Limetone Audio / FOCUS-NX Yellow Limetone Audio [80]

Compression, clean boost/gain boost, and midrange sound adjustment. All of these can be intuitively controlled with this completely new concept pedal.

There are five knobs: compression, level, gain, color1, and color2. The compression function follows in the footsteps of Limetone Audio's compressor pedal "focus" and delivers studio-quality compression with simple operation. The level and gain knobs are also easily adjustable.

The level and gain knobs are located at the rear of the compression knob, and the level knob provides a clean boost and the gain knob provides a gain boost. The gain boost, in particular, has a tone curve setting that is ideal for pushing the distortion of subsequent pedals/amps to create powerful drive sounds.

Both color1 and color2 are knobs that operate the midrange, with the 12 o'clock position being flat. By boosting or cutting a limited range that cannot be manipulated by amps or normal effectors, it is possible to create and drive sounds that could not be set before.

Also, one of the features of the FOCUS-NX is that when either color1 or color2 is turned to 15 o'clock or higher, a characteristic midrange sound can be produced. color1 has a slightly higher frequency and color2 has a slightly lower frequency, so turning color1 up to near the maximum value produces a modern sound, while turning color2 up produces a more old-fashioned sound. When color1 is turned up to its maximum value, you get a modern sound, and when color2 is turned up, you get a traditional semi-stopped wah-like sound. (We assume that only one of the two can be turned up, but it is possible to turn up both to create a more aggressive sound.)

Each function (compressor, booster, and midtone shifter) can be used or not used by setting the knobs, and each function can be used individually or together.
