Pete mi ha mandato la scheda tecnica del CC-1, il suo nuovo overdrive. Se a qualcuno interessa...

PETE CORNISH CC-1

My new Crunch pedal, which has taken over a year to perfect, is being introduced in January 2013 .

The CC-1™ is not a variant of any existing product but a completely new and original design.

The CC-1™ features two fixed low gain Soft Clipping Stages preceded by a variable gain (maximum

+22dB) linear preamp to compensate for low output pickups and provide extra drive to the soft clipping

stages if required.

The advantage of using two low gain Soft Clipping Stages rather than hard diode clipping is that they are

effectively (and automatically) removed from the audio path when the signal level drops below their

transition point - ensuring a complete “cleanup” if the guitar volume is reduced.

As the signal level increases due to stronger playing the soft clips gradually engage and start to add

harmonics - more signal = more harmonics - but the loudness continues to increase as there is no clamping

of the signal peaks. Dynamics are therefore preserved and superb musicality results.

Following on from the Soft Clipping Stages is a three band active EQ using frequencies I have specifically

tailored to suit guitars. Being active, the three tone bands can be both cut and boosted as desired with the

zero or neutral point being 12 o'clock on each control knob. I have included a second linear boost stage after

the tone circuit to compensate for any reduction in overall volume when the tones are in "cut" mode.

The benefits of this active tone circuit, compared to the usual passive (Cut only) tone circuit is that the three

bands are completely independent and there is no inter reaction between the Bass, Middle and Treble tone

controls.

An output Master Volume is included to allow for perfect matching between bypassed and boosted/EQ’d

signal level and there is plenty of signal headroom available to overdrive amp inputs if required.

My well established Class A input buffer and radio frequency suppressor is, of course, included and the

output buffer impedance is low; to easily drive long cables or other loads without loss of signal or tone.

Technical Specification:

Overall boost with Gain = 100% and Volume = 100% is +34 dB

Overall boost with Gain = 0% and Volume = 100% is +12 dB

The above with Bass, Middle and Treble set to 50% (Neutral point).

Bass Control range +/- 13dB @ 70Hz

Mid Control range +/- 15dB @ 1.5KHz

Treble Control range +/-16dB @ 5KHz

Maximum signal output with Volume 100% is +10dBm/ 2.5vrms/6v Peak to Peak.

Power Supply:

Internal 9vdc battery (Grey Series) plus 9vdc input on M2.1 tip negative connector.

Orders are now being accepted for Grey Series CC-1s : deliveries will be starting in January 2013.

Compralo Cash!

Se vogliono paragonare un pedale da crunch con un pedale che da il meglio di se a gain basso... :facapalm:

Che palle però, sempre a rapportarsi col Klon...

Beh, un motivo se viene spesso preso come riferimento ci sarà

Il CC-1 é un pedale a gain molto basso. A me per esempio come od il Klon non piace per niente, lo sento troppo nasale e, ripeto, questa cosa l'ha detta chi giá ha il CC-1. Sono convinto che Cornish non sappia nemmeno cosa sia il Klon.
