NEW PEDAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Ground & Pound MKII distortion/overdrive/preamp…
The new ‘Ground & Pound MKII’ greatly improves on the original design by adding two modes, ‘ground’ and ‘pound’, selectable via a toggle switch.
The new ‘ground’ mode has a deeper tone with a modern sound profile that will attract the heavier-music bass players out there, in the wild. On the other hand, the ‘pound’ sets the pedal to its original/raw full-on mode.
Another , very useful, new feature is the addition of an L-Pad switch with a -10db attenuation, perfect to use with hotter instruments when these cause an extreme, heavier, effect. You don’t have to use it, but it’s there if you need it!!!
One other feature is the behaviour of the ‘Dis’ control. As the gain/distortion increases, the volume stays, fairly, linear on the distortion portion of the circuit. This makes it easier to find an ideal blend, between the clean and dirt channels, without having to make adjustments to the Mix control after adjusting the gain level.
The Ground & Pound MKII, despite its original concept, is very versatile, when combining all the provided tools for tone shaping. It shines when using a pick and digging into the strings, at lighter gain settings, or it can smash your face in when using it at higher gain settings with both fingerstyle and pick.
The new Ground & Pound MKII is available from the 18 November, 2024.
