Lovepedal
COT50
The Lovepedal COT50 Church of Tone is an ultra simple pedal, more like a tool in the guitarist's tool box. Sean at Lovepedal used to go to blues jams in Detroit. They always had some junky amp for jammers to play through. So he came up with this box that would simulate tube amp break up to provide enough of a boost to get above the band for solos and clean up very well with the volume knob on the guitar. It has a very vintage Plexi sound it was designed to sound like a late 60s Plexi loaded with 6550s. Through any amplifier, even a Solid State amp. It cleans up very well when you roll back the volume knob on your guitar. This works like a pre gain adjustment. The uniqueness of this unit is in the dynamics. A world of different subtle break up is available at the guitar volume knob. It cleans up so fast at the guitar most people leave it on all the time and work the guitar volume for everything they need. The knob is there for a bias adjustment -- Hot biased or trimmed to original signal strength. If you're the type of player who digs rolling off at the guitar, this is the pedal you want. Very crystal clear and raw, uncompressed tone. This is the Billy Gibbons tone or early Hendrix sound, depending on how you set the unit and the controls at your guitar. The COT50 has one knob that adjusts the bias of the transistor. This knob will make some noise when you adjust. The old Dallas Rangemasters did the same thing. Set the bias knob for the sweet spot, adjust the volume knob on your guitar to clean or dirty your signal. The COT50 will push your amp! The pedal is "on" as long as you have a cable plugged into the input jack, so make sure to unplug the cable when it is not in use to conserve battery life. Carbon Batteries sound best to Sean, but you can try alkaline to see which you like best. Some of the best tones in this box come by simply adjusting your volume and tone at the guitar. There are a lot of different shades of gain in this box and it sounds great with any guitar / amp combination. This edition has been designed to be quieter than earlier editions of the COT50. True Bypass. This edition features soft touch true bypass rather than mechanical true bypass, which should translate into longer switch life. Specifications subject to change without notice!
