From the vendor
Project overview
The Black Mirror is a defined and powerful bass overdrive, with an intuitive format that contains brutality and clarity at the same time.
Introduction
Black Mirror delivers killer waves in an intuitive friendly-user way. Build it and immediately have the sound of a high-powered tube amp at your disposal! You can then use the simple controls to go from a tight, responsive boost to an all-out distorted assault.
Controls
• Attack Switch: Sets the amount of treble content to saturate.
• Grunt Switch: Sets the amount of low-frequency content to saturate by selecting between three different bass boost levels before the clipping stage.
• Blend control: Mixes the clean input signal with the overdriven signal.
• EQ Loop allows you to connect an external EQ before the blend knob.
