The PedalPalFX PAL800 GOLD: Iconic British Amp Tones in a Boutique Pedal
Authentic British Overdrive with Versatile Gain Voicing
The PedalPalFX PAL800 GOLD Overdrive is a meticulously crafted pedal designed to capture the legendary tones of iconic British amps. As the second version of the 800 series, known as the "Gold Version," this pedal builds upon the company’s extensive experience with their PAL 800 JCM Emulator and PAL 959 Plexi Emulator. Featuring a three-position Gain Voicing switch, the PAL800 GOLD offers unparalleled flexibility, making it a go-to overdrive for players seeking authentic amp-like tones in a boutique package.
Gain Voicing Switch for Customizable Tone
The three-position Gain Voicing switch allows players to dial in different tonal responses in the pedal's gain section:
- Middle Position: Flat response, ideal for low-gain settings below 11 o'clock on the Gain knob.
- Lower Position: Adds more mids and bass for a fuller tone.
- Upper Position: Boosts brightness while reducing bass for cutting, articulate tones.
The impact of the Gain Voicing switch becomes more pronounced at lower gain settings, offering a wide spectrum of tonal possibilities. At higher gain levels, the switch has minimal effect, allowing you to focus on the pedal’s natural saturation.
Boutique Design and Precision Craftsmanship
Each PAL800 GOLD Overdrive is hand-assembled and tested by the founders of PedalPalFX to ensure maximum performance. With limited monthly production, this pedal is a true boutique offering, delivering unique tonal character and exceptional build quality.
Amp-Like Dynamics and True Bypass Switching
The PAL800 GOLD responds dynamically to your playing, preserving the nuances of your technique while adding rich harmonic overdrive. True hardwire bypass switching ensures your signal remains pristine when the pedal is disengaged.
Compact and Durable for Any Setup
Built with rugged materials, the PAL800 GOLD is designed for reliability on the road or in the studio. Its compact size makes it easy to integrate into any pedalboard setup, while its intuitive controls—Volume, Tone, and Gain—make it straightforward to use.
