Curare

The CURARE is an overdrive pedal, inspired by the legendary ELECTRA DISTORTION. To create the hard clipping distortion, a pair of germanium diodes are used. The sound could best be described as a good old vintage Marshall Plexi and reacts to the picking dynamics of the player. Particularly when using the VOLUME knob on the guitar, you can cover a lot of ground and get a very wide range of sounds from virtually clean boost to a fat vintage overdrive sound. The pedal has only one control knob for DRIVE, it controls the output level of the distortion. As you turn it there is a slight and authentic crackle, which is caused by the writing as you change the bias “on the fly”. Inside the pedal is a trimmer pot so you can set the pedal for a “maximum distortion level“.
