Model G

The Bearfoot FX Model G is an overdrive pedal that captures the unique voice and response of vintage Gibson amps from the 50s/60s. It features controls for Volume, Drive, "Nature" (Bass), and "C", which controls the upper mid and treble while adding a slight amount of compression. The "C" knob is a significant part of the pedal's character, controlling several aspects such as upper mids EQ, snarl, and slight speaker compression. The pedal is handmade and housed in a hand-painted enclosure, with a FET-based tone-shaping stage and a Screamer-like gain stage to simulate preamp distortion. It can be powered with a 9-volt battery or a conventional barrel-type adapter. The Model G is known for its vibey overdrive with a '60s attitude, extreme dynamic range, and many sonic variations. The pedal is designed to evoke the flavor of vintage Gibson combo amps, offering a loose, vibey sort of distortion suitable for bluesy roots-rock and scrappy indie sounds.
