Gibson Brands is excited to re-introduce to the world Maestro Pedals.
Shaping innovation and quality in tone since 1962, Maestro is the Founder of Effects beginning with the very first commercially available distortion pedal and originator of rock and roll with the iconic FZ-1 Fuzz-Tone. With a strong legacy and reputation for cutting edge and unique pedals, Maestro is back to offer new designs based on classic effects with added functionality and an eye-catching vibe. Now it’s time to Shape your Sound with Maestro.
The Discoverer is a modern analog delay pedal that proudly utilizes legendary analog bucket brigade device (BBD) technology to deliver classic, warm, and inviting delay sounds. The intuitive 3-knob control layout lets users quickly dial up the length of the Delay time (with a range from 20 ms to 600 ms), the amount of Sustain (delay repeats), and adjust the level of the delays in the Mix. A toggle switch engages built-in modulation that applies anything from a slightly saturated, tape-like wow and flutter effect to a heavily pitch-shifted modulation effect to the delayed signal. Two internal trim pots allow adjustments to the Rate (speed) and Width (sweep range) of the modulation. The true bypass footswitch triggers the LED lights in the bugles in the Maestro logo when it's on, so you'll always know when the effect is active.
Specifications
• Controls: Delay, Mix, Sustain; internal Modulation Rate and Width trim pots
• Internal Trim Pots: Two internal trim pots allow the user to adjust the Rate (speed) and Width (sweep range) of the modulation that operates when the Mode switch is in the up (MOD-ON) position. Using a small screwdriver, turn clockwise to increase, counterclockwise to decrease the modulation Rate and Width.
