Providence HBL-3 HEAT BLASTER Brand: Providence Scratches and dirt, but operation has been confirmed. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor imperfections. Body only [Manufacturer's Description] ● The PROVIDENCE/HEAT BLASTER is a distortion pedal with a modern sound. Although it's a pedal-sized effector, it has rich overtones and a fast response that rivals modern high-gain tube amps. It can create a distortion sound with a strong presence in a band sound ensemble. It also reduces the excessive compression often found in distortion pedals. It is also recommended to use it in combination with the clean channel of a multi-channel amp. ● The HEAT BLASTER's circuit uses a single-contact true bypass circuit, where the audio signal passes through only one switch circuit during bypass, unlike the usual True-Bypass circuit, which passes through two switch circuits when bypassing. As a result, it is possible to improve the reliability of the product and obtain higher sound quality than ever before. ● The D.C.G. circuit (Double Contact Grounding Circuit) is used, which connects the ground side of the effector with two contacts on the shield side of the mono plug connected to the output jack. By increasing the contact area, poor contact is less likely to occur, which is also advantageous in terms of sound quality.
