The Heartbreaker’s innovative ‘Bass Contour’ control, allows for precise adjustment of the low-frequency response of the effect, allowing for a very versatile overdrive pedal. The fine tuning of the low frequencies is not a traditional frequency ‘equaliser’, but a filter built from the original signal of your instrument and then mixed with the distorted signal.
The result? A rich, cohesive custom sound with an adjustable 12dB low-frequency boost, making this pedal adaptable to virtually any setup or genre. Whether you’re aiming for subtle studio warmth or powerful live booming lows, this pedal offers the fine-tuned control you need to perfect your sound.
The Heartbreaker features a dynamic optical compressor, designed to handle a wide range of input signals—up to 2V RMS—making it perfect for both live performances and studio work. Its highly linear response ensures consistent performance across various signal levels, providing transparent compression that always maintains the integrity of your original tone.
The built-in preamp stage maintains the original signal without introducing variations to the output signal, while the internal buffer optimises impedance matching for seamless integration with effects pedals and amplifiers. A visual compression threshold indicator allows for easy monitoring, allowing even more confidence.
