Angry Charlie has been a JHS flagship product for years now. In this VERSION 3, we've kept what's great, and made some tweaks to give you greater flexibility and ease of use. The V3 is the "power" that is recognized within the category of high gain pedals. It's a pedal that easily and reliably breathes the tone of the JCM800. Let's take a look at the features.
Angry Charlie is equipped with 5 controls: VOLUME, DRIVE, BASS, MIDS and TREBLE. The VOLUME control works like a regular master volume on your amp. Simply turn it clockwise to increase the volume, and counterclockwise to decrease the volume. The DRIVE control controls the amount of overall distortion/overdrive entering the signal path. Turn clockwise for more distortion, counterclockwise for less distortion. New in V3 is the addition of BASS, MIDS and TREBLE controls. To faithfully replicate a Marshall amp, we decided it was time to incorporate a complete Marshall style tone stack. All three of these controls cut and boost frequencies and are relatively flat at 12 o'clock. The 1/4" jack on the right side is the input, and the left side is the output jack.
If you're a fan of high-gain overdrive/distortion pedals with a British flair, and you like rich bass response, thick mids, and balanced high-end response, the Angry Charlie V3 is your life. It will change. Yes, a life spent on equipment.
The power supply can be used with a general 9V DC/100mA center minus adapter.
