The Schaffer Replica “Storm”
Winner of Guitar Player Magazine Editor’s Pick!
Since we first introduced the Schaffer Replica EX “Tower” our customers’ most
popular request has been for us to create a pedalboard-friendly stomp box with
the same circuit. Well, you spoke and we listened! To our loyal fans who have
waited so patiently, we proudly introduce the Solo Dallas Storm.
FEATURES
GAIN knob controls our signature gain circuit that bumps the crucial low- mid frequencies responsible for giving live instruments punch and making them stand out in the mix (think Angus Young guitar tone).
BOOST knob controls a powerful pre-amp capable of delivering a whopping 31db of clean boost. This analog boost is perfect for making lead parts stand out, adding fullness to the signal going into the front end of your amplifier or pushing it into oblivion!
LIMITER knob controls Ken Schaffer’s signature Opto-Isolator limiter. This optical analog circuit naturally limits the audio signal going into the pedal’s circuitry (unlike the complimentary compandor circuit which smooths out amplitude after the signal reaches its peak). Limiting is commonly used by mastering engineers to transparently raise overall level, without the risk of clipping and distortion generally associated with gain increases. Sensitivity of this effect may be fine tuned for different output pickups or to give your instrument an open or compressed attack
