ÁMBAR - Finding That Tone

We present you new ÁMBAR – DUAL OVERDRIVE. Based on the classic Klon and TS10 circuits, we have redesigned some aspects that will give you more versatility and more tones, but without losing the essence of the original circuits. Ámbar will give you lots and lots of different tones in a single pedal, besides THAT tone we all know… 💛

Dual pedal: green side (based on TS10) and amber side (based on Klon Centaur)
NOS diodes (both 2 sides: Toshiba silicon diodes for the green side, germa- nium russian diodes for the amber side)
Soft switching (footswitch with no-clack)
True bypass
9v standard DC
Green and amber LEDs indicators
Black faceplate, powder coating painting and UV silkscreen printing
Top mounted jacks
Central switch to change the stacking order TS10>Klon/ Klon>TS10
9 controls:
- Green side: VOLUME, DRIVE, TONE, PRESENCE, switch STOCK/OPEN
- Amber side: OUTPUT, GAIN, TREBLE, BASS
Made in Spain

GREEN SIDE

Based on the TS10 circuit, it has been redesigned it to achieve greater versatility without losing the essence of a TS. We’ve added a dedicated PRESENCE pot which will allow you to boost or attenuate clipped high frequencies, and a STOCK/OPEN switch.

Just like on the amber side, you can get the tones of a stock TS10 if you keep the presence pot in the center (at 12:00), and the STOCK /OPEN switch in the STOCK position (down). In this way, you will get that midrange tone characteristic of all TS with that small velvety or quieter touch of the specific TS10 model.

With the STOCK/OPEN switch in the OPEN position you will get a more open sound, that is, that bass and treble cut that characterizes the TS decreases. Ámbar is a dual pedal, but really this switch makes it a “triple” pedal, as it will completely change the character of the green side, making it a significantly different pedal.

AMBER SIDE

Based on the Klon Centaur circuit, it has been slightly redesigned to incorporate a BASS potentiometer. You can get the same tones as a stock Klon if you keep the BASS pot in the center (at 12:00).

The amber side will give you that classic fattening of the tone if you set it as a booster (lots of headroom and lots of output) and that powerful and hard rock overdrive when the gain is above 12:00.

Of course, it features everything that makes a Klon-style circuit memorable: Russian Germanium NOS diodes, a charge pump chip that raises the internal voltage* from 9v to 18v, and a dual gain pot that splits and controls the clean/dirt signal.

(*) IMPORTANT NOTE: connect the pedal only to a 9v DC power supply. The voltage rise is internal and automatic.
