Chorus and Vibrato

Distortion

P-1

The Pete Cornish P-1 is the world's first double-isolated fuzz or distortion pedal. It is designed to deliver a fat, high-gain, searing lead sound, making it ideal for solos and heavy rock rhythm work. The pedal features a high impedance RFI rejecting input and bypass buffer, which is hand-built, wired, and tested by Pete, Lynda, and Mingus Cornish. The input to the P-1 is a high impedance, unity gain, class A, buffer preamp with superior RFI rejecting capability, eliminating radio station interference. It also has a low impedance audio output, allowing the use of extended cable runs in bypass mode. The pedal incorporates a second unity gain, class A, buffer that isolates the fuzz or overdrive section from the clean bypass section, preventing "Ghost Distortion" in bypass mode. The tone facility on the P-1 provides treble boost when set clockwise and bass boost when set counterclockwise. Settings in-between provide varying amounts of high and low frequency boosting. The pedal is housed in a rugged die-cast box with chicken-head pointer knobs and a heavy-duty all-metal footswitch with a hi-brite, low power consumption LED. The P-1 allows for easy battery replacement via a removable drawer and also features an input for a DC adapter. The preferred battery type is MN1604, and the adapter should be noise-free, fully stabilized at 9V DC, and capable of supplying 20mA. The pedal's dimensions are 171 x 121 x 55 mm. The unit comes with a warranty of twelve months from the date of purchase, covering repairs of any original manufacturing fault. For more information, please visit the official Pete Cornish website.

G-2

The Pete Cornish G-2™ is a highly acclaimed distortion unit designed for guitarists in the rock arena. It features a four-stage overdriven discrete transistor Class A circuit with additional Germanium components, producing warmer sounding harmonics. The G-2™ is known for preserving the original guitar sound and dynamics, creating a more musical effect than other distortion pedals. Key Features: \- Four-stage overdriven discrete transistor Class A circuit with additional Germanium components \- High Impedance, Unity Gain, Class A, Buffer Preamp with superior RFI rejecting capability \- Low Impedance output for extended cable runs in bypass mode \- Rugged die-cast box with lined control knobs \- Heavy-duty custom-made all-metal footswitch with large cap and protection ring, plus Hi-Brite LED \- Easy battery replacement via a removable "drawer" \- Input for a DC adapter (5.5/2.1mm, center pin negative, 9V DC, 20mA) \- Hand-built, wired, and tested by Pete, Lynda, and Mingus Cornish \- Dimensions: 171 x 121 x 55 mm / 6.75 x 4.75 x 2.2 inches Warranty Details: \- Built using the finest available components and constructed to the highest standards \- Twelve-month warranty from the date of purchase for original manufacturing faults \- Warranty void if guarantee labels are damaged or removed \- Warranty does not apply to customer's own equipment connected to the unit The G-2™ is recommended to be fed into a clean, full-frequency response amplifier for optimal performance. It is designed to provide a higher level of overdrive, starting at the rhythmic crunch stage and progressing to a rounded but dynamic lead, reminiscent of classic cranked up Marshall sounds found in British rock records of the 70s.

Overdrive and Boost

NG-2

The Pete Cornish NG-2 is a battery-free fuzz pedal designed to simulate "Imminent Amp Death." It features several separate stages that allow the user to tune it to their desired degree of 'I.A.D.' The first stage is a Linear DRIVE with up to +27dB of gain feeding the second stage, a stabilized "Germanium" preamp which overloads smoothly when overdriven. The third stage simulates a tube amp that has been underbiased or has suffered serious tube or output transformer failure, providing a unique sound just before the fuse blows. The SUSTAIN control adjusts the signal level into the third section and can be adjusted from 'Tired Output Tubes' to 'Melted Tubes and Shorted Output Transformer.' TONE and VOLUME controls complete the ensemble to allow matching to the bypassed signal. Features: \- High Impedance RFI rejecting input and bypass buffer \- Hand-built, wired, and tested by Pete, Lynda, and Mingus Cornish \- Housed in a rugged die-cast box with 'Chicken-Head' pointer knobs \- Heavy-duty custom-made all-metal footswitch with Hi-Brite LED \- Input for a DC adaptor: 5.5/2.1mm coax connector, center pin negative, 9V DC, 20mA \- Dimensions: 145 X 95 X 49 mm \- Warranty: Two years from the date of purchase for original manufacturing faults The NG-2 is designed for guitarists looking for a unique and customizable fuzz pedal that can deliver a wide range of tones, from subtle overdrive to extreme fuzz, replicating the sound of a failing tube amp.
