Blackstone Mosfet Overdrive

3 WAYS IN WHICH THE BLACKSTONE SOUNDS DIFFERENT:

No fizz. Like a good amp, the Mosfet Overdrive imparts harmonics that seem integral to the tone, as opposed to a disconnected fizz. This is not just filtering after the distortion, but a tailoring of each stage to prevent the generation of high-order harmonics in the first place. It's glassy at low settings, becoming fat and midrangey when cranked. This is the opposite behavior of most pedals, which get thinner and fizzier at high settings.

Control it from your guitar. Another area where the Blackstone stands out is in how you can control it with the volume control on your guitar. If you listen to the third clip on the sound clips page, you'll hear how most pedals just get a little brighter when the guitar volume is increased from 6 to 10, while the Blackstone runs the gamut from almost clean to a fully saturated sound. The Blackstone must be the first effect after the guitar to acheive this.*

It doesn't ‘plink’. Many distortion devices tend to over-hype attack transients, giving each note the same "chirp" regardless of what you're doing with the pick. The Mosfet circuit exhibits a minimum of this tendency. It only spits when you dig in. It emphasizes the body of the note, making it easier to get notes to hang on, but with none of the "auto-pilot" feel of a gain-riding compressor.
