CopperSound Gravity Bomb V2 Clean Boost & Mids Enhancer

This one goes to Eleven!

The Gravity Bomb V2 clean boost pedal picks up where the original left off; delivering up to 20dB of clean boost over the sweep of it’s volume pot, similarly powered by an audiophile-grade Burr Brown Op Amp. With the addition of our Mid-enhance toggle, V2 allows the player to further dial in their boosted tone, by selecting from three different mid-range types.

The center position –  just like Gravity Bomb V1 – maintains a flat and neutral EQ curve. In the down position, V2 boosts Mids at 750Hz, while the up position boosts at 1kHz, making this boost pedal a great tool to pair with other pedals to give them a fresh tone and feel. Gravity Bomb V2 features mechanical true-bypass switching. As a result, the input signal is sent directly to the output in the off position. Try it at 18v for increased headroom!

Clean boost pedal? Yes! Mids boost pedal? Yes!

While we were in the designing process for V2, we wanted to maintain the miniature form factor and overall sound. We came up with the idea to incorporate an active mid-range control that would allow the user to access 2 mid-range frequencies in the up or down position on the toggle switch. Conversely, completely flat EQ from the original is available via the toggle switch in the middle position, making for a perfect choice for a clean boost pedal. For our Mini Series, we designed a custom enclosure. Similar to the familiar 1590A, our enclosure is a little bit taller to make it easier to access while among larger/taller pedals.

• Specs

  • 20dB of clean volume boost
  • Toggle switch for selecting three different mid-range types
  • Mechanical, True-Bypass switching
  • 9v – 18v:  2.1mm x 5.5mm Center Negative
  • Consumption: 10mA @ 9v  | 20mA @ 18v
  • In/Out: ¼” Instrument Cable
  • 3.65″ x 1.8″ x 2.19″ (including jacks and hardware)

When we began expanding our Mini Series line-up, we made sure to offer a versatile catalog. The idea for a compressor had been in the foreground of our conversations. Given the space confines of our mini enclosure, paired with the size of traditional through-hole components, we got creative when it came to designing circuits.
