9 Band EQ
This consists of BASS, MIDDLE and TREBLE controls with three sliders placed between each control. These can be used in a number of ways:
Firstly as a very simple Bass, Middle and Treble tone control section as found on older traditional amplifiers. This is done by leaving the two sets of sliders interposed between these controls set in their centre positions and using only the BASS, MIDDLE and TREBLE controls to alter the overall tone.
Secondly, if more control is required then the sliders can also be used to tailor the E.Q. In the regions between the main tone controls. This provides
Tube Drive
Allowing you to blend a Dual Triode Tube amplification/overdrive section into your sound, add either tonal character i.e. warmth or a slight edge in the sound through to an increasing degree of Tube distortion/overdrive.
Professional Connections
Not that you'd expect any less, The Interstellar is loaded with connectivity. A tuner output, Line out, transparent FX loop and a Line Input for the connection of an external sampler or sound source (ie Moog Taurus Pedal). Output muting cuts the signal from the DI output but leaves the tuner output 'live', allowing the player to tune up in silence.
CL-310 the perfect combination!
Taking inspiration from the PA cabinets of yesteryear the CL-310 is a very unique and special cabinet for bass guitar. Guy teams up his Interstellar head with two of our CL-310 custom shop speaker cabinets for a killer on stage tone!
Flexible Footswitching
Paired with our FS-4 footswitch (not included) the Interstellar comes alive for onstage use, enabling on-the-fly tonal gearshifts. With footswitchable Valve Drive, Compression, EQ and Sub Harmonic Generator.
