mother MKiii
The Mother MkIII takes the versatility of the MkII model even further. Now available in two versions: A no-frills high-headroom Single Channel and versatile Dual Channel model. The Mother MkIII's British High-wattage 70's-influenced tone ranges from balanced high-headroom clean to vintage bark, and on the dual channel model, a unique overdrive that brings the classic voice into a new sonic realm. The Mother MkIII is designed to equally accommodate both guitar and Hi-Fi bass
DETAILED ANAYLSIS
The Single Channel version features Channel A from the Dual Channel model, great for those in search of the highest-strength pedal platform. This single channel version goes from punchy cleans to vintage crunch with plenty of headroom for even the most towering fuzz and distortion pedals and downtuned instruments. The tone is clear, but never fizzy. This channel strikes a balance between clarity and warmth and highly shapable.
The Dual Channel version adds a second wide-range channel that takes the tonality of Channel A, and keeps on going into higher levels of saturation, from nearly clean, to crunch to crushing gain with dynamics intact.
In addition to the Mother's wide spectrum of gain, its EQ is equally wide-ranging. The flexible EQ section begins with the unique 4-position rotary Depth knob, which sets the overall bass extension, low-mid voice, and low-end breakup characteristics in the front end of the amplifier.
From there, the Bass, Middle, Treble EQ sculpts your tone. The Bass control shapes the low-end voicing set with the Depth, provide controlled deep solid lowend. The unique mid control goes from completely scooped to forward vocal midrange. The Treble controls the overall high-end, and for further control, the unique Absence shapes the the tone from present and searing to dark and fogged-out.
And finally, the Loudness control(s) transparently varies the overall volume of the amp down to bedroom levels without sucking your tone.
