks new worlds of natural overdrive and downright amplifier distortion in a good way. It flat out screams if you want it to or not, just like the original 60's English amplifiers of a time gone by! 🧐

Capable of up to 18V operation for even more headroom, output volume and iconic British growl! 💪

Controls are:
Vol. (Volume) - sets the output Volume of an effect. Should be self explanatory...
Gain - controls the amount of Break-Up. Easy too, right?! 🤪
Fail Switch - is a 3-way mechanical selector, flicking between the thunderous AC30, neutrally open, and more submissive AC15 break-up!

Features:
- You support the builder! Each and every penny spends on parts for more complex builds! (You are always buying from the builder direct or through one of the members of FAFX family, I am saving to start building amps currently...)
