Barbers' innards

The good thing about many Barber pedals is that they feature more tone controls under the chassis. The above pic is how the COOL pedal looks like with 4 trimmers (arrowed) available for the user to further refine his tone.

The SUPER SPORT has more trimmers as seen here & note the chip used for the pedal.

COOL is in

This is another Barber pedal on the discount list at TYmusic (which is attractive to me). It's fundamentally a very mild drive unit, milder than the average overdrive pedals out there (eg: Modtone MINI Drive) but offers some of the smoothest drive voicings I've come across. The TONE & DYNAMICS controls has a push-pull function to activate the raunchy sides in terms of EQ & gain. Cool indeed.

Barber: Super Sport

Another great clearance from TYmusic; Barber's Super Sport. I am perpetually in search of great overdrives to push my amp's inherent drive voicing. The Super Sport here is a great pedal to do just that & it's also a wonderful stand-alone unit. Barber has these internal trim pots to further the user's experimentation. The Super Sport can be set to sound smooth as well as being a little raunchy so that's how dynamic it is but do not expect heavy metal, of course

I've asked the good people at TY when the sale will end- as long as the item is in stock.
