THE ELECTRIC LIGHTNING is a pedal designed to meet the exacting needs of Chris Buck who utilizes a wide palette of sounds from crystal clear and punchy cleans through to nicely saturated overdrive.

The pedal has two sides to it: a complex valve overdrive with a 3-band EQ and a high headroom super clean boost on the right.

Key Features

  • Simple Interface – The ELECTRIC LIGHTNING has a simple interface, making dialling in the exact tone you need very simple.
  • Use as a Boost, an Overdrive, or BOTH! – Stack the Boost and the Overdrive together for pure tonal bliss, or use separate for clear articulate tone.

The pedal is designed so that the boost runs into the valve overdrive side. This arrangement yields three distinct tonal variations ranging from clean boost all the way through to full and fat saturation. The pedal is designed to clean up impeccably from your volume control and as such it is ideal for dynamic players who like to constantly adjust their playing style.

Controls

  • VOLUME: Use this control to increase the volume output of the drive side of pedal.
  • GAIN: This control is used to increase the level of drive available on the drive side of the pedal, everything from lightly crispy through to heavier sounds is available here.
  • BASS: This control gives allows you massive amounts of control over the bass response of the drive. Clockwise yields bass rich sounds.
  • MIDS: This control gives allows you massive amounts of control over the mids response of the drive. Clockwise yields mids focused sounds.
  • TREBLE: This control gives allows you massive amounts of control over the treble response of the drive. Clockwise yields treble focused sounds.
  • BOOST: This control gives you control to boost or attenuate your signal, use it on its own as part of the boost side of the pedal or when stacked into the drive.
  • LOWS: This control gives you control to add low end to the boost side of the pedal and fatten up your signal for crystal clear but fat clean sounds.

Overdrive Pedals

Overdrive pedals add controlled clipping and harmonics while retaining more of the instrument’s attack and dynamics than heavier distortion. They can simulate a pushed valve amp, add a mid lift, tighten the low end or provide a lower-gain always-on voice. Gain, tone, output, presence, bass and clipping options determine how the pedal responds to pickups and the next stage. Before choosing, decide whether it should clean up from the guitar volume, stack with another drive or feed an already driven amplifier.

Bass

Bass products are designed or voiced to retain low-frequency information and usable headroom with bass guitar or other low-register sources. Controls may centre on clean blend, low-end EQ, compression, crossover points or drive character. A guitar pedal can sometimes work well on bass, but it may remove the fundamental or compress the transient. Check the frequency response, input impedance, output level and dry-signal path with the intended tuning and amplifier.
