Tech 21 - CPS-MTL

Description

The Character Plus Series celebrates the unique chemistry between specific historic amplifiers and specific historic pedals, and cleverly unites them together in single packages. With an abundance of knob controls, the 2-channel Character Plus Series pedals are easy to use and feature the same proprietary, 100% analog SansAmp technology.

You can explore and tailor various eras within each amp style simply by turning a knob. Each continuously-variable Character control sweeps through an entire tonal range, spanning decades of sounds. The Character, EQ controls and speaker simulation are individually voiced to reflect the specific personality traits inherent in each amp style. Additionally, each of these multi-function pedals is like having a stompbox within a stompbox. You can use the amp emulation on its own or just the effect on its own.

The SansAmp Mop Top Liverpool is a combination of a Vox-style tube amp and a Rangemaster Booster-style pedal.

Range of Settings with CHAR A:
* Below 12 o'clock serves up the tone of a Top Boost with controls set to 9:00, for a throatier clean sound and warm overdriven tones.
* Advancing towards 12 o'clock brings in classic British mids.
* Passing 12 o'clock increases clarity to crunchy and overdriven tones.
* Full up adds the upper mid crackle of pushed Alnico speakers.

Range of Settings with CHAR B:
* Below 12 o'clock serves up the tone of a Top Boost with controls set to 3:00, for full clean sound with lots of bass and highs.
* Advancing towards 12 o'clock brings in classic British mids.
* Passing 12 o'clock brings in the vocal quality of "Woman Tone."
* Full up boosts the low mids for non-Top Boost AC30-style tone.

Independent BOOST Section:
The Mop Top Liverpool uniquely offers 2 boosts in one knob:
* At 12 o'clock it's flat.
* Up to 12dB Treble Boost when you turn clockwise for a brighter, louder, edgier '60s and '70s vintage vibe.
* Up to 12dB Mid-Range Boost when you turn counter-clockwise, which tightens up distortion, rhythm and lead tones for more modern vibes.
