Sansamp Character Plus Series
The original SansAmp Character Series was introduced in 2008. These pedals commemorated a range of eras within specific amplifier personalities, of which there were 8 in total. By simply twisting a few knobs, you could build the most sought-after tones and hot rod your own. From rare vintage classics to roaring modern icons, every variation was delivered in their own distinctive voicings.

With an abundance of knob controls, the 2-channel Character Plus Series pedals are easy to use and feature our proprietary, 100% analog SansAmp technology. You can explore and tailor various eras within each amp style simply by turning a knob. Each continuously-variable Character control sweeps through an entire tonal range, spanning decades of sounds. The Character, EQ controls and speaker simulation are individually voiced to reflect the specific personality traits inherent in each amp style.

Additionally, each of these multi-function pedals is like having a stompbox within a stompbox. (BOGO anyone?) You can use the amp emulation on its own or just the effect on its own.

The Character Plus Series pedals offer significant flexibility and value at a nominal price. Whether you’re frugal or extravagant, you can focus on the one that is your personal favorite or collect them all –and trade them with your friends!

The Character Plus Series celebrates the unique chemistry between specific historic amplifiers and specific historic pedals, and cleverly unites them together in single packages:

   Screaming Blonde      =  Fender-style  Tube Screamer-style
   English Muffy              =  HiWatt-style Big Muff-style
   Fuzzy Brit                    =  Marshall-style Fuzz Face-style
   Mop Top Liverpool     =  Vox-style Rangemaster Booster-style

ENGLISH MUFFY

Range of Character Settings:
• Below 12 o’clock yields clean, classic HiWatt-style tones.

• Above 12 o’clock accentuates upper mids for Gilmour/Floyd-style leads.
• Full up may cause your mate or your lead singer to flee the premises, which could be desirable in certain circumstances.
