Tech 21 Sansamp Character Plus English Muffy Overdrive Pedal

The original SansAmp Character Series was introduced in 2008. These pedals commemorated a range of eras within specific amplifier personalities, of which there were 8 in total. By simply twisting a few knobs, you could build the most sought-after tones and hot rod your own. From rare vintage classics to roaring modern icons, every variation was delivered in their own distinctive voicings.

We wanted to broaden the range of tonal options and took that concept a step further to include additional building blocks. Because there’s a certain chemistry between specific pairings that will forever be a part of history. Think Ralph & Alice. Fred & Wilma. Lucy & Ricky.  Abbott & Costello.  Bonnie & Clyde. They all made a lot of noise and they all had a lot of fun!

English Muffy  =  HiWatt-style + Big Muff-style

Range of Character Settings:
• Below 12 o’clock yields clean, classic HiWatt-style tones.  
• Nearing 12 o’clock brings you into crunchier territory associated with ‘70s Who-style tunes such as Who Are You, Baba O’Riley, and We Won’t Get Fooled Again.
• Above 12 o’clock accentuates upper mids for Gilmour/Floyd-style leads.  
• Full up may cause your mate or your lead singer to flee the premises, which could be desirable in certain circumstances.

Independent Muff Section:
• SUSTAIN to adjust the overall amount of fuzz.
• TONE is a very musical, specialized passive tilt EQ, based on the original ‘60s stompbox design
