Even this pedal is an oldie...over 25 years now. It is an early design using the JRC 4558 chip the infamous Tube Screamer ts 808 chip.They made this pedal without any intention of cloning ...it was simply meant to be a better original OD using a good chip. The cloning thing is really something that took hold over the last 10 years.
The JRC 4558 is a dual chip so Lotus took advantage of making two very different voices from it.
It only has a gain and a level but with the gain up and the level down the voice is distinctly different then the reverse.
Creating different blends of the two voices create sounds that suggest
several different pedals rather then one pedal that perhaps can be coloured ...but the basic sound is fixed.
So what does this all mean. Well in general the sounds tend to be raunchy and very aggressive. Not something one would say describing a Tube Screamer. In fact it reminds me a lot of Fulltone's OCD!
...funky, balzy, raw
look out world here I come sound!!!
