The TranZformer GTR combines api's unique EQ and boost (preamp) circuitry in a compact, effects-sized unit. It's designed to fit on a pedal board and operate on a standard 9V (up to 18V) power supply. Guitar Pedal/Equalizer & Boost Features: The TranZformer GTR combines api's unique EQ and boost (preamp) circuitry in a compact, effects-sized unit. It's designed to fit on a pedal board and operate on a standard 9V (up to 18V) power supply. Features: The EQ offers +/-15dB of boost or cut at three frequencies (200Hz, 1.5kHz, and 5kHz). The 5kHz frequency can be switched between peak and shelving, a feature reminiscent of a rack-mounted unit. The gain stage can also be switched from "CLEAN BOOST" to "OVER DRIVE" mode. "CLEAN BOOST" provides a crystal-clear volume boost, while "OVER DRIVE" drives the input op-amp for a one-of-a-kind "api drive tone." It also features a -20dB pad, allowing you to adjust the balance between drive and output depending on the input signal level. This long-awaited instrument product delivers the "API sound" achieved by combining the 2510 op-amp found in API's larger consoles with an API custom output transformer in a compact package. Compatible with both guitar and bass, it delivers the amazing "api sound."

While the "2510 Op Amp" may be synonymous with the 2520, the 2510 is also used in numerous products. The 2510 is widely used in the EQ/Dynamics section of API's massive flagship Vision console. It's also used in many other products' input paths, making it an essential component in creating the API sound. The generous use of the same parts as products costing tens of millions of yen ensures the "unique API sound" is maintained even in compact effects pedals. Large Output Transformer: Despite its pedal size, it features a large output transformer. 18V operation: This unit can also be operated at 18V. At 18V, the dynamic range is wider, resulting in a clearer sound. Also, since the distortion level changes when the GAIN is increased, you can use 9V for guitar-effect distortion and 18V for a clearer, more natural drive. ■Management Code: 4571239309609 Category: Effects, Electric Guitar Effects, Booster/Buffer, Musical Instruments, Crafts, and Collectibles, Instruments and Equipment, Guitars, Guitar Effects JAN/ISBN Code: 4571239309609 Product Code: mt0119962
