Kasleder Toxic Twins

Kasleder Toxic Twins Left Side Gain 13,00 Clock The Toxic Twins is a rock sound oriented dual overdrive machine. A natural organic sound from low gain to full on distortion when both sides are combined. Some overdrive pedals do not sound the same at bedroom level as on a big stage. Well, that’s not the case here! Toxic Twins is faithfully recreating the same sound, wherever and in whatever it is plugged in. Just noodling at home with your well known gear or playing at a gig where you are not sure what rig you will end up with, your core tone from this pedal will be the same. This box is what you might call your one and only desert island pedal. The diodes used in this circuit are a combination of uncommon NOS diodes like the 1N456 used previously in pedals in 1969 well before the opamp overdrive circuits kicked off. 1N4151 that I discovered during the creation of my Dirty Little Thing circuit, trying out endless diode clipping combinations. Left side: Modified Bluesbreaker circuit with it’s tube-like saturation that simulates a breaking up tube amp warmth, dynamics and headroom. A light low gain organic overdrive with a balanced equalisation, like it is a part of your amp. Blends in so well that you are only missing it when you turn it off. Right side: A boutique overdrive that gives you the dynamic crunch sound with the classic mid hump. That immediate instinctive attack needed when you step in front, perfect for boosting solos. Smoky smooth clipping that makes that pleasant sustain almost like the amp is feedbacking. Captured at 48 kHz / 24-bit with an SSL18, using a Radial Pro-RMP reamp box into the pedal and SSL 18 Instrument Input 2 as the return.
