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.
