Animal

The MLC Amps Animal is a hybrid overdrive and distortion pedal designed to deliver a range of tube-driven tones, from subtle overdrive to high-gain distortion reminiscent of a classic Marshall JCM800. This booster/overdrive effects pedal uses a combination of IC circuitry and a TAD Mullard-style 12AX7 vacuum tube preamp section. The core of the distortion comes from a Class A preamplifier using a BURR BROWN OPA2134 op-amp, which provides hard clipping before the signal is shaped and colored by the vacuum tube. The result is a smooth transition between light overdrive and heavy, saturated crunch. This MLC effects pedal incorporates a hybrid fuzz-preamp design and is suitable for a variety of overdrive and distortion needs. **Key Features:** - Overdrive and distortion pedal with hybrid IC and tube preamp circuit - Uses TAD Mullard-style 12AX7 vacuum tube for signal coloration - Class A preamplifier based on BURR BROWN OPA2134 for hard clipping - Capable of blending smooth overdrive with classic lead crunch tones - Optimized for dynamic response and tonal shaping - True bypass switching to preserve signal integrity when bypassed
