MS-1 MEHRSCHALL

There are a few iconic valve guitar amps that we at Mozztronics adore. Apart from the AC amp used by the Beatles & Brian May, the American ’59 bass amp loved by guitarists, the amp favoured by Pete Townshend, the other is the iconic 800 series british amp. We have used the 800 version and made our emulation into a solid state footswitchable pedal, which we have named the “Mehrschall” in honour of its parentage. Mehrschall is german for “more sound” which we think is very appropriate. This pedal is not a dirt pedal as such, it’s our emulation of this classic amp.

To do full justice to the original amp, and to get the maximum in tone versatility we included the full 3 knob tone stack in this pedal. A single tone control, or just a bass & treble control wasn’t going to cut it with this pedal. We did tweak the tone stack slightly, as the bass control in these amps is notorious for having little effect, as its frequency is set very low.

GAIN controls the amount of gain from the first stage

BASS, MID and TREBLE are the classic 3 knob tone stack as found in the original amp

VOLUME adjusts the overall volume out of the pedal.

As with the amplifier this pedal replicates, classic 60’s and 70’s rock sounds live here, turn up the gain for added rawkus-ness.

Mozztronics uses the industry standard Boss style 2.1mm centre negative 9V DC socket for this pedal.

Mozztronics want to make their contribution to a greener world by keeping 9V batteries out of landfill. For this reason Mozztronics pedals do NOT have space inside for a 9V battery. If you do not already have a suitable power supply such as a Boss wall-wart, One Spot, PP2 etc we can supply a Mozztronics PS-2 power supply with your order for an additional $26. Please include a note with your order if you wish to add a power supply.
