Quite a good gain range from this circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eclean boost\u003c\/strong\u003e meant to be used as a lead boost, or to thicken up the distortion side. Very loud, also used to create an instant volume jump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ehow does it sound and feel?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe distortion side is a strange one. It feels like an overdrive in the hands. But it has minor subtleties of fuzz at higher gain. Still retains a distortion character, but does not feel as strictly linear and consistently tight like a typical op amp distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the metalzone tonestack engaged, it achieves a more \"metal\" like tone. In the stock tone control, it feels and sounds more natural.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe clean boost side can get into warmer territory when cranked, adding a touch of saturation. It gets quite loud before it does that though. Very clean at the earlier gain ranges.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Twilight Audio Electronics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51271379419442,"sku":null,"price":149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0908\/1906\/8210\/files\/2_9c02b81e-1c2f-4642-9774-9ba0cd39594b.png?v=1780860740","url":"https:\/\/twilightaudioelectronics.com\/products\/the-shadow","provider":"Twilight Audio Electronics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
