Just wondering if anyone's tried one of these? Looks like a handy little device to use with guitars that have no tone control, or maybe with amps that have no Middle tone control. It appears you replace the plug on one of your cables with this plug, plug it into your guitar, and you get "Normal" plus three different different tones or timbres via a slight mid-shift.

| I watched a couple videos that demo it and wasn't too impressed. They described as a 3 step attenuation device. I couldn't detect much difference in tone. |

Almost certainly adds capacitance, simulating a longer and longer cable. The result is rolling off more and more treble, similar to a tone knob on a standard guitar.

I never play without it! I run it from my pot pedal into my digital delay. It warms the sound, fattens the tone as you give it more volume (like an old-time rig).
You can use it between guitar and volume pedal for a different reaction, more like a tone pot. |

For max intended effect the plug has to have a path to the steel's pickup: no buffer or electronic pedal in between. A pot pedal allows that and gives you a tonal variation (very subtle, no wah-wah sound--you're shifting the the pickup's resonant frequency slightly).
Have had comments on my "vintage amp" even though I use a Chinese Nashville 112  |
