Full Description
View Full DescriptionThree effects in one
The Empress Effects Multidrive is equipped with a fuzz, overdrive and distortion circuits that can be run simultaneously, in parallel; their individual outputs get blended together to create the final output. The gain control on each section controls how distorted the section sounds, and the volume control on each section controls how much of the effect appears at the output. A classic sounding circuit with loads of gain and sustain. Blending this in will add great note definition to lead parts. On its own it will give you that classic, bursting at the seams kind of sound.
What's more, it is fully loaded with a completely original circuit, this overdrive is designed to give you a warm and smooth break-up that cleans up well with changes in volume and attack, much like a tube preamp. This circuit uses a combination of BJTs, FETs, LEDs, standard diodes, and opamps. It’s a little bit of gain from a lot of different places. In the mild setting, it’s focused and is an excellent complement to the overdrive. In the crunch setting, you get a thick, well defined sound with really tight low end. In the lead setting, it compresses and gets over the top.
