The Blue Bottle™ Inductorized Booster pedal has been custom designed for blues/rock guitarist John Verity to enable him to achieve a fatter, more bluesy B.B. King “335” tones from his Strat-type guitars. It’s the perfect vintage mid-boost—never too aggressive or over-the-top—for low output single coil pickups. This special limited edition pack includes:
The Blue Bottle inductorized mid booster (a replica of part of the ‘Pultec’ tube equaliser circuitry!)
“This is the one I’ve been waiting for – big, fat and pure. It’s a tone monster!!” – John Verity
The Blue Bottle™ is a limited edition signature mid-boost pedal specially designed by Effectrode for guitarist John Verity (Argent). John wanted to fatten-up the tone of the single coil pickups on his “Corona Strat” guitar. We came up with the idea of basing his pedal on a vintage “Pultec” tube equaliser circuit–that’s right, housed within its diecast aluminium box is a genuine NOS Sylvania 6021 pencil tube and a real inductor, creating a tube buffered passive mid-boost, just like in the “Pultec”. You just can’t beat real analogue electronic hardware when it comes to guitar tone!
This compact tube pedal adds warm and musical sounding vintage mids that work to enrich the natural harmonic character of the guitar. There’s also 18dB of all-tube gain on tap allowing the Blue Bottle™ to push a tube amp into generating a beautiful, singing, bluesy overdrive. Audiophile grade components and silver solder are utilised throughout the circuit along with precision, low noise, metal-film resistors, stellar-quality polyester coupling capacitors and ground-plane layout. The result of all this attention to detail is a mid-boost pedal with a full-bodied, rich and addictive lead tone for solo playing–John seldom bypasses it.
