Rad sickness
3x silicon active booster
this sucker is nuclear
The RAD SICKNESS is an incredible utility pedal. The piles of volume and treble, as well as the EQ, make it a handy solo boost. It will also make everything that comes after it in the signal path sound better; shape your EQ heading into a one-knob fuzz, perk up a dark overdrive, breathe new life into your favorite dirtbox, or add some zing to time/modulation effects without overwhelming them. The RAD is also an easy-to-dial-in bass dirt machine that will give you that hint of grind you’re missing with your solid state bass amp. Hell - crank the gain, boost the mids, and turn up the treble - it’ll function as a solid little overdrive on its own. There is no limit to the fun things you can do with the RAD SICKNESS.
controls
Gain: Roll clockwise for a high gain boost that eases into a hint of nasty silicon overdrive at the top of the scale. Roll counterclockwise for a clean, high fidelity boost.
Bass: ‘Flat’ position allows the full level of your input bass signal through. 'Cut’ rolls off some of the bass frequencies for a tighter sound. ‘Boost’ adds gain in the lows, giving you some extra dirt and a nastier low end.
Level: Volume control. This pedal is loud - start low and dial up to the level you need.
Treble: Turn clockwise to blast your amp with gain in the high frequencies, old-school treble booster style but with a nasty silicon cut. Turn counterclockwise to roll off treble. Flat/unity treble is at approximately 9 o’clock - there is a TON of treble to work with.
Mids: Flip the toggle to ‘Boost’ for a precisely-placed, just-right gain boost in the midrange. This will give you increased presence and slice through the mix like a hot butter knife through room-temperature butter.
