The sound of an amp barely holding itself together is something to behold. The tone of a good amp walking the knife edge between clean and drive…there’s something there that just doesn’t exist anywhere else, and when it is pushed just a bit further, true bliss can be found. That’s where the Sure Shot Clipping Boost comes in!
The Sure Shot Clipping Boost is a different kind of boost. Is it high headroom? NO! Is it Germanium? Again, NOOOOPE! This boost is designed to get dirty, but it does so in a very special way. The Sure Shot has one single control on its face. The LOUD control does just that—it makes players loud, but it does so in a way that is unique amongst boosts.
As the LOUD control is increased, the Sure Shot pushes an amp into overdrive while also pushing a pair of MA856 clipping diodes. This results in a very special tone—a LAYERED drive effect, in which the amp AND the pedal are both beginning to overdrive. Now, this alone is truly special…but wait…there’s more. When run in front of a favourite boost, overdrive, distortion, or even a second Sure Shot, it adds texture and juiciness to those sounds.
The audio image of the Sure Shot is purposely rooted in the 1970s, with some areas slightly peaked out and some frequencies tamped down just a bit. This audio image presents itself more as the LOUD knob is increased, and it is truly glorious. The Sure Shot works wonderfully with all genres of music, from spanky country music to heavy chugging metal. It all sounds crazy…and maybe it is. It’s a clipping boost—it clips…on purpose…and it sounds glorious when it does!
