AUST RRP: $769
Comprised of the Moollon Compressor, Equalizer, D.I plus Signal Boost, The Moollon Custom Shop 3 Plus is a full-range effect combo suitable for all kinds of musical applications. Whether it be in the recording studio or in live situations, users of acoustic guitars and the electric bass can make quick and efficient active use of the dual Amp/Mic and direct to console outputs.
The both simple yet detailed EQ controls can dial in a diverse palate of tones including useful control of feedback, in addition to taming booming-prone basses and shrill upper end tones. When it comes to leveling out the volume of the input signal, the Moollon compressor has already begun to gain acceptance as a standalone unit offering very natural compression, and is featured as the first stage of the 3 Plus.
The final stage of the 3 Plus is the Signal Boost, which offers up to 12db of clean gain to the overall signal for not only bringing up the volume of weaker output pickups, but also for boosting solos or simply raising the total volume without any tonal colorization whatsoever.
The transformer-balanced D.I. converts the instrument level to that of necessary mic level, with the D.I. output made suitable for either a console”s mic input or a mic preamp.
Between the Compressor and Equalizer a send/return loop is conveniently placed to assist with additional pedal placement in the signal chain to offer even more diverse possibilities with tone shaping. For example, an overdrive/distortion pedal can be placed in the loop, and by dialing in a speaker simulation setting in the EQ.
After setting the Low and High cut along with Mid boost, the Frequency and Bandwidth of the mids can be adjusted to create various tones suitable for direct recording. The Compressor can also be effective in jointly creating an analog tape machine simulation, and the Boost useful for saturating the console input, making the Custom Shop 3 Plus also a practical tool for shaping the possibilities of analog tone in a digital environment.
Operate with 9V negative tip adaptor (BOSS PSA type) only, not with battery.
