Description
The GAINLORD is a dual-channel preamp/overdrive inspired by classic British amps of the late ’60s through the ’80s, the amps that defined hard rock.
Built on real high-voltage tube circuitry, it delivers the same punch, harmonic richness, and touch-sensitive response as the originals — in a compact pedal format.
The two channels cover a wide range of voices. The low-gain channel is open and gritty, sitting at the edge of breakup around 9 o'clock. Push it harder, and a grainy crunch unfolds, with a sagging low end that adds warmth and body. The high-gain channel is tighter and more aggressive, with defined notes and extra top-end bite, yet it still cleans up naturally when you roll back the guitar's volume.
Both channels include a Bright switch that adds presence; on the high-gain channel, it can act as a subtle gain boost. A 3.5mm TRS jack allows remote control of channel switching and the high-gain Bright.
The output level reaches approx. 80% of the standard line level. The Tone Cut switch offers two modes: a full-output preamp for power amps or cab sims, or an overdrive-pedal mode with a lower level and scooped high-mids for front-of-amp use.
Power is supplied via the included AC/DC adapter or any 12V DC, 500mA pedalboard power supply. If a single output provides less than 500 mA, two 12V outputs can be combined using a current-doubling cable. Do not exceed 12VDC.
The GAINLORD can be used in front of an amp, into a power amp, or with a cab simulator, bringing the golden era of hard rock tones to any setup.
