MI Audio announced a new low/medium gain overdrive pedal,
the 'Blue Boy overdrive'. The Blue Boy has been 18 months in the making,
and the final design features 'Drive', 'Tone' and 'Volume' controls.
The
Blue Boy also features 3 internal trim controls (brightness, voicing and
character) which provides a large amount of flexibility for tailoring
the tone of the pedal, from clean and fat, to fuzzy. The Blue Boy
features the famous JRC4558D IC which is mounted in an IC socket, so the
user can experiment with different ICs without having to de-solder the
IC.
The compact and heavy-duty enclosure is made from die-cast aluminium,
which has been professionally powder-coated and silk-screened. The Blue
Boy also features a 3PDT heavy-duty footswitch for true bypass and a
high brightness yellow LED. Each pedal is hand-made in Australia.
The Blue Boy retails for US$129.95.
