CELESTIAL EFFECTS CAPRICORN ROCK DISTORTION: This little monster is all about gain, body and tone! The Capricorn can be tamed to produce a nice fat bark or cranked to provide searing fuzzy overdrive tones with massive amounts of gain! Two settable gain stages define the amount of power you crave and a bit of clean keeps the Capricorn grounded and very definitive all without a tone control. The Capricorn Rock Distortion is a very versatile boost/overdrive/distortion effect. It can deliver anything from sweet creamy boost tones to gut wrenching all out, nearly uncontrollable distortion. Built like a tank using the best components available, including an aluminum powder coated enclosure. The Capricorn is a true bypass pedal and uses no buffers or inline tone circuits in its design. It features two independently controllable gain stages. The first section is a transistor based gain stage, similar to most fuzz type effects. This section's overall gain is controlled by the LIMIT knob on the front panel. This stage can be set from a one to one gain of your guitar signal to a ten to one gain. There is enough power in the section alone to push tube amps into overdrive by itself. The tone developed in this transistor stage is bright and edgy with a hint of fuzz. The second gain stage is achieved using single paralleled priority high fidelity opamp amplifier. This gain of this stage is controlled by the GAIN and EDGE knobs. This opamp section is darker and smoother sounding than the transistor gain section. The Capricorn does not take over your tone but enhances it transparently. With the gain set one to one of your guitar signal, you will notice a fuller, clearer tone. With all the controls set to 10, a crunchy, edgy, harmonically rich tone with violin like singing sustain is produced. Rolling back the EDGE control will smooth out the tone to your exact preference.
