From studio-grade clean sounds up to heavy saturations, passing through endless overdrive flavors with amp-like dynamics and harmonic content, while keeping your instrument’s natural low-end presence. More than just a pedal, a real studio-in-a-box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour different preamps in a single box and endless routing possibilities in a pedalboard-friendly format. A sound with very complex texture and natural feel. An engine that is designed to be the center of your pedalboard universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA SIDE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core of the machine, based on three very different preamps that can be used in parallel to achieve unheard-of and unique sounds.\u003cbr\u003eThe base of the A-Side is a clean high impedance preamp, with fixed gain and lots of headroom; it improves the tone of the instrument, enhancing its character without altering it. Two high dynamic range saturators (J, F) can then be mixed to the clean preamp using the BLEND control. The mix ratio between J and F can be changed as well using the STYLE control: in central position N you get the neutral balance between them and, at the same time, the range of sounds that defines the A-Side tone the most.\u003cbr\u003eNo clipping diodes are used in both saturators, providing a dynamic feeling comparable to a real amplifier… not just an ordinary stompbox! J and F share GAIN and LEVEL controls and both have a lot of clean headroom before saturation, while they differ strongly in their sonic focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJ Saturator: huge bottom, aggressive highs that brings the note attack upfront in the mix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF Saturator: sound focused on mid frequencies, more vintage inspired\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe concept of this side of CAPO is to mix a flat response sound with two complementary amp-like tones (running in parallel and mixed as well), to obtain an extremely complex and articulated texture while keeping the maximum frequency and dynamic response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA three band eq allows you to further sculpt the blended sound you create:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBASS: ±12dB@80Hz (shelving)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSemi-parametric MID: ±9dB@100Hz-10KHz (band pass)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHIGH: ±12dB@4KHz (shelving)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDEEP and BITE switches provide a perfectly tailored bottom end boost and just the right enhance of string attack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eB SIDE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTube-like tone preamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide B is a linear response FET preamp with dedicated volume and gain controls.
