🎛 Advanced Tone Control

🔹 Variable Input Gain & Boost

Fine-tune your signal level to hit your preamp, pedals, or PA perfectly.
Engage the +10dB boost for solos or to drive your amp with a hotter, more dynamic signal.

🔹 Two Switchable Preamp Channels

• PURE – Clean, transparent, high-headroom sound with no coloration
• JFET – Class A analog warmth with enhanced midrange punch and harmonic richness

🔹 Variable-Z Impedance Control

Adjustable from 1MΩ to 2.2kΩ for unique tonal textures:
Counter-clockwise → tighter, cleaner, more precise tone
Clockwise → thicker, warmer, and more saturated sound
