Heavily influenced by 1972-1975 era live Zeppelin tones, Liquid Lead (that's "Led") is designed to capture the sonic magic of those sounds, among others, in a single but versatile stompbox. The circuit is based on the high treble channel of a late 60's Super Lead. Liquid Lead's design starts off with carefully tailored JFET gain stages based on the preamp to emulate the textures and overdriven characteristics of a late 60's Super Lead. The breakup is gradual going from a lush clean tone to a smooth bluesy overdrive and then on to a classic rock crunch full of character without sounding too compressed and flat or too grainy. The amount of grind and crunch is just right. The proverbial amp like dynamic qualities are all there, including the abilitiy to clean up the dirty tone with your guitar's volume controls. There is a healthy dose of output volume on tap, unity gain is usually achieved at about 10 o' clock depending on where the drive knob is set, so the pedal can provide some boost if needed.
