Description
Do you know why the Lovepedal COT is still in demand after decades in production in various forms? It's because it's frickin' awesome...capturing the saggy, saturated, presence and dynamic response of a late ‘60s plexi loaded with 6550 power tubes in all it's glory and versatility. And this is THAT squeezed into a tiny form factor.
The single knob gives you:
Early in the single knobbie you get a delightfully transparent boost that shows off the pedals ability to be controlled entirely with picking dynamics and guitar volume...
Start turning up the single knob and up you get an organic hint of grit and rattle to complex chords, a woofy subharmonic to two-note intervals, and a toothy bite to single-note lines...
At noon the overdrive becomes more belligerent, yet your guitars' personality remains the star...
Full tilt: butterscotch sustain with a full throated howl of tubes overheating, BUT a clean, clear tone with a roll off of your that absolutely respected complex chords and pick transients and always sounded like the guitar and amp in use.
Summing it up:
Like a 50 watt Marshall in its more torrid range, a sinewy knot of high-midrange complexity, melded to a lively Vox shimmer atop your guitar and amp’s identity at lower inputs...all at an appropriate degree throughout the pedal’s range, and without the annoyingly excessive boost in volume that many overdrive pedals generate. And, yes, it’s dead quiet.
The AMP 50 is the most compact version of the COT series. The circuit has been modified to give cleaner tones at the bottom of the gain / bias sweep and dirtier tones at the top. It can function as a clean boost, dirty boost, stand alone OD or gnarly fuzz box depending on the amplifier used, guitar vol. adjustment and gain / bias control setting. This version will also stack unbelievably well with other drive units leading to increased sustain, tone and overall dynamics.
It is one magical little box.
