FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
1 February 2012
Gaithersburg, MD - The DC Voltage Company introduces the P3 Signature Series David Barber Overdrive Pedal. This pedal combines the legendary tone of the Barber Overdrive circuit with P3 Technology that is built into a professional-grade pedal.
With softer midrange and wider frequency response than typical overdrive pedals, David Barber's overdrive circuitry includes 4558 op-amps. A toggle switch on the top surface of the pedal allows easy control of the unique Boosted Bypass feature: toggle it on and the bypassed signal is also boosted cleanly by an amount set with the Drive knob; toggle it off and the bypass signal passes through untouched. This unique feature offers a fantastic way to prevent "tone suck" when driving long cables or low impedance pedals. This is the world's first pedal to include this selectable and adjustable Boosted Bypass feature, also known as David Barber's (killer-sounding) "B-Buff".
Remotely supplying abundant, regulated power via standard cables, P3 Technology completely eliminates the need for 9-volt batteries, cuts power cabling, cumbersome wall-warts, and the need for AC mains at the pedalboard; stabilizes tone while greatly suppressing if not entirely eliminating ground-loop hum; stops voltage droop and resulting signal loss or degradation; and makes the dreaded "dead on arrival" of drained batteries a pain of the past.
The P3 Signature Series David Barber Overdrive Pedal, priced at US $149 and available directly from http://dcvoltage.net/p3/overdrive, includes comprehensive instructions, full support ...and a 9-volt battery! P3 Technology allows the battery to remain installed yet electrically disconnected, ensuring it does not accidentally discharge and is available in an emergency or when P3 Power is not available.
When set to use P3 Power, P3 Pedals actually reverse the purpose of their DC barrel connectors, making them into 9-volt power sources, perfect for daisy-chaining, or "Power-Chaining", to stock pedals. This uncommonly useful benefit reiterates the highly-adaptable versatility of P3 Technology.
As with all P3 Technology -- called "a pedal junky's best friend," and "a godsend for professional musicians" -- power flows one way and signal the other over a single cable, while power problems and concerns essentially vanish. Jason Robling, President of DC Voltage Company, summarizes the P3 Signature Series David Barber Overdrive Pedal as "legendary overdrive plus boostable bypass meets the definitive end to pedal power problems."
