JAM Peals LucyDreamer
The Angry Charlie was meant to mimic the sounds that came screaming out of the legendary Marshall JCM800. This pedal is loud! Because it is a marshall copy, it might be better suited for use with your horn that a Fender copy due to its less prominent high end. Feedback will be less of an issue. If you need to find some really aggressive sounds, you need look no further.
External Control: None
Cost: $$
HornFX Review
Interface: 3.5/5
When using a wind instrument, three EQ controls on an overdrive pedal can be a godsend. This pedal is a great example of that. Managing tone and feedback is much easier with more control of the EQ.
Versatility: 3/5
Although this pedal’s strength lies in its more aggressive sounds, the cleaner less overdriven tones that it produces are pleasant and give the pedal a wider range of use than might be expected.
Tonal Reproduction: 4/5
The tone that this pedal produces is quite warm and full. The EQ controls allow you to really dial in the tonal specifics you are looking for.
Complexity: Simple
Live application: 3.5/5
This pedal’s enhanced tonal control married with the warmth and fullness of its drive make this an excellent option for those looking for a more aggressive drive pedal.
Product Information
The Lucydreamer is a Dry / Wet overdrive created with today’s guitar masters’ needs and wants in mind.
It packs the following functions / features:
Dry / Wet Mix control
High-gain-stage footswitch which doesn’t affect the dry signal’s level
Internal trimmer to set the high-gain stage’s output level
Its overdrive circuit can track every little nuance of your playing with a wide gain-stage spectrum, ranging from highly dynamic tube-amp- like break-up, all the way to full- bodied high-gain saturation, while effortlessly maintaining chord- voicing clarity!
It is voiced to allow more low-end to come through while introducing a slight and carefully calibrated mid hump tube amps love so much.
Owing its clipping merits to our “secret” chip, the Lucydreamer fluently tackles all the traditional tasks of an overdrive pedal and at the same time invites you to discover new ways of expression through its clean signal blending which will also work wonders when paired with an already overdriven valve amp! Set the mix knob just right to introduce the desired amount of overdrive into your clean signal.
Widen your palette of sounds, minimize pedalboard real estate and elevate your tone with the Lucydreamer!
*The Lucydreamer features soft-click (relay) switching.
