MayFly Audio releases the Creamsicle (low gain English overdrive) and the Terrain (high fidelity optical tremolo) for guitarists and keyboardists.
Ottawa, Ontario – Nov 1, 2024. It’s been a great harvest this year up in the Great White North. For proof look no further than these two new pedals from Mayfly Audio: the Creamsicle Overdrive and the Terrain Tremolo.
The Creamsicle has that low gain English rock tone you’ve been looking for. It’ll remind you of that JCM45 that you deeply regret selling during the hair metal years, but it’s a lot lighter and can get that tone at a much lower volume. Gain and Volume controls, along with tone control, sparkle switch, and a three position pre-amp gain switch. Go from ‘creamy’ to ‘crunchy’ with a twist of the dial and the flick of a switch. Try it with your favorite fuzz for even more – just like you did with that half-stack back in 1966.
The Terrain is a tremolo with a difference: It’s circuitry is designed to be as open and HiFi as possible. It features optical coupling to keep Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) noise out of the audio path. In addition to Speed and Depth controls it also features a waveform shape control to fine tune that throb. It includes a gain control to make up for any perceived volume loss at high Depth settings. But most importantly, it features high input impedance, low distortion, full bandwidth, low noise, high fidelity circuitry that stays crystal clear. You’re going to love it.
