POKER

VINTAGE INSPIRED BOOST, DRIVE & TONE-SHAPER with a single low gain silicon transistor at its heart, which is essentially my take and development on the classic "treble booster" type theme... but it's WAY MORE than just that!

You get the lovely throaty tonality and organic feel you'd expect from a vintage treble booster type circuit, that is wonderful for pushing a drive pedal or amp on the edge of breakup into characterful singing saturation.
But the POKER has a lot more scope and versatility than the average treble booster, with its wide ranging controls and original features. This includes the 6-way rotary MODE switch, which selects different levels input bass filtering (thin, medium and fat) in either classic booster or distortion clipping modes, for a really wide palette of distinctive tones and responses. 

The POKER interacts highly with your instrument's passive volume and tone controls to create cleaner responses and smoother tones.

Every pedal is lovingly and meticulously designed, handmade and hand-wired in England by Neil R. Grimes using top quality components.

There is a range of variations and customisations available when ordering:

3 knob
Controls for LOUD (master output volume with lots on level boost on tap), TREB (high frequency filtering) and 6-way rotary MODE switch (thin/medium/fat classic boost and thin/medium/fat with distortion clipping), plus an internal trimmer for overall gain reduction. Single true-bypass footswitch with large status LED.

3 knob / 2 FS
Additional GAIN footswitch gives instant access to full or reduced gain levels. Full gain indicated by lit smaller LED. Reduced gain level set by internal trimmer which can be adjust by user to taste.

Further variations, additions and customisations available by special request.

As standard, all these versions come with anodised aluminium logo/model faceplates and my special control name labelled knobs using anodised aluminium inserts, housed in robust aluminium enclousres (112 x 60mm) with either a hand-finished textured satin silver appearance or with textured black powder-coat.
Other enclosure colours, shapes, sizes and styles are available by special request.  
Input, output and 9VDC sockets are all top edge mounted with good space between, insuring a compact footprint and ease of use within pedalboard setups.
Studio quality cabling is specially adapted for the passive input and output runs, with a very low capacitance and braided sheilding around to ensure the highest fidelity bypass signal and low noise operation.
