Pre-loaded with 20 exclusive presets, this unit captures the legendary late-'70s guitar tones using AI Machine Modeling and input from expert Jim Gaustad. The compact pedalboard format fits any rig, letting players add historic sounds without sacrificing space. This collector's edition unlocks the Brown Sound 78/79 Signature Collection, plus future content valued at $200, making it a standout for fans aiming to channel those era-defining tones. Plug it into an amp, FRFR cab or direct, and you can perform, record, or tweak classic tones on stage or in a home studio.
AI Machine Modeling Preserves Classic Amp Tone
IK's AI Machine Modeling captures every detail of vintage amps, effects, and cabinets, delivering authentic feel and response. Each preset on this limited-run pedal reflects hours of analysis and modeling, with 20 unique patches developed in partnership with a leading brown sound authority. The unit does more than emulate amps—it gives you the touch sensitivity, overtones, and harmonic character you'd expect from a real tube rig. Players get access to historic sounds without the cost or maintenance of rare vintage gear.
Integrated VIR Cabinets and Custom IR Loader Expand Sound Design
This pedal features IK's VIR multi-IR cabinet simulation and a custom impulse response loader, supporting a wide range of cabinet and mic combinations. Users can load their own IRs or explore thousands of Tone Models via ToneNET. The ability to swap cabinets and mics with precision helps shape both live and recorded guitar parts. With onboard EQ, noise gate, compressor, delay, modulation, and stereo reverbs, sound design becomes straightforward and rewarding.
Simple Controls and Flexible Connectivity Streamline Rig Integration
The mini pedal format saves space and works in mono or stereo via TRS output. Up to 20 user presets can be loaded, with A/B or on/off operation for live switching. The USB-C port offers direct audio interfacing at 24-bit/44.1kHz, so you can record into your DAW without extra gear. An onboard tuner and colored micro knobs make dialing in settings quick and clear, even in dark environments. Plug into amps, powered cabs, or direct to PA for consistent tone in any setting.
Durable Enclosure for Lasting Performance
Manufactured in Italy, the unit features a sturdy chassis designed for years of use. The compact housing resists knocks and pedalboard wear. All jacks and controls have a solid, quality feel, and the paintwork resists scratches and fading. This construction ensures the pedal stands up to repeated setup, teardown, and travel between gigs or sessions.
