MAE – Line Blur, preamp & overdrive

Line Blur takes the often overlooked parametric EQ and simplifies it down to a tool you’ll want to use all the time. With 34 volts of internal headroom and audiophile-grade Burr Brown opamps, Line Blur can take whatever you throw at it and give it a studio sheen. Bass at 100 Hz allows for a good fundamental on bass or guitar, variable mid-range from 600 to 1.3 kHz lets you carve out your spot in the mix, and Highs centered at 2kHz add a bit of shine or keep your pick attack from being too clacky. A nicely voiced preamp further drives those frequencies and compensates for level differences between instruments. Line Blur will be the swiss army knife for your pedalboard.

Controls:

• HI: Boost/Cut at 2kHz
  
• MID: Boost/Cut at 600-1.3kHz depending on the setting of the FREQ knob
• LOW: Boost/Cut at 100Hz
• MORE: Preamp Stage Gain. Allows for leveling in-between instruments or a bit of grit at high settings
• FREQ: Shifts Midrange center frequency
• LOUD: Master Volume. Can be very loud
