Celestial Effects ARIES Beast Distortion Owner's Manual

Beast Distortion
OWNER'S MANUAL
The Celestial Effects™ is not just any distortion. The Aries can be used as a boost, overdrive or distortion and with its three
band EQ, this pedal gives you complete control of your dirt pedal needs.
The Aries Beast Distortion's circuit is configured by stacking two gain stages in cascade (or in series) mode. The first opamp
gain stage (GAIN) does not utilize clipping diodes. It's fuller and more open sounding. The second opamp gain stage (DRIVE)
incorporates asymmetrical MOSFET clipping diodes and is tighter and more compressed. Mixing the two results many sonic
combinations of true dirt pedal bliss.
But we didn't stop there. We then fed the gain stages to a three band EQ and finished the chain off with an FET gain stage.
This FET gain stage corrects the attenuation (volume loss) from the EQ circuit and adds a tube like warmth to the circuit.
Once you play through the Aries Beast Distortion you will fall in love with its versatility.
The Aries Beast Distortion can easily accommodate all styles of music.
There is very little noise filtering in the circuit which allows your guitar's entire signal to come through. The Aquarius is
extremely touch sensitive and responds beautifully to every nuance of your guitar playing. The Aquarius also cleans up nicely
when you roll back the volume on your guitar.
