Michelangelo MINI combines the Dynamism of valve sound with the definition of a pedal effect.
The heart of Michelangelo is made entirely of JFET transistors, which characterize a dynamic and warm sound recreating the effect produced by a Tube (Valve) head.
Thanks to the three position switch it is possible to select three distortion modes with silicon, germanium and JFET semiconductors.
The possibility to choose the type of distortion makes Michelangelo extremely flexible, with distortions that offer the whole range from a boost, to light crunch, to overdrive up to a very defined distortion typical of the one produced by a valve head.
Another great feature of Michelangelo is the presence of a preamplifier.
The PRE level control has an excursion from 0 to 15 dB: PRE at minimum therefore has no effect on the input signal, leaving it unaltered, while PRE at maximum brings the input signal to be amplified by 15 dB before being put into entry to the DRIVE section of Michelangelo.
The DRIVE section of Michelangelo has four controls available: GAIN, LEVEL.
GAIN defines the amount of distortion.
LEVEL the output volume of the DRIVE section.
The SIL / GER / FET selector acts on the DRIVE section of Michelangelo, modifying its distortion mode.
Finally, the other great feature made available by Michelangelo is the BLEND control, that lets the output signal be a mix of the amount of distorted and clean sound with a complete excursion from completely distorted sound to completely clean sound to a desired mix of two.
The selected components are high quality with integrated circuits and JFET transistors belonging to 70s vintage series.
The compact box allows easy positioning in the pedal board.
External or battery-powered 9V power supply.
LED light on / off status indicator of the DRIVE effect in addition to the LED at the base always active.
