Vielleicht nicht ganz die eierlegende Wollmilchsau, aber sehr nahe dran! Das Distortion No. 5 Plus kriegt von Boost über TS808 bis hin zu Hi Gain alles gebacken - unbedingt das Video dazu anschauen!!
Die Möglichkeiten sind so vielfältig, wie der nachfolgende Text zur Funktionsbeschreibung lang ist... LESEN!
Drive N5 Plus is pure analog circuit, based on FET technology. It consists of extremely complex drive generating circuit, frequency response shaping network and equalization system. The Signals are processed by these three parts, this makes it perfect in freq response, picking attack and dynamic response.
The most outstanding feature that you can feel the tone is natural, transparent and clear. In order to achive our ultimate goal, always performing and working perfectly under any type of amp clean channel and guitar, the Drive N5 Plus features the huge adjustability. Its EQ covers the full frequency band, and can be adjusted in a wide dynamic range.
The engine of Drive N5 Plus is made up of the Drive Generating Stages and the Tone Shaping Network. The Drive Generating Stages is equipped with two GAIN SATURATION options and three GAIN STRUCTURE options. In the Tone Shaping Network part, Drive N5 Plus offers two choices of frequency spectrums ,called TONE INDESTITY. Based on the combination of these settings, the Drive N5 Plus can provide up to 12 basic drive tone of totally different styles. These tone covers the range fromCrunch to Ultra High-Gain. After the drive tone is generated, it is transmitted to the Full Frequency EQ System, then this EQ system makes the final correction to the drive tone.
By combining with full EQ settings and a variety of tone-related switches, users can adjust and get any desired tone and can also learn the composition of the tone through extensive adjustment of the Drive N5 Plus.
As early as 2010, we started the development plans of the Distortion No.5. The Original idea comes from whether the tone of the distortion pedal can copy the tone of tube amp. We really love the distortion tone of tube amps, from dynamic to frequency response to picking attack, it is all perfect and fascinating. Some classic tone of many famous masters are all based on the distortion tone of tube amps. Then, we have experienced for more than 5 years of research and development.In the beginning, we did not have any specific ideas and have been troubled about the problem of frequency response, the progress was very slow. The early experiment were brought to the performance stage on trial, under the huge sound pressure, the performance of No.5 was far worse than the tube amps. So, we did comparison tests between No.5 and almost all well-knownbrands of tube amp, and over the next years, after tens of thousands of modification, the design of No.5 was finalized.The new design makes the No.5 infinitely close to the tube amp in frequency response, details of dynamic and playing sensitivity, that is, it make the No.5 more like the tube amp.Just choose a right clean channel, the No.5 can make you bring the tone you like to anywhere.
The panel of the No.5 looks complicated, in fact, after classification, it is so easy when compared with the panel of the amp. The No.5 has 6 adjustable parameters, GAIN, VOLUME, TREBLE, MID, BASS and PRESENCE. These parameters are the same with amp’s. You can adjust the basic characteristics of distortion tone by using them. It should be noted that the setting of EQ frequency point is the result of neutralizing the frequency point of several top High-Gain tube amp heads(BOGNER, ENGL, MESA BOOGIE).The EQ frequency point of them are very similar, and they are all designed for High-Gain distortion tone, so, the tone direction has been positioned.The dynamic range of GAIN knob is very large, so in the Low-Gain state with minimal amount of distortion, it will not occur so-called “”, the tone is very natural. The Distortion No.5 has 3 toggle switches, GAIN BOOST(MODE), MID RANGE and TOP END. As an amp channel distortion, increasing gain stage is very common practice. You can select two levels of gain stage by using GAIN BOOST switch. The MID RANGE switch is used to choose the mid frequency point which adjusted by MID knob. The different style of music has the different requirements of mid frequency, in this case, the choose of MID RANGE is very necessary. For example, in the riff tone used in the heavy music, the mid frequency points are generally low, this is in order to reach the function of filling and strengthening the low frequency, so this tone sounds more solid and strong; In the solo tone, generally, we want it is more wide and stereoscopic, in this case, the mid frequency point should move toward the direction of the high frequency.The TOP END switch can add rich overtones to your tone, and it also can enhance the playing sensitivity. The TOP END switch will amplify the UHF, and then, evenly distribute them over all the strings. So the TOP END switch is not only can improve the high frequency on the treble strings, but also enhance the ones on the bass strings. This makes the riff tone more sonorous and forceful, and makes the solo tone more “”. The frequency response of the Distortion No.5 is very similar to the tube amp’s. You won’t never hear the harsh high frequency when using the No.5. The allocation of frequencies is reasonable and natural. The match of the frequency structure makes unforgettable tone. The No.5 can catch all the details of your playing, regardless of the level of the playing or the slight adjustment of the knob on the guitar, the No.5 can carefully reflected all of these discretely. The response to the input signal of the No.5 is very quick. When a signal appears at the input port, another signal is on the output side soon. The tone head is expressed completely, and you won’t feel clumsy. The playing sensitivity of the No.5 is very high.
