Jangly Blues - Chime Drive

CRUNCH THAT RINGS LIKE A BELL
Grit and sparkle, together.

Chords break up with body while every string still rings on its own. Long notes hold and slowly bloom, and arpeggios shine above the crunch instead of sinking into it. With lively, expressive dynamics: every nuance of your pick comes through, from the softest touch to the hardest strike.

ITS SCENE
From 60s jangle to blues with sparkle.

The Byrds' twelve-string with a touch of dirt. Big Star's power pop. 80s British indie arpeggios with more bite. The Lemon Twigs' live sound. And a blues crunch that stays defined.

HOW IT WORKS
Two stages, a loop and the order you choose.

The signal runs from the Blues into the Jangly. The Blues Level sets how much signal reaches the Jangly, and so how hard it compresses. Bass shapes the low end before it hits the compressor: tighter to avoid pumping at high gain, fuller for clean tones with body. Send and return open a loop between the two stages for a single pedal or a whole chain, which the Jangly gathers at the end. And with those same jacks you can flip the order: the Jangly first and the Blues after it, breaking up over an already compressed signal. Between the two orders and whatever you put in the loop, the combinations are practically endless. Each stage has its own footswitch, with true bypass.
