Description
Pre-owned Spruce Effects Acadia Junior Ranger Series, in mint condition, pedal only.
As the eastern-most National Park in the United States, The Acadia is the first pedal being released in new Junior Ranger Series. It's big brother from the Americana Series is a Germanium-powered, NOS part filled fuzzy beast. This iteration of it is silicon and in a smaller package. This is a swiss army knife drive pedal, going from articulate overdrive to full on wall of fuzz. It plays very well with bass, too!
Controls
First row of knobs: Volume, Gain, Fuzz
- Volume controls the master volume of the entire circuit. It gets very loud.
- Gain controls the gain level of the first gain-stage in the circuit. This part of the circuit was reworked to provide a blistering 30+db of clean, flat gain to allow you to sculpt the behavior of the fuzz
- Fuzz controls the overall fuzziness
Second row of knobs: Bias, Depth
- Bias controls the character of the fuzz. CW is spitty/gated, CCW is louder and more open/articulate
- Depth controls the frequency being fed into the first gain-stage. CW is beefy, CCW is thin and treble-y
Power
It is critical that you use a high quality, isolated and filtered power supplies with The Americana Series. Every modern measure was taken to ensure quiet, recording-worthy noise suppression, but low-quality power and power supplies can inject unwanted noise in these effects. Even though we've designed them to play nicely on a daisy chain, we don't recommend it.
