Seller's description

A Local Legend - The Baltimore Sonic Research Institute Impossible Colors II Transformer Coupled Fuzz Pedal Try to imagine a new color. Try really hard. Anything? You cant do it very easily. We have screens everywhere in our lives that are capable of displaying millions of colors, but its really just millions of ever so slightly different shades and variations of the seven familiar colors in the rainbow. Humans color perception is limited by the antagonistic nature of the cones in our eyes and the opponent color theory breaks this perception into three segments where opposite colors are detected by different cells. Because these cells work by detecting the difference between colors, it is impossible to perceive a combination of them. So an impossible color is one that cannot exist or be perceived, because we are unable to see it. That sounds way more complex than it should. Best to just try and imagine an intensely bright red-green. Good luck. Impossible Colors the pedal is a combination of deeply unique and flexible fuzz and drive textures that can be fine tuned for everything from saggy tube amp overdrive to amp-on-fire distortion to somehow the guitar is a brass instrument playing suboctaves. Its the intensely bright red-green of distorted guitar tones. Enjoy! Knobs Volume: Sets the output volume. Ample boost above unity is available. Bass: Boost or cut frequencies below 100Hz by 12dB. Treble: Boost or cut frequencies above 4K Hz by 12dB. Texture: Adjusts the voltage fed to a portion of the circuit to change both the dynamic range of the clipping amp and the character of the clipping. Attack: Sets the input gain of the circuit from light boost to heavy clipping Boost: Preamp boost feeding the transformer stage to allow for additional fuzz, flexibility in gain staging, or pseudo preset functionality. For example, you in dial in unique suboctave textures with the Attack and Texture controls and then use the Boost mode to jump back into full-frequency fuzz.
