), Thanks again and keep up the quality work! Hi, this is Brandon from Honolulu, HI. Have been playing with the Blackbird for a day. The gain though I rolled down from 7:30 to minimum (about 7:00 on a “clock-face”). Thanks so much!!! Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly. “Tubeless” is great for riding bicycles, but not so great for good guitar tone!

I find that use of solid-state pedals pushes my hearing and testing of speakers into one type of speaker design and construction. In the middle of that, I ran across a used Blackbird (serial number 193) on Reverb.com. I currently use it with a Catalinbread Belle Epoch and then into a Two Notes Torpedo Cab, and could not get a better sound for practicing and playing at home (especially when baby’s sleeping!). , Laurent Guardo - France 1st February 2017.

not real preamps, and your SR-71 does a fantastic job.

Glenn Webster (Fraid Knot) - Great Britain 1st December 2012, Hey Phil – I’m absolutely in LOVE with the new pedals.

I am stunned that I have transitioned from a real Soldano SLO to your pedal and then a stereo system I built into two old (but reconditioned by me) Mesa Satellites . I run all of our speakers through rigorous testing across multiple types of tube amplifiers.

TRS.

So i'm hoping i can make it sound as well, while having enough clean headroom for my specific use. Rolling back the volume knob on your guitar or picking more softly will produce a milder distortion with a more bluesy character making it easy to transition from chord to lead playing. The ‘Blackbird’ is pure genius. I am looking forward to swapping out tubes to see what else I can get out of this. Whisper quiet too. Hello, I just acquired a used recent Blackbird with the Presence switch. I had a Ethos and the Blackbird surpasses it in EVERY way! Simplified my board to the BB and TD now. It's quite hard with some of them.

When the clean channel is engaged the guitar signal is being routed through a grounded cathode stage then into the passive tone stack which is buffered by a cathode follower. Very nice touch in the design of this pedal.

I'm running the Meris midibox under my board. It’s completely natural sounding and one of the few items probably capable of adjusting with any amp. Fabricio de Monaco - Brazil 1st October 2013. I really love my Blackbird, I think it’s going to be my best friend from now on! (I almost spit my coffee when I read it – I was laughing so hard!). Fat, round, smooth, warm, chiming three dimensional goodness came from my monitors! Keeping things out of the red, I noticed that I can run the UA Apollo Channel 2 input comfortably at 30dB behind the PC-2A and the Blackbird. Thanks again for making such incredible stuff my friend. Web site designed & maintained by PB Associates & SOS. Thanks for your help both on the phone and via email. So from the morningstar i'm going to the midibox, which branches out to Polymoon, M7 and Echosystem. I've hooked the midi loop up to the computer as well, and this allows me to save presets from the meris (and send presets to them) via.

I never play without one of my Blackbirds on clean channel, its always on. The more I play with the Blackbird, the more I am impressed with it. It can be tricky holding on to your pedals, Phil!

Please pass along my appreciation to Phil for making such an awesome pedal! Thanks Phil! It really gives an extra depth and sparkle – similar to replacing old strings with new – again really haven’t had a lot of time to experiment but I think this has huge potential, especially for picking – just need a couple of weeks off work now!

The whole thing is powered by a 12V DC mains adaptor and Effectrode have sensibly included a good-quality wall-wart adaptor with the Blackbird. I had a thorough hands-on with the Blackbird this past weekend: David brought his along to our weekend’s rehearsal-slash-jam session. Nick Reffold - Great Britain 1st January 2016. Jazz and country tones from the 2902? This Blackbird’s EQ is fantastic. Problem was I mainly use the clean Channel.



I flippin’ love that preamp [Blackbird], it’s a thing of beauty! While I still trying to make up my mind, I ran across a used AMT SS-11a and a used SS-11b on the website of the Musician’s Friend triumvirate. Thanks for a terrific product. Thanks Dale. It sounds fantastic. Take care and go Beaves! Let me say right away that I love this preamp. The Blackbird is very touch sensitive and dynamic, responding to my guitar’s volume knob and playing. I run my Blackbird directly into the PA system at church and it sounds fantastic. Thank you for such a fantastic product, I just can’t stop thinking about it and count the minutes that I can be back in my studio and making/recording music again! I’ve looked forever to find a distortion pedal that would work well with my basses. I hope the week is winding down well at the shop for you and Sam! Additionally, setting the ‘Treble’ control at about 2 o’clock and ‘Middle’ at 9 to 10 o’clock will make the gain channel sound similar to the clean channel voicing.

Hey it’s Joe Hecht from the States checking in.

It’s not often I feel this way about pedals and am feeling like a mad man! I’ve just been enjoying the Blackbird – this pedal is fantastic. I am a different man after I spend time with your products.

I’m going to get PC-2A compressor, Fire Bottle Boost, and in all likelihood, the Mercury Fuzz also. It combined with the Tube-Vibe is quite a combo for creativity. I almost feel like I should have to pass an audition just to be worthy of owning one like a Dumble amp or something. The Blackbird from Effectrode is a two-channel, valve-driven guitar preamp.

While it sounds good, it came too close to the Nomad and Mark IV.

The eq is great on all channels. This sounds so good its amazing. Anyway, I adjusted the internal bias trimpot because it was set quite cold for 12ax7s (love the result!) Tube Buffered Output: For connection to guitar amplifier. The new design is cool and I like the retro look. I like being able to pick between even and odd harmonics. The Mercury works great with all of the drive tones (Tube Drive, Blackbird blue channel, Blackbird red channel after it). Personally I use mine when I’m going to end up running through a PA – the Blackbird paired with a CabZeus simulator sounds far better than a mic’d amp and gives the sound people way more control. I do believe that this is an example of the total being greater than the sum of the parts. Maybe it was the volume? I love the way that second channel is now a nicely controlled drive to distortion and thoroughly usable for bass. ), Wow! Both Mesas are excellent amps. These settings were going for same ballpark tone with both pedals but the different preamp “channels” sounded vastly different in texture & interaction between the frequency ranges. (I know, I know. I can verify that there is some kind of magic pixie dust sauce, swirling around in the Blackbird’s tubes! Starting with the green clean mode, it was exactly as I had hoped. After sales service is alive and well at Effectrode.

I want to make sure it is set properly, or at least know what it controls before I experiment. THAT is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!! Nonetheless, I love that I have two options to use the PC-2A/Blackbird: (1) in front of an amp input for studio mic’ing or live, and (2) the Blackbird’s direct recording output which includes the green/blue/red channel voicing’s (when things need to be quiet in the home studio). I have been playing guitar for almost 40 years and have had some great tones, amps and pedals over that time, but this?! It’s such a pleasure to use.
