New Great Wall controls!
Posted: Mon May 11, 2009 6:13 pm
I'm always thinking about the best controls and most usable range of controls for pedals.
I've always been adverse to Tone controls, for the way they filter and dampen, but mostly because of their limited use...most people are only going to use about 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock on their Tone control. And many people will set-and-forget right around the middle.
So, effective immediately, there are TWO new controls on the standard Great Wall, which I think will allow it to shine on EVERY setting.
In place of the Tone control will now be a Voltage Reducer for control over response and texture. And in place of the Tone Bypass Toggle, is now a Voice Toggle, allowing to switch between standard and bass-modded voicings.
For now, this doesn't affect the controls on the 5K (5 knob) Great Wall or Dlx. Great Wall.
