<\/p>\nAfter 2 years of extensive research and development, Musician Sound Design has developed a unique analog circuit which imitates the characteristics of tube circuitry with exceptional accuracy. This circuitry has been incorporated into two new overdrive units for guitarists \u00ad we are proud to present to you the Bonnie Blue & Union Jack.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
BONNIE BLUE<\/strong><\/p>\n The Bonnie Blue overdrive is a brand new development that perfectly complements the rest of the MSD product line. Thanks to its innovative voltage-doubling technology, the Bonnie Blue recreates the typical American overdrive sounds of the seventies with remarkable accuracy. The legendary „Hollow-Honk-Sound“ of the Allman Brothers, the creamy Les Paul – Soli of the Eagles, Santana\u00b9s glowing Woodstock-Tone or singing, dynamic runs from Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks \u00ad all this and more can be achieved with the Bonnie Blue. At full overdrive settings, the tone of the Bonnie Blue can even achieve the legendary Tone Bender sounds of Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page! Thanks to its enormous headroom, The Union Jack provides stable, consistent overdrive in front of any amplifier and never sounds muddy or undefined. The gain switch also allows use as a clean-booster with low distortion. Only the highest quality components are used in the construction of the Bonnie Blue, including the meticulous hand-selection of the transistors that guarantees perfect, consistent operation from unit to unit. Bonnie Blue features include:<\/strong><\/p>\n Stainless Steel Chassis Optimized for Humbucking Guitars:<\/strong><\/p>\n Technologie<\/strong><\/p>\n Some unique technologies have gone into the development of these two new overdrive models from MSD. The first of these is plain old hard work \u00ad to achieve the amazing tube-like tones, MSD must test at least 2000 transistors to select and match enough to make 100 pedals. While this may seem like „overkill“ to many, MSD feels that the results are audible. In addition to this method of „un-natural selection“ regarding their components, both the Union Jack and Bonnie Blue circuits feature the ingenious „Blue Block“. The Blue Block was developed by MSD to counter the most common problems associated with transistor distortion units. The Blue Block is a specially designed metal casing that provides additional shielding to the transistors in order to reduce radio interference and noise. Inside the Blue Block, all the transistors and other components are encased in a special casting resin that further suppresses noise and micro phonics. More importantly, this resin prevents the temperature drift that can cause a transistor distortion to sound different from night to night. The result is quiet, smooth consistent tone EVERY night.<\/p>\n \n Notes: No.1Voltage-Doubler circuit (Bonnie Blue) Copyright \u00a9 2024 Musician Sound Design.

\nSound Sample: Bonnie Blue<\/a><\/p>\n
\nMetal Pots and Switches
\nTrue Bypass Switch
\n9 VDC Jack
\nEasy-access battery compartment
\nTechnical Specifications:
\nPower supply: 9 V DC
\nPower consumption: 7 mA.
\nWeight: 0.8 KG
\nDimensions: B 11.5 x H 13.7 x T 5.5 cm<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/musiciansounddesign.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/2Cabs-1-300x123.jpg\")

\nThe Union Jack features no internal Voltage Doubler circuit, and it can operate in a range of 6 V DC to 18 VDC. At 6 VDC the pedal offers a softer, warmer Distortion-Sound, while at the max. 18 V DC it produces a more clearly defined Distortion tone.
\nThe Bonnie Blue uses a Voltage Doubler circuit to ensure the pedal stays in the operating range of 5 V DC to 9 V DC, providing consistent tone. An operating voltage higher than 9 V DC is not permitted, as this would damage the unit and void the warranty.
