Only one knob on today’s pedal, you say? How boring… Well, sometimes, that’s all you need to make a bold and loud musical statement. We’re taking a look at the Animals Pedal Dawn Ocean Meditation Boost, a clean booster that reproduces numerous vintage tones and powerful, classic style boosting to your signal…
A collaboration with Matthew Holl from Wren and Cuff, the Dawn Ocean raises your instrument’s volume without distorting the signal itself. As the signal strength increases, the edges and balance of each band, including the overtone components, change slightly, which has various effects on the overall guitar sound. The Dawn Ocean Meditation Booster gives your tone a thickness, without breaking the rough balance of high, mid, and low frequencies, putting an emphasis on boost sound over boost level.
The Dawn Ocean is a pedal that sounds rougher than a typical clean booster, producing a maximum of +15dB if you need it. As you get up need the max boost, some distortion elements start to appear, making this one-knob wonder a real tone-enhancement unit for any rig. We love the collaborations between Animals Pedal and Wren and Cuff, and this is another simple but righteous example. Check out the Animals Pedal website for more info, the Wren and Cuff website for their excellent gear lineup and don’t forget about our demo video below as well. Cheers!
