Availability: InStock
Rating: 5.00 (4 reviews)

$379.00 – $405.00

The Blue Bottle™ Inductorized Booster pedal is a replica of the mid-boost section found in the legendary “Pultec” tube equaliser circuit. It was custom designed for blues/rock guitarist John Verity to enable him to achieve a fatter, more bluesy B.B. King “335” tones from his Strat-type guitars. It’s the perfect vintage mid-boost, never too aggressive or over-the-top, for low output single coil pickups. The special limited edition pack includes:

● The Blue Bottle inductorized mid booster
● John Verity’s album ‘My Religion’ on CD
● A Blue Bottle demo EP
● A set of Newtone strings
● A limited edition John Verity guitar pick

“This is the one I’ve been waiting for – big, fat and pure. It’s a tone monster!!” – John Verity

Description

The Blue Bottle™ is a limited edition signature mid-boost pedal specially designed by Effectrode for guitarist John Verity (Argent). John wanted to fatten-up the tone of the single coil pickups on his “Corona Strat” guitar. We came up with the idea of basing his pedal on a vintage “Pultec” tube equaliser circuit–that’s right, housed within its diecast aluminium box is a genuine NOS Sylvania 6021 pencil tube and a real inductor, creating a tube buffered passive mid-boost, just like in the “Pultec”. You just can’t beat real analogue electronic hardware when it comes to guitar tone!

This compact tube pedal adds warm and musical sounding vintage mids that work to enrich the natural harmonic character of the guitar. There’s also 18dB of all-tube gain on tap allowing the Blue Bottle™ to push a tube amp into generating a beautiful, singing, bluesy overdrive. Audiophile grade components and silver solder are utilised throughout the circuit along with precision, low noise, metal-film resistors, stellar-quality polyester coupling capacitors and ground-plane layout. The result of all this attention to detail is a mid-boost pedal with a full-bodied, rich and addictive lead tone for solo playing–John seldom bypasses it.

Tonight my band played our first club gig since I received my Blue Bottle Pedal. I placed it right after my Blackbird. Every note coming out of my amp is now clear, woody, fat, less gainy, and solid sounding. No more mush! I’m not completely sure I fully understand the electronics behind the sound enhancement that the Blue Bottle adds during signal processing; however I can hear the improvement in my sound. That little pedal was the missing link in my signal chain. And I haven’t yet adjusted any of the knobs. I used it straight out of the box. Very impressive!!!
