This includes the famous Cornish Buffer at the input as per the
original, but omits the bypass buffer for the usual true bypass
switching.
The PETE CORNISH G-2™ has been hailed
as the most original sounding distortion unit available to guitarists in
the Rock Arena. It features a four stage overdriven discrete transistor
Class A circuit with additional Germanium components that generate much
warmer sounding harmonics than anything else on the market. Within the
huge tone generated by this unit, the original guitar sound and dynamics
are present creating a much more musical effect than any other
distortion pedal.
The G-2™ gives a higher level of overdrive for
that classic cranked up Marshall sound found on most British rock
records of the 70s (Led Zeppelin, Free, Bad Company etc.). The G-2™ with
its warm Germanium qualities and higher gain starts at around the
rhythmic crunch stage of the SS-3™ and continues through in controllable
degrees to a rounded but dynamic lead.
You don’t have to use the LM741 ICs. The TL071 is the single channel version
of the TL072 and will work perfectly well in this.
