The Barber Compact Burn Unit is a wide-range overdrive pedal designed to provide a variety of distortion textures. It features a simple control-set with two three-way toggles, one for midrange and another for dynamics. The dynamics control sets the point where the distortion starts to compress and break up, allowing for a range of sounds from barely there edge of breakup to vintage tweed, 60s-70s rock, and a serious mega dollar fusion amp sound. The midrange control offers levels between neutral to mid-forward.
The pedal is hand-made in the USA with bold and beautiful thru-hole components, a mix of NOS and current parts. It is priced at $199.95 and is subject to stock changes. The Compact Burn Unit also includes an internal bass trim pot, which is set to work with neutral amps at the shop, but can be adjusted to match the user's own amp if desired.
The Burn Unit has been a 27-year project to design and manufacture an analog circuit that can closely replicate the sounds of amplifiers producing different levels and textures of distortion, while keeping a simple, easy to understand control-set. The pedal is designed to emulate distortion from Fender Tweeds amps, blackface, vintage Marshalls, and the somewhat unknown Dumble ODS sound.
Specifications, knobs, and color are subject to change, and the pedal is available for purchase directly from Barber Electronics.
