The Joe Gore Cult Germanium Channel Overdrive is an expanded version of the one-knob Cult Germanium Overdrive. Guitar Player magazine calls Cult, βThe most dynamic overdrive weβve heard.β Vintage Guitar declared it, βone of the most flexible fuzz units we have ever tested.β Tone Report says, βCultβs dynamic range is freaking ridiculous.β Users include Richard Fortus of Guns Nβ Roses, Pharrell Williamsβs Brent Paschke, and Paul McCartneyβs Brian Ray.
Cult Germanium Channelβs added controls shape tones before and after the drive circuit. Variable input capacitance yields everything from bright β60s-style treble boosting to Sabbath-like sludge. Immaculately tuned 2-band active EQ helps you dial in the perfect emphasis. The EQ is fastidiously tuned for good, usable sounds at every possible setting.
Controls:
- PRE shapes your tone at the input. With the knob fully right, you get the fat, full-frequency sound of the one-knob Cult pedal. Rotating the other way filters the signal β it gets progressively cleaner and brighter. (You can think of PRE as a βfat vs. crisp control.β) The PRE and DRIVE controls are extremely interactive
- DRIVE cranks up the gain – itβs scaled for cool sounds throughout its entire range (unlike β60s booster clones, which sound best cranked) DRIVE and PRE are highly interactive
- LOWS and HIGHS control an active EQ stage (Such circuits never appeared on β60s pedals) The knobs provide usable tones in all possible positions
- TRIM is simply a master volume control
