The Dunes™ is a condensed take on our highly popular Palisades “808-style” overdrive. We’ve stripped away all the glitz and glamour of the original Palisades, leaving only the bare essentials required for a rippin’ mid-boosting transparent overdrive. It has all the great tone of the grown-up Palisades but with a simplified interface and a smaller footprint!
The Dunes features the same Gain, Tone and Level controls as the Palisades, along with our favorite voice and bandwidth settings, as well as the Normal/Bright toggle. The selectable clipping Voices are: MOSFET for a tight crunchy sound (Palisades’ Setting 3); Silicon Asymmetrical clipping for tighter light gain OD closest to the classic 808 sound (Palisades’ Setting 4), and None, which goes from clean boost to gritty, pure op-amp distortion with a massive volume boost (Palisades’ Setting 1). The two Bandwidth settings are Stock for the classic tone (Palisades’ Setting 3) and Full Range for more low end (Palisades’ Setting 5).
Controls:
1. Tone: Brighter clockwise, warmer counterclockwise
2. Voice: MF- MOSFET diode clipping, N- No diode clipping, Si- Silicon diode clipping
3. Gain: Adjusts the drive, dirtier clockwise, cleaner counterclockwise
4. Normal/Bright: Normal is a warm full tone, Bright is livelier tone with more chime
5. Volume: Sets the output level
6. Bandwidth: Left is brighter with more emphasis on the mids, right is full range for more low end
