JACQUES FAT BURNER.
The Fat Burner is a combo compressor
sustainer, headphone amp, amp booster, and amp splitter pedal all in
one!
You can use it a compressor, a sustainer for clean tones or in
conjunction with your fave distortion box, as a headphone practice amp
with or without compression, and last but not least for it is the
innovation of the FAT BURNER, as an amp volume optimizer or splitter.
Should I use a compressor? How many times this question comes
around, after reading that Mr.Famous uses one. For those afraid of
pumping drawbacks, the FAT BURNER has been developed from its famous
ancestors, and therefore offers the best natural feeling ever with this
kind effect. But natural does not mean wimpy in my book. The FAT BURNER
is capable of very high compression ratio to obtain heavenly sustained
tones.
The professional use of the FAT BURNER will soon becomes
essential for you. Dare take it off your pedalboard. So I found a
reason for it. The FAT BURNER can be used as a headphone practice amp.
Simply plug your fave headphone into the PHONE outlet, and enjoy its
rich natural tone with or without compression. In case of headphone
use, the FAT BURNER is switched on by plugging your guitar in. Use the
footswitch to turn in/off the compression/sustain and the PHONE volume
to adjust to your ears. While always present on rack units, headphone
outputs on analog pedals are quite rare. That is why I thought it was a
good idea. But I had something else in mind...
OK, Don't plug your amp to the PHONE out. Don't do that!
Now that you did, I knew you would, you are inflicting your favorite
amp a 10 times boost right in its front.
But thanks to the compressor part of the FAT BURNER, the point of
overdrive is pushed forward.
In other words, your amp has NEVER been so LOUD.
Take a '52 TV front Fender Deluxe like mine and a '65 black face Fender
deluxe. Basically you've got the same power amp section, if you except
the negative feedback loop. All the rest is preamp differences.
As the '65 has TONS more of headroom, clean volume before entering
overdrive. I have always considered possible to give an amp more
headroom from the OUTSIDE, and only a combination of powerful boost AND
compression could give this result.
We worked hard on this, and now there is evidence. With the FAT BURNER,
you amp sounds like 50% more watts. While your amp can take this
safely, watch your speakers!
And of course , when overdrive becomes unavoidable, the FAT BURNER
booster does it in style, a la JACQUES, thanks to its special harmonic
clippers.
If you own more than one amp, there is another reason why you
should purchase the BURNER: thanks to its separated AMP/PHONE circuits
and outputs , the BURNER makes the PERFECT signal splitter with OR
without compression.
- No leakage between the 2 signals means no ground hum
- Amps balance always at your finger, thanks the PHONE volume control
- No signal loss, even for the AMP output thanks to its 100% transparent beefy buffer
So why pay top dollars for sophisticated signal splitters when you can
have the same quality PLUS unlimited gain AND marvelous compression?
The Jacques Fat Burner is waiting for you.
