MI Effects Cross Over Drive Prymaxe Exclusive

The backbone of the Cross Over Drive are four discontinued FET
transistors designed to capture the response and touch-sensitivity of an
amp’s organic overdrive. But making a FET stage behave like a
particular tube stage is actually a very complex affair and is not a
simple substitute like most other FET-based preamp circuits. Our
experience in designing valve amplifiers at MI Audio has seen us obsess
over every minute detail of the Cross Over Drive’s circuit from
operating points, dynamic range, scaling of clipping thresholds, output
impedances, intrinsic capacitances due to the Miller Effect you get the
idea! This obsession has led to an original pedal design like no other
that becomes a natural extension of your guitar, amp and playing style.


The most coveted guitar tones are those where the guitar, player and
amplifier work as one. Every attack on the guitar string, be it by
plectrum or finger pick, legato to down-stroke, neck or bridge pickup
–all provide a different tone and feel that traditional overdrive pedals
can struggle to capture. This response has been the driving force
behind the design of the Cross Over Drive and this attention to detail
is what sets it apart from the pack.


Controls are:


GAIN - The Cross Over Drive is a boost/enhancer adding some extra
sparkle to the guitar’s natural tone. Mid gain mode gives some nice,
complex, tube-like overdrive but allows clean-up of the signal via the
guitar’s volume knob that A/B’s well against a standard clean. Add a bit
more gain for a smooth, harmonic-rich, sustaining lead sound from 70′s
rock to jazz-fusion and crank it to enter loose fuzz territory for those
big stoner-rock riffs! Due to the nature of its design, every player
will make this pedal sound their own – responding to every nuance and
attack of your style and genre.


The two knob EQ of DETAIL and BALANCE helps maintain the full drive
sound whilst allowing for refinement of the top- and bottom-end.


DETAIL – provides the body of the overdrive tone with lower settings perfect for bright amplifiers.


BALANCE – allows for the adjustment of the amount of top-end
harmonics for either a smooth, round lead sound or turned up for a tone
that will cut through a mix.
