Description
The Way Huge Smalls Geisha Drive creates a wide range of dynamic, touch-sensitive tones that can be dialled in from overdrive to distortion territory by adjusting your guitar’s volume knob. This pedal’s simple circuit allows the personality of you and your guitar to shine through. On the outside is a straightforward three-knob control setup. But they conjure up gritty, grinding tones that are as potent as they are versatile, and they’re shaped by the intensity of your attack and the volume of your guitar. At low Drive settings, you’ll get a warm, buttery goodness with a bit of velvet around the edges. Midways gets you thick, tubey overdrive. Start cranking that Drive knob towards the end of the range, and you’ll have gnarly thunder-and-lightning distortion. Use the Tone knob to brighten it up or mellow it out, and get as loud as you want to be with the Volume knob. Works well with an absolute clean amp or already overdriven amp on the edge!
Power
The Way Huge® Smalls Geisha Drive is powered by a single 9-volt battery, a 9-volt AC adapter such as the Dunlop ECB003, or an MXR® Brick™ Series power supply. The power input is a 5.5mm x 2.1mm jack with the positive voltage on the outer sleeve. Using an external power supply will disconnect the battery.
To preserve battery life when not in use, disconnect the input jack. The pedal will lock into bypass mode when it is time to change the battery. It also includes power protection circuitry to prevent damage from AC power supplies.
