Embra Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 (edited) Fake Plastic Trees preamp/drive pedal SOLD Excellent condition One of the best, if not the best, overdrives I've ever owned; it can get very gnarly too or just used as a touch of hair. I'm downsizing my pedal collection (there's quite a bit on eBay too), hence the sale. Blurb from their website: The Fake Plastic Trees (FPT) is a scrupulously engineered, solid state homage to the array of euphonic joy available on the *‘line out’ of our much loved The Big Trees (TBT). ‘But what’s inside?’, I hear you cry! The following are a few of the elements: Class A, hand-graded JFETs, a discrete stage modelling the EL84 grid-clipping profile, a custom Mumetal output transformer, TBT speaker load, and a Class A line driver. The combination of those components, plus the painstaking refinement of each element have crystallised into a pedal which has the ultra-dynamic feel and irresistible playability that have become Audio Kitchen hallmarks. As I type, there are very few of these out in the wild, but in the same way as TBT has spread its canopy of application further than I could have imagined, I’m eager to see what you all make of this new addition. Gain – This controls the level of preamp signal presented to the output stage and as such will control the degree of break-up. Root – This controls the level of bass frequencies present in your tone. Branch – This controls the level of treble frequencies present in your tone. Volume – This controls the level of signal present at the Out jack when the LED is lit. Footswitch – This selects whether FPT is in circuit (LED on) or bypassed (LED off). 9VDC Connector – Standard Boss type supply, centre negative, 100mA. - Class A Guitar/ Bass Preamp Pedal - FPT will NOT drive a speaker! - Nominal Output Impedance: <1KOhm - Controls: - Gain, Baxandall-based EQ – “Root” (bottom), “Branch” (top) , “Volume” master volume) - Power Requirement: - Standard 9VDC @ 100mA, 2.1mm, Centre-Negative. - Durable, die-cast aluminium enclosure - Dimensions Approx: - 116mm x 91mm x 55mm (W x D x H) 4.6" x 3.6" x 2.2" (W x D x H) - Weight: 500g (1.1lbs) Edited July 24 by Embra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
