Remaining inventory is now available.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Cestus started life as a simple clean boost pedal but was discontinued some time ago. When we reworked the SusMaryOsep! for RJ Ronquillo the first thing he requested was a Treble Booster. After that circuit was completed we knew we had to re-release the Cestus as that treble booster! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\" sans helvetica sans-serif\u003eThis new version of the Cestus uses a silicon Mil Spec NOS 2N2222A transistor in lieu of a germanium transistor. This gives us the consistency and inventory necessary to produce these. In switching to silicon you have a Treble Boost that’s got a unique grit and hair to it that works well even on slightly cleaner guitar amps.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\" sans helvetica sans-serif\u003eSwitch on the face of the Cestus is a 3-Way voice toggle that goes from classic\/thin boost tones in the middle, more mid-foward tones in the up position, and bass heavy and thick tones when switched downward. This handy toggle allows you to match the voicing with your setup or allows you to cover a wider range of tones. With the right amp or dirt pedal after this unit you will be able to run the gamut of lead and rhythm tones of yesteryear.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"\" sans helvetica sans-serif\u003eThe SET control sets your overall output and the wide range of output lets you go from just a slight re-voicing of your signal to amp crushing power when dimed.
