Liquid Sunshine by Subdecay

The Liquid Sunshine by Subdecay is a Class A overdrive pedal designed for guitarists seeking tube amp-like tones. It was introduced in 2004 and has been a mainstay of Subdecay's stompbox lineup. The pedal bucks the current popular trends of overdrive pedals, offering a unique overdrive in the truest form.

Key Features:
- The pedal features two drive knobs, with the top drive knob pushing the full range and the bottom drive knob pushing the midrange and treble.
- It is designed to add to your tone without overwhelming it, offering low gain settings for tube power amp-like compression and higher gain settings for sustaining rock overdrive.
- The all jFET design does not produce any "sharp edges" or hard clipping.
- Equally well suited as an overdrive for a clean amplifier or for pushing a cranked amp over the edge.
- The pedal loves being stacked and excels when pushed by other dirt boxes.
- It is also great for warming up your tone and is described by many users as "tweedy" or "voxy."

Technical Specifications:
- Powered by a 9-volt battery or a regulated 9VDC to 18VDC adapter with a negative center 2.1mm barrel style plug.
- Current draw is less than 10mA.
- Input impedance is 1M, and output impedance varies from 10k to 50K.
- The pedal is hand-made in Oregon and features die-cast metal enclosures for durability.
- It uses 3PDT switches for true bypass switching and includes a red LED indicator.
- The pedal comes with a three-year limited warranty.

Dimensions:
- Length: 4.40"
- Width: 2.36"
- Height: 1.05"

The Liquid Sunshine MKIII, an updated version of the pedal, offers similar characteristics with better control. It is slightly more transparent than earlier versions, especially at low gain settings, and features an emphasis control that replaces the second drive knob.
