USED OVALTONE / FOUNTAIN HS-model Overdrive [10]

Hidehisa Sasaki Signature Model!!

Based on the FOUNTAIN 2025 ver., this model adds an additional stage of hard clipping to the traditional smooth overdrive, incorporating distortion-like bite and grit. While maintaining a smooth texture, it delivers a more aggressive, forward-pushing drive feel, offering ample density and presence even when used on its own.Compared to the standard model, the smoothness and dynamic range are slightly tighter, but this results in superior sustain and control during lead playing, allowing you to build a highly polished drive sound without relying on amp compression.

Controls center around a simple three-knob layout (GAIN, VOLUME, TONE), supplemented by sub-controls—PRE GAIN, CLIP, and FAT—that allow for flexible adjustment of the pre-gain stage. PRE GAIN controls the gain level in the stage preceding the main drive, while toggling CLIP on/off switches between adding distortion in the pre-stage and adjusting the amount of push to the subsequent stage.With CLIP on, distortion in the preamp stage is emphasized, resulting in a denser, more distortion-like sound; with CLIP off, you get a natural distortion that drives the main circuit while preserving the nuances of the original tone. Furthermore, the FAT switch changes the frequency balance of the preamp stage: when on, it produces a thick, smooth lead tone with rich low-mids; when off, it offers a clear drive character that is faithful to the input signal and responds quickly.

It is in like-new condition and functions perfectly.
