The Sidecar-24V-JPN, a domestic limited edition model with only 40 units produced, is now available in Metallic White Aluminum! The Sidecar-24V-JPN internally boosts the 9V power supply to 24V, increasing headroom and reducing distortion, compression, and sag. It's also ideal for bass, baritone, and low-tuned guitars. The domestic limited model "Sidecar-24V-JPN" uses a 9V power supply and internally boosts it to 24V for high-voltage operation, ensuring sufficient headroom. The classic 808 circuit is recreated with the versatility of a powerful 2-band EQ inspired by vintage Studer recording consoles. The distinctive and attitudeful Sidecar delivers classic overdrive and distortion, and in extreme settings, even fuzz and boost. The Sidecar's front end is an improved version of the classic 808 overdrive, tuned for a larger low end, wider gain range, and greater headroom. At the heart of the clipping section is a pair of germanium diodes with a softer response, preserving the dynamics and feel of your playing. The powerful 2-band Baxandall equalizer section follows the drive section, allowing you to cut and boost highs and lows by up to 15dB, so you can always shape your tone while maintaining musicality. • Power supply - 9VDC center negative. *Do not use power supplies other than 9V, as the device uses an internal 24V boost converter.・Current consumption - max. 50mA • High-performance, high-fidelity audio operational amplifier • Pair of germanium diodes • BI potentiometer • Highly durable Alpha footswitch (rated for over 30,000 cycles) Each unit is individually hand-assembled on a high-quality PCB, with assembly, wiring, testing, and packaging all performed by Michael Hudson. ■Control DRIVE, BASS, TREBLE, LEVEL ■Power supply 9VDC center negative. *Do not use power supplies other than 9V due to internal voltage boosting. Doing so will void the warranty. ■Maximum current consumption 50mA
