Features and Functionality:
- The Fire Bottle features an all-tube signal path, modified ‘Harvard’ style tone control, and selectable input impedance designed to enhance the tone of magnetic guitar pickups.
- It can improve clarity for a bigger, bolder tone or fatten up the sound of a single coil pickup to give it the characteristic warmth of a humbucker pickup.
- The pedal can operate as an audiophile unity gain buffer, clean boost, or push a tube amp into overdrive with gain ranging from 0dB to 30dB.
- The tone control is based on the classic 1940s Fender® ’Harvard’ tube amp tone circuit, allowing users to tailor the character and body of the signal.
- The variable resonance switch alters the input characteristics of the tube gain stage, specially designed to work with single coil pickups to provide different tonal characteristics.
- The pedal features true bypass with ‘anti-pop’ or ‘thump’ foot-switching circuitry to ensure no loss of tone when disengaged.

The Fire Bottle is designed for flexibility, simplicity, and outstanding sound quality, utilizing audiophile grade components and silver solder throughout the circuit for low-noise and stability.

The pedal is an extremely compact, tough boost pedal with a warm and musical personality, essentially a vintage tube amplifier input stage in a pedal. It can be used as a clean boost on lower gain settings or push a tube amp into overdrive, adding grit and growl to thicken and warm up the tone without losing definition and clarity.

The Fire Bottle is specially designed to work with magnetic guitar pickups and is based on a new NOS (new old stock) subminiature 6112 vacuum tube, operating at true tube amplifier plate voltages for stacks of headroom and a low noise floor, ensuring fantastic dynamic range.

The pedal is true bypass for uncolored feed-through and includes a 12V positive center power supply.
