Master  Blaster  OVERVIEW

Master  Blaster  is  a    switchable  instrument  preamplifier  device.    Master 

Blaster  will allow  you  to  BOOST  or  CUT the  gain  and/or  brightness  of 

your  instrument  signal  (for  solos,  to  overdrive  your  amplifier,  to  cut 

through a  dense mix, etc.).   The pedal can be  set such that there  is no 

tonal  difference  between  bypass  and  boosted  modes,  plus  it  can  also 

be  set  for a  boost  or  cut in  volume,  and/or  a boost  or  cut  in the  treble 

response.

The  TONE  control  will effect  the  treble  response,  When  the  knob  is in 

the  center,  there is  no  change  in tone  whatsoever.    When the  knob  is 

at  minimum,  treble  frequencies  from  2.5kHz  and  up  will  be  reduced.
