Horse Majeur
This is best used as a Low to Mid Gain overdrive and is on
the
Orange
channel.
Volume, Gain and Treble are the same as in other pedal.
The original effect only has a Gain potentiometer (pot) that
actually is a stereo pot that internally controls both Gain
and Blend at the same time. Turning the Gain knob up
results off course in more gain, but also turns down the
overall added clean signal, while turning the gain down
lowers the gain and also lets more of the clean signal
remain.
In the
Les Boutiques
effect the pot is split into separate Gain and Blend. You can now
determine in every Gain setting how much of the clean signal you want to let bleed
through. If you turn the Blend knob to the same position as the Gain knob, it will act as
the Gain knob on the original.
Diodes
The diode selection switch gives you the option between 3 flavors:
•
Germanium
(1)
Warm vintage overdrive sound
•
None
More of a Clean boost setting. Notice the raised volume in this setting.
•
Silicon
Slightly compressed setting but still leaves enough top end.
