How do I use the Fake Plastic Trees?
Unlike TBT, the FPT will NOT drive a speaker, and consequently it
functions solely as a pedal. Connect an instrument and amp to the In
and Out jacks respectively, adjust the Gain and Volume pots for the
desired break-up and output level, and away you go.
The Root and Branch controls tailor the Bass and Treble, but as
they're stationed before the break-up stages, varying the EQ will have
a huge bearing on the character of any break-up produced. Obviously,
your instrument's volume and tone controls also come into play, as, by
extension, does your picking dynamic, so please take time to
experiment!
It feels necessary here, to acknowledge the fact that all my Audio
Kitchen designs up to this point have been centred around valves;
purely because of the intrinsically wonderful characteristics they
impart to a signal. Although FPT may seem like a big departure from
that, in many significant ways it is not. The motive driving my designs
has always been the desire to inspire musicians to create and
communicate, and you will find that motive is alive and well at the
core of the FPT design. Rather than turning away from the source of
my inspiration, I'd say this feels more like my first solid-state homage
to the musical joy that I have found in valves over the past 20yrs.
All of us at AK trust you will find FPT to be a thoroughly fun and
inspirational tool which will bring many years of enjoyment and
creativity.
Thank-you!
