Mesa Boogie Mesa Boogie Cleo Overdrive Pedal

Presenting the all new Mesa Boogie Cleo Overdrive Pedal. You already know MESA® Pedals are built by the very same artisans that create the Award Winning Mark Five™, the legendary Dual and Triple Rectifier® and the soulful new vintage-voiced offerings, Fillmore and California Tweed amplifiers. Now here are three exciting new hand-built overdrive pedals spanning the entire range of gain and stylistic spectrum. The new Mesa Boogie Cleo™ Overdrive pedal commands the lower end of the gain scale anchoring Blues, Roots, Indie Rock and even doubles as a hearty Boost, while it enhances, not covers up, the sound of your instrument. With sweet, open top end clarity and not too much saturation, it allows you to craft anything from a subtle boost up through urgent mid gain drive to harmonically-rich overdrive, all in the spirit of Tradition. Like each and every MESA product, these pedals are built using the same quality components and craftsmanship and are filled with the inspiring performance found in Mesa's custom amplifiers... all of which are hand-built in their only Shop in Petaluma California, USA.... the Home of Tone®! Controls: LEVEL is the master output level and it controls the amount of signal provided to the host amplifier, GAIN determines the amount of gain (overdrive) in the signal path, TONE This provides simple, global adjustment of the entire range of frequencies with one control, DIP SWITCH is a selectable EQ Voicing Switch located in the lower right edge of the bottom circuit board inside the unit under the Bottom Plate. Removing the Bottom allows access to this switch offering you two EQ curves. Select either a Mid-Scooped EQ response that excels at Rock Chording with the EQ ON setting (as Shipped) or a flatter, punchier, more equally balanced response that retains the Midrange frequencies and fills in the sound with the EQ OFF. The latter can be effective for single note soloing, especially at lower gain settings where you may want more focus, definition and body. Again, the unit is shipped set to the EQ ON/Mid-scooped position. Push the dip switch toward the Left to remove EQ circuitry and obtain midrange balance and a more even response. Switches: True Bypass On/Off Switching - Bypasses all circuitry when off to ensure no tonal loss, Led Indicators: On/Off Status LED Power Requirements: 9V Battery Powered or optional AC Powered via External Power Jack Input. WARNING!!! To avoid immediate damage and voiding the warranty, the External Power Supply MUST be 9VDC with a NEGATIVE CENTER plug polarity and a jack plug size of 2.1mm x 5.5mm.
