Features
Input and output : 1/4 inch phone jacks. Power supply : 9V DC adapter Jack (standard Boss type), the pedal can also be powered with an internal 9V battery (PP3/006P). Current consumption : 60 mA (MAX) approx.
The green side of the «New Paradigm» overdrive features 3 potentiometers for OUTPUT level, DRIVE, and HI-CUT which acts as a presence control. It also features 3 tone shaping switches : a bass, a resonance and a brightness switch, for tremendous tonal polyvalence. The pedal is activated via a true bypass footswitch.
The orange side of the «New Paradigm» overdrive adds a pre-gain stage to the pedal’s circuit. This stage enables more tonal combinations and can be activated via its dedicated footswitch. It features a PRE-GAIN control and a full/mid switch.
Whilst the green side of the pedal is reminiscent of a tube amp, the orange side can be considered as more classic «overdrive-like» sounding, adding sustain while still retaining your guitar’s dynamics extremely well.
Combining and mixing PRE-GAIN and DRIVE will allow different tone flavors. To use the orange side for a more classic overdrive sound : back down the DRIVE on the green side and crank up the PRE-GAIN.
Note : The last version of the "New Paradigm" now features 3 positions switches (instead of 2 positions) on the green side for more sound shaping possibilities.
