The Rosie by SolidGoldFX is a modern reincarnation of the venerable MK II Tone Bender circuit, optimized for contemporary performance while retaining the favorite tonal characteristics of the original design. Unlike the classic Tone Bender MK II circuit, which used temperamental germanium transistors, Rosie utilizes a combination of JFET and select low gain, low noise silicon transistors, providing reliable consistency in punch and attack. The pedal features a two-way tone toggle and external bias control, allowing users to dial in a broad range of textures, from thick and syrupy to chunky and aggressive. It is designed to make single coils sing and humbuckers bite, bringing out the best from both types of pickups.
Rosie's custom high impedance JFET input ensures worry-free performance by eliminating the possibility of any unwanted interaction with buffers or wahs, allowing it to be placed anywhere in the signal chain without adverse tonal impact. The pedal also features a bias control that lets users adjust the amount of voltage to the final transistor, providing a range of splatty singing lead tones, full-bodied fuzz, and everything in between. Additionally, it offers a two-way tone toggle switch for standard and bass reduction modes, as well as a true bypass footswitch.
