Maccheroni Bros – American-voiced dual overdrive

Maccheroni Bros is a dual overdrive consisting of two distinct circuits, designed to create a wide variety of modern versatile American sounds. The two channels are called Fred and Mike, both Italo-American bricklayers with very different personalities.

• Fred is lanky and placid, the ‘good’ brother. This channel is based on the proprietary PCN circuit finely calibrated to this role. It gives a creamy sound and dynamic overdrive with sweet midrange sustain that favors a Legato technique.
• Mike, stout and short-tempered, the ‘indomitable’ brother, produces the rock sound obtainable from a tube amp pulled at full throttle. This channel provides good sustain and presence with clear attack of every note played. Its circuit is based on a J-Fet stadium, combined with other circuits designed to obtain the best overall sonic performance.
