From 2012 to 2016, five Dumble Overdrive Special (ODS) amplifiers were secured to most accurately voice the Ultraphonix pedal, comparing to real-deal Dumble amplifiers many of these amps were owned and/or used by world famous Dumble users. Knowing that these Dumble amps were customized to the player, the goal was to find the X factor among a variety of Dumble ODS amps and distill the D-style essence into the most authentic sounding and feeling amp-in-a-box pedal.Versatile Controls to Shape Your Tone To help you create your ultimate tone, the Ultraphonix has extra gain-shaping controls beyond the original MKI version with Master Volume, Input Gain Level, and Distortion/Saturation Ratio. Players can fine tune their pickup outputs with the input gain Level control to get the same reaction from the overdrive irrespective of using Single Coil or Humbucking pickups with up to 8 dB of level compensation available. Plus, get additional presence and harmonic saturation using the Filter knob for sculpting the upper-mids from 800Hz to 1.6kHz. Once you get the perfect mix of overdrive and EQ, use the Master volume control to set your final output level. No matter where you set it, this pedal will sound wide-open and amp-like at all volume levels.33% Smaller than the Original Ultraphonix MKII is not only captures the same great tone of the original Ultraphonix, but is also 1/3 smaller than the original, with even more features than before, and with more control over your overdrive tone, EQ, and saturation.
