Rather than emulating a specific model, it encompasses our favourite parts of a whole generation of amplifiers including warm piano-like cleans, bright clear overdrive, and sizzling lead tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1674452861949_451\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Citadel began as a series of experiments on our Model feT pedal. Like any tube amp, there are ample opportunities for modifications. After all, the original Model T was itself a modified take on the Super Bass sound, delivering a distinct variety of the plexi flavor with fuzzy breakup and a huge low frequency punch. So, what if we flavoured it our own way? Once Brad completed his \"Marsha\" prototype, it was on. In a way, you can almost think of the Citadel as a\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ere-plexi-fied\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eModel T sound, trading low end sludge for a sparkly midrange focus. In another way, you can think of it as what we’d do if the original Model T wasn’t too sacrosanct to modify.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFinally, like our Model feT, the Citadel emulates both the preamp and power amp sections of a tube amp to provide a full-bodied overdrive that feels powerful and responds wonderfully to boosts, drives, and fuzzes in front. It can be used either a conventional drive pedal or as the workhorse of an ampless signal chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1674452861949_469\"\u003eControls\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-rte-list=\"default\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBright Gain:\u003c\/strong\u003e turn clockwise to add gain from the parallel Bright channel, which is voiced for chime and sparkle.
