Crowther Audio Hotcake "Bluesberry". Good condition
The
Hotcake was first produced in 1976, while Paul Crowther was in the UK
with the band, Split Enz. The Hotcake is designed to leave the
undistorted component of the guitar sound unchanged, while providing a
nice fat distortion sound without resorting to a treble cut circuit
which will also affect the guitar tonality. With the Drive and Presence
controls set to minimum, and the Level at around 2 o'clock, you should
be hard pressed to hear any change in the sound at all when you switch
the Hotcake in and out. You can get a clean volume boost by increasing
the Level control. Increasing the Drive will give you a thick
distortion sound with a little bit of edge to it, and the Presence
control adds some mid-range punch to the sounds. The Hotcake also
handles chords well. It is recommended that the Hotcake is patched
between the guitar and amplifier, rather than into an amplifier's
effect loop. Generally speaking, if you are happy with your guitar and
amplifier combination, the Hotcake will work well as a primary
distortion.
Does that mean it's got the bass/guitar and bluesberry switch that comes with the newer models? Ta
