Motel is a versatile overdrive/distortion circuit based on a certain rodent that we all know and love. Motel was designed with a cleaner, more overdriven feel versus the original, but they decided to reel back in a little bit of traditional rodent sounds as well with the help of a toggle switch. This is the first distortion pedal that Pine-Box has released.
Here is where Pine Box strayed away from the original:
-There is an internal voltage doubling circuit, utilizing a premium chip. This takes Motel from 7v to a very high headroom 18v power input.
-With the flip of a switch, Motel goes from a very compressed, hard clipping distortion circuit, to a much more open, uncompressed overdriven sound reminiscent of tube breakup. These two very distinct sounds to choose from is what separates Motel from others.
-The gain range has been extended.
-They paid special attention to the low/high filtering and removed some of the mid focus. This really suits the lower gain and overdriven sound.
-They raised the input impedance to reduce tone sucking and keep the original sonic features of your guitar. With the input impedance more than doubled, this allows the chip to begin clipping and reduces the need for diode clipping. Giving this circuit and entirely new feel and sound.
-The buffered output control has been re-designed to act as sort of a post gain amplifier. This gives you a bit more gain and a lot more volume.
