The Poly Effects Josh Smith Flat V is a super-flexible and sophisticated 2-channel gain pedal, designed in collaboration with modern blues maestro Josh Smith. Let’s dive into the details:
Channel A:
- Transistor-based with selectable diodes (Schottky, Germanium, Silicon, and LED).
- Offers versatile gain options.
- 100% analog signal path for punchy, organic tones.
- MIDI control over all sliders, switches, channel routing, blending, and presets.
Channel B:
- Amp-style gain circuit with cascaded JFETs replacing valves.
- Synth-inspired resonant filters shape the tone.
- Two sides for each preset, allowing blending between two values of each slider.
- Blending options include waveshapes, MIDI, or an envelope reacting to your playing.
- Complex effects like tremolo, envelope filter, and auto-wah are achievable.
Synth-Like Control:
- Choose stacking order of channels, diode types, and gain.
- Two 24dB 4-pole resonant synth-style analogue filters (similar to those found in Oberheim synths) add character and versatility.
- These filters can even self-oscillate, turning the pedal into a synth!
Unique Effects:
- Each preset has two sides (related to Channel B).
- Blend between slider controls for tremolo, swells, envelope filter, and auto-wah.
- The spread/depth control (called SENS) adjusts the blend between sides.
Power Supply:
- Requires a 150mA 9V center-negative power supply (not included).
The Poly Effects Josh Smith Flat V goes beyond a standard overdrive pedal, offering immense flexibility and creative possibilities. Whether you’re a blues player or an experimental sound artist, this pedal has you covered!
