With NAMM 2017 kicking off bright and early in Anaheim on Thursday, Chase Bliss Audio unveiled their new overdrive pedal called the Brothers Analog Gainstage. A design collaboration between Chase Bliss and Resonant Audio Design, this pedal is absolutely packed with features – it does almost everything.
The Brothers Analog Gainstage features two separate channels that can be stacked or mixed in parallel. Both channels feature an overdrive and fuzz with Channel A featuring a JFET based boost and Channel B featuring an IC based boost. Both channels feature a momentary engage/kill mode.
The pedal is packed with other features including 33 different savable routing patterns, 130 savable presets – two onboard, six via the "faves" switch, and 122 via MIDI. This pedal can also be operated as a true bypass pedal or a buffered bypass pedal by the flip of the dip switch.
For a closer look at the pedal, check out our demo of the pedal above. The Brothers Analog Gainstage will retail for $349, and preorders start on February 20th, so start pinching those pennies.
