These pedals commemorated a range of eras within specific amplifier personalities, of which there were 8 in total. By simply twisting a few knobs, you could build the most sought-after tones and hot rod your own. From rare vintage classics to roaring modern icons, every variation was delivered in their own distinctive voicings.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTech 21 wanted to broaden the range of tonal options and took that concept a step further to include additional building blocks. Because there’s a certain chemistry between specific pairings that will forever be a part of history.  Think Ralph \u0026amp; Alice. Fred \u0026amp; Wilma. Lucy \u0026amp; Ricky.  Abbott \u0026amp; Costello.  Bonnie \u0026amp; Clyde.  They all made a lot of noise and they all had a lot of fun!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith an abundance of knob controls, the 2-channel Character Plus Series pedals are easy to use. You can explore and tailor various eras within each amp style simply by turning a knob.  Each continuously-variable Character control sweeps through an entire tonal range, spanning decades of sounds. The Character, EQ controls and speaker simulation are individually voiced to reflect the specific personality traits inherent in each amp style. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFeaturing built-in speaker\/cab sim, the 100% analog SansAmp Tube Amplifier Emulation technology encompasses the entire signal chain, from pre-amp to power amp to speaker simulation. An integral part of the circuitry, the SansAmp speaker simulation will complement any type of guitar or bass speaker cabinet system. You can also place an external IR after a SansAmp to give additional flavor if you so desire. The SansAmp speaker sim is designed and individually tailored for a smooth, even response as would be achieved by a multiply-mic'd cabinet –without peaks, valleys, and notches associated with single miking and many IRs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAdditionally, each of these multi-function pedals is like having a stompbox within a stompbox. (BOGO anyone?) You can use the amp emulation on its own or just the effect on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Character Plus Series pedals offer significant flexibility and value at a nominal price. Whether you’re frugal or extravagant, you can focus on the one that is your personal favorite or collect them all –and trade them with your friends!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eMop Top Liverpool  =  Vox-style + Rangemaster Booster-style\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eRange of Settings with CHAR A:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBelow 12 o’clock serves up the tone of a Top Boost with controls set to 9:00, for a throatier clean sound and warm overdriven tones. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdvancing towards 12 o’clock brings in classic British mids.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePassing 12 o’clock increases clarity to crunchy and overdriven tones.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFull up adds the upper mid crackle of pushed Alnico speakers.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eRange of Settings with CHAR B:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eBelow 12 o’clock serves up the tone of a Top Boost with controls set to 3:00, for full clean sound with lots of bass and highs.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Advancing towards 12 o’clock brings in classic British mids.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePassing 12 o’clock brings in the vocal quality of “Woman Tone.”\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFull up boosts the low mids for non-Top Boost AC30-style tone.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch4\u003eIndependent Boost Section:\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Mop Top Liverpool uniquely offers 2 boosts in one knob:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAt 12 o’clock, it’s flat.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUp to 12dB Treble Boost when you turn clockwise for a brighter, louder, edgier ‘60s and ‘70s vintage vibe.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUp to 12dB Mid-Range Boost when you turn counter-clockwise, which tightens up distortion, rhythm and lead tones for more modern vibes.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePedal Type: Boost, Preamp, Amp Emulation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnalog\/Digital: Analog\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInputs: 1 x 1\/4-inch\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOutputs: 1 x 1\/4-inch, 1 x XLR\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBypass Switching: Buffered\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEQ: 3-band EQ, Tone Control, Mid Shift and High Shift buttons\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eControls: Character A\/B, Drive A\/B, Boost\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePower Source: 9V DC power supply (included)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePower Usage: 55mA\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHeight: 1.25-inch\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWidth: 7.75-inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDepth: 2.5-inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.75 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e    Manufacturer: tech21\u003cbr\u003eModel: CPS-MTL\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I709682-N-0-WHXC\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 837088002561\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Musictoner Musictoner\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Musictoner has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
