Designed by pedal videographer Eric Merrow as an all-in-one gain solution for any pedalboard, the ELM Effects Sky Bridge (initially presented under the Lefty Guitars Daily The Cannon moniker) is multi-gain stage overdrive featuring an extra boost with separate footswitch and controls.
The amount of boost can be controlled through the orange knob and it’s placed before the drive, which delivers articulate and dynamic overdriven and -at higher settings – distorted tones, while the two EQ knobs cut or boost bass and treble frequencies, providing extra tone-sculpting options.
Check out the videos of the Sky Bridge, below.
The Sky Bridge is designed to be an all-in-one gain solution for your pedalboard. The cascading boost & drive circuits allow for many different combos & types of gain staging for your instrument. Each circuit can be turned on/off independently. With both circuits engaged, the boost runs into the drive. The active two band EQ section gives you the power to shape your ideal drive sound. The drive circuit (noted in blue) is very dynamically reactive to your playing and focuses on producing clear and articulate gain. The boost circuit (noted in orange) is voiced to retain your instrument’s fundamental tone and add a touch of clarity and sparkle to your sound. From light drive to full blown fuzz – The Sky Bridge delivers as much gain as you want!
