From the listing
The Mourning Star is a custom overdrive with an active 3 band Baxandall EQ that has a fixed boost that sits behind the volume for more headroom and harmonics, plus a 3 way clipping selection. We designed this pedal to give your amp an extra push into saturation territory without having to mod your amp but also in a familiar package and clipping options to really tailor how the pedal goes into and reacts with your amp. We wanted something that pushes a vintage blackface as well as sculpt a Mesa Dual Rectifier but still a stack-able pedal for those that use fuzz and distortion pedals for their tone. The 3 way options are: TS9 Mourning Star SD-1 These were decided on for a more familiar feel right out of the box. But understand that this is not a clone of any of those, but an entirely new build. TS9 setting is your standard tight and compressed feeling, the SD-1 adds that more rounder mid push while the Mourning Star setting is a custom LED clipping that adds a lot of gain and a stronger low end. The 3 band active eq was chosen over the standard tone knob as we wanted something you can really adjust depending on size of the amp and plus tone stack and power tube types. The Lows are full and can add better depth while the Mids are quite unique, push them to get more bite, gain and of course mids. The High is useful to calm a thin amp or used with all three controls creating a powerful but cutting tone. One thing that makes the Mids so unique is when maxed you can get an HM2 like aggression, something that really hits strong with heavier styles of music like Death Metal, Doom and other purveyors of Brutal. This build is a ground up from beginning to end with the desire to make a better overdrive than all the clones out there and we feel we have achieved something pretty great. It’s been on the road with Raymond of 200 Stab Wounds, with Eric’s death metal and sludge band plus a handful of players with earlier prototypes to make sure we were all happy with it.
