Based On: Marshall® Blues Breaker™
From the Marshall®
"The sound of the 1962 'Bluesbreaker' amplifier became a legend, with the smooth tone, rich
warmth and full character that gave guitarists more expression than ever before. The original
Bluesbreaker pedal took this and put it in a stompbox. Today, this reissue accurately delivers
timeless tones and style once again. It captures the magic of those classic vintage amps with
added sweetness, crispness and extra edge to carry solos and squeeze out those vital harmonics."
The Standard Series version of the mbp 8-Ball project goes in a new direction with 4 clipping
modes and an optional output gain stage for added volume. You can build an OG BluesBreaker™,
a Prince of Tone™ or cook up your own variation with selected values and clipping diode types.
• VOL, GAIN, TONE: self-explanatory
• CLIP: This 2p4t rotary switch offers two modes each of both soft and hard clipping diodes.
• BOOST: An internal slide switch that adds a low-gain boost stage to the output. Using the boost
feature also makes the effect input and output in phase with one another.
