The Lovetone Cheese Source is a highly sought-after pedal due to its unique features and capabilities. It is a combination of the Big Cheese and Brown Source pedals, offering a range of functionalities for guitar and bass applications.
The Source section of the Cheese Source pedal provides a subtle overdrive effect, delivering soft psychedelic amp distortion reminiscent of classic sounds from the late 60s and early 70s. It offers controls for Drive, Tone, and Volume, allowing for a wide variety of driven sounds. The Tone control interacts with a three-position switch, providing a preset EQ control for adjusting the top end of the signal.
The Cheese section of the pedal is a loving homage to the buzzy, harmonically rich early fuzz. It features controls for Curds (gain), Whey (volume), and a Tone control with a three-position switch for adjusting the EQ curves. The Cheese section offers a distinct character of its own, with innovative controls that can take it from almost "gated" break-up to overkill of shred proportions.
The pedal also offers flexible routing options, allowing the Source and Cheese sections to be used independently or in combination, providing many interesting tonal combinations. Additionally, the Cheese Source can be used as an insert effect within the Meatball's effects loop, offering further sonic possibilities.
The Cheese Source pedal is designed to run on 9V PP3 batteries or a 12V external power supply. It is built with solid construction using pressed metal, and its control knobs and switches are mounted directly onto a single circuit board, providing durability for both studio and live performance use.
Overall, the Lovetone Cheese Source pedal offers a range of tonal possibilities for guitar and bass applications, with its unique combination of overdrive and fuzz effects, flexible routing options, and solid construction.
