Pre amplifier
The Fathead uses JOEMEEK latest generation CurrentSense pre amplifier
circuit that gives ultimate flexibility and quality whether using line, mic, or
instrument sources. This means that the Fathead can be used equally well as
a head 'on stage' unit, or a pre amplifier for a mic or an instrument in the
studio.

'Opto Distort
'
To add to the Fathead's tonal variety, we have given it an 'opto distort'
feature. Technically, this is an arrangement of filters and limiters that utilise
optical circuitry to generate a distortion that can be fully varied from tube
like warmth to screaming fuzz.

JOEMEEK compressor
As with all JOEMEEK channels, the Fathead boasts the JOEMEEK optical
compressor. The compressor in the Fathead has been tweaked to produce
extremely high ratios, capable of causing huge effect with instruments. That
is, high compression without dulling of the sound. The 5 position switch
selects carefully chosen presets for the attack, release and a basic ratio
setting, while you control the 'compression' (similar to threshold) control.
