Caroline Icarus 2.1 Overdrive Pedal Overview
Prepare yourself for a dose of “sonic awesomeness” with the Icarus, a pedal that takes inspiration from the preamps of our renowned Parabola and Météore pedals, and then elevates it to new heights. This pedal is a marvel of engineering, featuring multiple gain stages, a finely tuned highs control, and the convenience of both buffered and true bypass options.
With two distinct gain stages at your disposal, you have the power to shape your sound like never before. The first stage provides a clean, full-response boost of up to +12db, giving your tone the punch it deserves. The second stage, equipped with a mix of silicon and Russian germanium components, delivers a harmonious blend of light to medium overdrive, adding colorful character to your playing.
The simple yet elegant high-cut control allows you to tailor your sound to perfection. And for those long cable runs or extensive effect chains, an internal switch effortlessly converts the pedal from true to buffered bypass, ensuring your signal remains pristine even when the pedal is disengaged.
This pedal’s versatility knows no bounds. It transforms small amps into giants and infuses mild-mannered drives with excitement. It’s a secret weapon that revives sluggish fuzzstortions and adds character to otherwise sterile echoverbs. You may not have known you needed it until you plug it in, but once you do, there’s no turning back.
Handcrafted in the USA with utmost care and precision, we take pride in presenting this magic bullet for your sound. Look no further, as you won’t find a better companion to shape your sonic landscape. Embrace the “sonic awesomeness” and witness your music come alive in ways you never thought possible.
