PERSIAN GREEN SCREAMER

OVERDRIVE

Nearly all effect builders have produced a screamer circuit, yet they are all very similar. However, the One Control Persian Green Screamer (PSG) is extremely different. By incorporating a dual Op Amp and symmetrical diode clipping, the pedal has become the new standard for TS-style pedals. Tube Screamer circuitry is renowned for its flexibility due to its endless creative options by adjusting a few variables. The Persian Green Screamer aims to attain the ultimate tube screamer sound by combining a typical TS circuit with one of Bjorn Juhl's own designs. The Persian Green Screamer is a pedal that creates a vintage TS sound and a modern overdrive sound pedal at the same time. A switch has been added to the side of the body for exactly this reason. You can switch between two modes, Vintage and Modern. The Vintage mode creates beautiful distortion that is unique and similar to the legendary TS-808. It is a creamy, warm solid tone. Its dynamic range is not too broad and the mid-range is emphasized. The classic TS effect was described sometimes as 'nasal', yet One Control was able to attain a perfect balance through advanced circuitry design. Vintage mode can create a perfect vintage sound with single coil or P-90 pickups. The Modern mode allows for a 'transparent' overdrive for a perfectly clean boost. It gives life to the guitar and amp sound without changing it drastically. The overdrive can be used like a preamp or a compressor as well. You can change the gain easily by adjusting the Volume knob or by changing your picking strength. It has a wide-range and high response. You can leave it on throughout your performance in order to give a thickness to your guitar tone. In Modern mode, you can adjust the Tone setting whereas in Vintage mode, you cannot. You can also use the pedal as a booster if needed. Simply set Drive to minium and Level to maximum. The Tone knob adjustments are limited to allow minor and specific changes to your rich and subtle sound. The Persian Green Screamer can be powered with 18V DC to increase the headroom and to allow even richer expression while reducing the gain slightly. It is an effective way to add variations to tones.
