FREQSCENE EFFECTS CO. NOUVEAU RICHE

Is the Freqscene Nouveau Riche your new favourite overdrive/distortion pedal?
The idea started as an exploration of the classic RAT circuit to see if they could expand and improve upon the lower gain sounds and the overall dynamic response.
Although it started as a RAT style drive, the circuit has moved way beyond that now. They added every trick in the playbook to improve the tonal flexibility, increase the headroom and decrease the clipping threshold to keep it dynamic, lively, and smooth while still retaining a bit of that classic RAT DNA we all love. From dirty boost to sparkly overdrive and distortion with slightly fuzzy overtones, this is the perfect workhorse drive pedal that covers a lot of ground.
FREQ is a post-gain EQ similar to the RAT's filter control
VOICE is similar to the voice control on the Zendrive. It is a pre-gain EQ that shifts the mids
+ and - switch is a bass boost or cut. You gotta love the bass boost for playing without a band and the bass cut for cutting through in a band situation
Internal voltage booster doubles your 9V input to run it at 18V (never plug more than 9V in!)
LED clipping keeps things dynamic and amp-like (all the buzzwords!)
Combination of two secret op-amps chosen for their sonic characteristics in this application
they utilized a Klon-style buffered bypass on this one to prevent "tone suck" from long cable runs
Soft touch relay footswitch for quiet and reliable operation
Matte black enclosure
Pink LED!
