Description

The ultimate ‘always-on’ pedal Not an effect as such, but a pedal to improve your clean guitar sound. To make it sound better from a set of purely subjective criteria. We did this by combining a subtle and musical optical compressor with a saturation circuit, and by giving the pedal a sparkling and warm tonal character. The pedal features a clean blend control, to dose as little or as much of the coloring as you like. The output stage is very powerful, making the Understate useful as a boost pedal too. The pedal can give your clean guitar tone much improved presence and density, while enhancing sparkle and chime. It’s also a great tool to keep your level and dynamics under control. The saturation control can drive the pedal into a mild and pleasant overdrive, that shines at edge-of-break-up settings.
