Source Audio SA245 One Series Kingmaker Fuzz Pedal

Equally suitable for electric guitarists and bass players, theSource Audio One Series Kingmakeris a pedal which elicits classic and modern fuzz tones by means of 56-bit DSP architecture, 24-bit AD/DA converts, four easily accessible knobs, and lots of under-the-hood features. Drive, level, bass, and treble controls are offered, as is a three-position toggle switch which gives you three different voicing options right out of the box. The Heavy engine provides a starkly saturated but highly articulate fuzz, giving you the ability to achieve violin-like tones with heaps of sustain, as well as beefy rhythm timbres. Normal mode, on the other hand, offers a fuzz distortion responsive to reduced input gain, allowing you to increase the drama of the fuzz by dialing in more level from your instrument. Lastly, the Kingmaker’s Octave circuit gives you a screeching, harmonically saturated distortion inspired by vintage Octavia pedals.

These are just the effects provided out of the gate. Play around with the included Neuro Mobile App for iOS and Android, and youll be able to edit a whole host of parameters. Extensive parameter editing enables you to customize your own signature tones, and what’s more, save them to different positions of the toggle switch. You can also load in tonal presets from the L.A. Lady Overdrive and Aftershock Bass Distortion pedals; if you wanted to, you could run a fuzz box, an overdrive, and a bass distortion pedal from different positions of the toggle switcheffectively giving you three stompboxes in one enclosure. With connections for MIDI control, expression control, and Hot Hand control (in which you use a proprietary ring-like device to modulate effect parameters straight from your picking hand), you can achieve even more real-time manipulation of effects.

Dual 1/4″ input and output jacks allow for all sorts of stereo and mono routing possibilities. The architecture for this pedal also allows for parallel and hybrid/series distortion paths, all handled internally.
