It is expertly voiced to pull the perfect sparkle and snap out of single-coils or to balance out darker humbuckers. The EQ can be run standalone or stacked post-drive, and the back-lit control knobs illuminate when it's active.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFull MIDI Control:\u003c\/b\u003e Both overdrive channels and the EQ can be independently bypassed and controlled via standard MIDI (via the 1\/4\" TRS MIDI jack), making it incredibly easy to integrate into complex switching rigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Specs:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCircuit Types:\u003c\/b\u003e Germanium Klon-style (OD1) + Transparent Timmy-style (OD2)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eEQ Section:\u003c\/b\u003e 3-band active Baxandall EQ with center detents for easy flat-response zeroing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eJacks:\u003c\/b\u003e Top-mounted inputs and outputs to save precious pedalboard real estate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePower Requirements:\u003c\/b\u003e 9V DC Center Negative, 150mA minimum (power supply not included)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBypass:\u003c\/b\u003e High-quality buffered\/active bypass options\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"jackson audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47838463426786,"sku":null,"price":289.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/4094\/9941\/files\/1D797C61-82D2-4C45-A8A9-C2F7CE5790C0.jpg?v=1780070729","url":"https:\/\/bcrmusic.com\/products\/jackson-audio-optimist-cory-wong","provider":"BCR Music \u0026 Sound","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
