This one is for the real audiophiles.Crisp drive while preserving natural dynamicsWhen you’ve got a great guitar amp tone, you want to preserve the sound and dynamics of it as much as possible. But what if you want to get a little more out of the gain stage – a little more thickness and sustain? That’s where the Blue Crystal comes in: it doesn’t colour your tone outside of very light tweaking options for treble and bass, it just adds to the greatness already on display.You’re getting vintage warmth without sacrificing clarity and transparency unlike the effects of many drive pedals.
