The Gainster has arrived. The Gainster gives the player a powerful, even handed overdrive tone, with excellent dynamic range and touch sensitivity, without tonal loss or compression.
This newest model offers significant new benefits to the player, such as a lower price point than ever before offered, a new, smaller size that allows it to easily fit on the player's pedalboard, and a newly developed internal bass control. This bass control allows the player to precisely dial in the proper bass content for their particular playing situation, be it home, stage, or studio.
The Gainster uses the finest components to deliver its great sound, and it's vintage flavored color scheme is sure to please.
A few comments from Michael Clark:
Hello, Michael Clark here. To be honest this is my first post on any board ever. However, I just had to say something after listening to the fantastic sound samples by David Barber. He has done a great job at showing off what the Gainster can do. Everything from clean boost, just getting crunchy, to full out drive. He has also done a great job at showing off the touch sensitivity of this pedal.
I received my Gainster today and could not be happier with the build quality, the attention to detail to the original circuit, and the tone. What I also want to say is that this has been a very great experience for me working with both David and Bob. Just a hint, look for more great things from us!! Best Regards, Michael Clark, Clark Amplification.
