The Dirty Blonde by Menatone is a guitar effect pedal designed to replicate the classic blonde tolexed American amp tones from the early '60s. It features an input impedance of 1M ohm and an output impedance of less than 50k ohm. The pedal operates on a +9v Alkaline battery or power supply, with internal voltage doubling. The pedal is known for its big, round bottom end and twangy, sweet top, making it suitable for country, blues, rockabilly, and other rootsy styles. It also includes a PUSH control for adding a huge midrange punch and roar, as well as innovative tone controls that create a 'sweet spot' throughout their entire range. The 'Soul' control adds harmonic complexity and saturation similar to a class A amp when cranked up. The Dirty Blonde is hand- wired and point-to-point, providing a high-quality and reliable overdrive effect for guitarists.
