ANIMAL
MLC ANIMAL – classical tube driver, inspired by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd. The first version was build for Maciej Meller of RIVERSIDE special for WASTELAND TOUR 2018/2019, where we can listening in solo RIVER DOWN BELOW. This is a booster/overdrive pedal with an IC and vacuum tube ( TAD MULLARD style 12AX7 ) driven preamp circuit inside. We can get a smooth, light overdrive tone, to a classic rock-style heavy distortion.

SPECS
MLC ANIMAL – classical tube driver, inspired by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd. The first version was build for Maciej Meller of RIVERSIDE special for WASTELAND TOUR 2018/2019, where we can listening in solo RIVER DOWN BELOW. This is a booster/overdrive pedal with an IC and vacuum tube ( TAD MULLARD style 12AX7 ) driven preamp circuit inside. We can get a smooth, light overdrive tone, to a classic rock-style heavy distortion.
At high gain, it is like a lead crunch tone of a Marshall JCM800 amplifier. Inside is a hybrid fuzz – pre amp circuit. The hard clipping part of the distortion comes from the integrated Class A preamplifier BURR BROWN OPA2134. That strong signal is fed into a vacuum um tube TAD 12AX7 MULLARD STYLE, which does not work to amplify the signal as it would in the pre amp stage of a typical amplifier but It filters and colors the sound with the tube characteristics.

Vanilla Sky Overdrive.
The idea behind this pedal, was to create an effect which would retain its dynamics and allow the guitar’s individual tone to shine through even at the highest GAIN settings. A completely analog signal line helps achieve a rich and organic sound. The circuit is based on an OPA BURR BROWN amplifier which allows serious amounts of sustain and at the same time ensures a high level of dynamics and a low amount of hum.

ELEVATION
MLC Elevation FUZZ - 4 famous fuzzes in one box, inspired by The Edge of U2. You'll find all kinds of different variations in the basic original circuit, from PNP Germanium to NPN Silicon, and a countless number of fuzz pedals that are based on it.
JAZZY DRIVE
MLC Jazzy Drive - an overdrive built on the platform of the vintage overdrive, but the modifications give it a new, individual character. Thanks to incorporating and OPA BURR BROWN circuit as well as polypropylene capacitors we reached a perfect ‘tube tone’.
