We’ll let the expert YouTube demo-man Ryan describe what this new germanium boost from Electrofoods does and how it sounds:
Three otherworldly Soviet germanium transistors in this original circuit provide a grit that is warm and organic, while active treble and mids controls let you dial in exactly the sound you want. A deep switch extends the low frequency response for basses, keys, and downtuned guitars. With all that plus a massive amount of volume on tap, the Germ Warfare is a Je Ne Sais Quoi generator – it will make your amp and all of your other pedals sound better.***Controls Description***Gain – Roll clockwise for a gritty, organic boost. Roll counterclockwise to add a hint of gain, warmth and character to your signal.Norm/Deep – Two position toggle switch. Deep lets all of your original low-end content through. Norm rolls off some of the lows for a tighter sound.Treble – Active treble control with a ton of treble on tap. Start with the control at 9 o’clock for a flat response. Roll counterclockwise for reduced treble, and clockwise for a whole lot more.Mids – Two position toggle switch. Flat is…well, flat. Boost adds 6db of gain to your middle frequencies for cut and clarity.Volume – There is an extreme amount of volume on tap. This. Pedal. Gets. Loud. Start with this knob low and slowly dial up until you reach the volume you want.Each Electrofoods Ultd pedal is hand-made in Philadelphia, PA by two wildly unreasonable people. Each design is the result of a ludicrous amount of R&D, hours of high-volume testing, and more revisions than we can count.
