The MDS-70W is a model that reconstructs the classic distortion circuit that appeared in the 1970s, allowing for modern sound creation flexibility. A wide range of distortion expressions are possible through multiple switching functions. ■ Features ・Two types of distortion characters by silicon/germanium switching ・Equipped with a MODE switch that can adjust the amount of low frequencies in 3 stages ・Internal trim can compensate for volume differences when switching TYPE ・Intuitive operation with basic tone/gain/level controls ・True bypass specification ■ Sound Character While the basic character of the distortion follows classic distortion, you can freely adjust the "distortion texture," "low-end feel," and "attack feel" by switching between TYPE and MODE. ・Deep distortion leaning towards high gain ・Light drive that retains nuance ・Cutting-oriented, piercing distortion ・Thick rhythm sound with a lowered center of gravity Covers a wide range of distortion tastes. ■ Controls LEVEL … Volume adjustment DRIVE … Distortion amount adjustment TONE … High-frequency to low-frequency balance adjustment TYPE … Clipping switching (A: Silicon / B: Germanium) MODE … Low-frequency amount 3-stage switching (NORMAL / LIGHT / HEAVY) ■ TYPE Switch (Distortion Character Switching) A: Silicon diode - 2 Deep distortion and long sustain. More like classic distortion. B: Germanium diode - 1 The amount of distortion is moderate, and the attack is more likely to remain, resulting in a natural texture. ■ MODE Switch (Low-Frequency Character Switching) NORMAL … Standard balance LIGHT … Significantly cuts low frequencies, sharp sound HEAVY … Emphasizes low frequencies, thick sound ■ About the Case and Design The aluminum case has been polished and then laser-engraved with a design. We have consciously created a pedal that is visually enjoyable, and have laid out a wolf and snowflake motif. (The fuzz model uses flames and a dragon, creating a contrasting image.) ■ Accessories ・Rubber feet ・One-year warranty ■ Note While the polishing finish enhances the appearance, processing marks and minor scratches from the original material may remain on the aluminum case.
