| MALEKKO MAESTRO BRASSMASTER.
Paul Barker has relied on the Maestro Brassmaster for years to
give his guitar a unique sound not found anywhere else. Using his
trusted Brassmaster as reference, Josh and Paul have worked hard so
that the Malekko B:ASSMASTER sounds exactly like the original.
The
Malekko B:ASSMASTER also includes a number of much needed modern
updates: popless true bypass, uniquely recessed LED, smaller sturdy
alluminum enclosure, top of the line components, and virtually
indestructable lexan graphics.
Although the B:ASSMASTER's controls look simple, they yield an amazing amount of tonal variations.
First,
the B:ASSMASTER has the unique ability to turn up the fuzz (ass volume)
or clean signal (bass volume) seperately. Thanks to this design, you
can actually use the B:ASSMASTER as a beefy clean boost by turning the
fuzz volume (ass) and fuzz intensity (sensitivity) all the way off, and
then turning the clean volume (bass) all the way up.
Also, as
you mix the fuzz and clean signal via the ass and bass knobs, there is
no signal or tone loss of either (which is an amazing feat with how
intense the fuzz can get).
The fuzz's intensity is controlled
via the sensitivity knob, with a sound on guitar ranging from octavia
to highly compressed brassy vintage fuzz. Using the harm and ass
flipswitches you can shape the tone of the fuzz to go from bass heavy,
to highs rolled off, to thin.
The rest of the B:ASSMASTER design
is simple with the true bypass stomp switch located far away from the
controls and standard 1/4" input / output situated on the upper side of
the pedal along with a 2.1 mm 9v DC jack (there is also a battery snap
inside the pedal).
