"The Midboost/Fat Control came about when custumer wanted their single coil pick-ups to be fatter and louder but not shrill. After much research the Fat Control was born. Mostly used on-board, sometimes with my noise reduction system, the unit became popular with players and guitar manufacturers. After many requests it is now available as an effects pedal." - James Demeter The MB-2B Midboost/Fat Control boosts a wide mid-frequency range for a more distinct natural frequency boost than any other midboosts. The frequencies selected give your guitar the best response and sustain possible. The MB-2B Midboost/Fat Control used with a stratocaster (single coil) type pickup produces a sound very similar to the old Gibson P90 pickup. Used with humbucking type pickups, the sound is transformed into that of super humbucking pickups. The MB-2B Midboost/Fat Control produces the sound equivalent of adding 5,000 feet of wire to your pickup, and at a turn of the knob the MB-2B Midboost/Fat Control will respond by adding any amount of midboost you desire. There is one control on the unit: Flat/Fat, plus a foot switch to bypass the effect, and an LED to indicate effect operation. Flat/fat affects the midboost/buffer which includes a wide variable gain mid-frequency power booster control and a built-in low impedance buffer. Inputs/outputs: there is a 1/4" input jack on the right-hand side of the pedal, and a 1/4" output jack on the left-hand side, with a battery switch on the input jack.

By marrying the classic Fat Control/Midboost with our new Overdrive we have created the ultimate overdrive/distortion pedal. From fat crunch to extra fuzzy to over the top, this pedal does it all. The midboost goes from thin to ballsy, while the overdrive has the ability to go from edgy clean to filthy in germanium mode and edgy to dirty while in silicon mode.Fat Control: Our classic circuit updated for this pedal. The tone ranges from flat buffer to 12dB of Fat Boost. It is like turning your strat pickup into a P90. The boost frequencies are set to produce maximum sustain.Overdrive: Our new Overdrive features variable gain control from unity to over 100 times, that output drives our clip generators (silicon or germanium diodes, switchable) for the ultimate in overdrive sound variations. The overdrives controls are gain (drive), a very usable tone control, volume control, and loose/tight switch. Indicator LED and a mini-jack power connector are included.

The Uberdriveulator is a much cleaner drive circuit with more headroom and can operate in two modes the Loose mode is similar to the tight mode of the Standard Overdrive but with a bit more headroom and the tight mode which has even more clean headroom and much more output power. The unit has a Drive control that can turn up the gain of the drive circuit 100 times. A very wide range and musical sounding tone control and a volume control to keep the gain under control, can be used as a clean boost. Also included is a trim pot to set the output gain. This unit is True Bypass using an ALCO heavy duty Footswitch.
