The pedal is designed to enhance mid-range frequencies, offering a versatile sound that is neither an overdrive nor a wah sound. It provides a supreme British-feeling, large output amp tone with excellent guitar tonal balance. The single Blend control allows for a powerful mid-range boost up to eight times (+15dB) of the input signal, without raising the acoustic volume significantly.
The Purple Humper can be used with both clean and distorted amp settings, and its frequency range is broad enough for any type of music that requires an extra boost. It is suitable for use with single coil, humbucker, P-90, and active pickups, ensuring high-quality sound across different setups.
The pedal can be placed at any point in the effect chain and is recommended for use by itself initially to fully understand its effect. It can be used as a lead booster, to control an amp's brightness, or to create a shiny British sound when combined with other effects.
