This type of clipping is generally favored by the folks wanting a cleaner, more compressed, low-to-medium gained Overdrive sound. The other choice we have are Hard-Clipped pedals like the RAT, Distortion+, Boss DS-1, etc. These pedals create distortion using diodes tied to ground or, unique to the Fulltone OCDv2, Mosfets that are tied to the half-way point between 9volt and ground (Vref) offering a more natural sounding distortion, one that emulates the SAG (feel) of an amp’s tube rectifier..\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original PlimSoul is the only pedal to offer both Soft \u0026amp; Hard clipping with separate control over each. I designed the PlimSoul’s unique, independent dual-stage clipping circuit to replicate not only the sound, but the feel of a tube amp with its subtleties and complexities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original PlimSoul was a great first step, but the PlimSoul mkII offers significant improvements over it:\u003cbr\u003eInput Impedance increased from 500k to 700K+ ohms for even better interaction with guitar’s Volume knob.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTop-Mounted Jacks and external power port.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoft-Clipping (Stage 1) and Hard-Clipping (Stage 2) are now truly-independent, allowing for aggressive, punchy gain with the Hard-Clipping knob turned up even while the Soft-Clipping knob is turned down!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHard clipping now uses two Germanium Diodes tied to Vref, instead of LEDs...it’s a night-and-day improvement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLoss-less Bass switch, located just before the Hard-Clipping in the circuit, giving the ability for tight, percussive distortion that’s not muddy. You will find your place in the mix immediately, and sound great doing it!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTreble control now offers plenty of brightness when turned up.\u003cbr\u003eThe Soft-Clipping stage is extremely Asymmetrical, the Hard-Clipping stage is Symmetrical, dial-in infinite combinations of the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fulltone PlimSoul mkII might be the most versatile Overdrive\/Distortion ever made. They are Hand-Built in the U.S.A. using top-notch, full size components, many of our components are designed by me and made exclusively for Fulltone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fulltone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40862967955591,"sku":"CS-PLS-MKII","price":229.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/files\/fulltone-effects-and-pedals-overdrive-and-boost-fulltone-custom-shop-plim-soul-mkii-overdrive-distortion-pedal-fulltone-custom-shop-plim-soul-mkii-overdrive-distortion-pedal-cs-pls-mkii-1079249091.jpg?v=1768281437","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.mom\/products\/fulltone-custom-shop-plim-soul-mkii-overdrivedistortion-1933394","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
