Cult Germanium Channel’s added controls shape tones before and after the drive circuit. Variable input capacitance yields everything from bright ’60s-style treble boosting to Sabbath-like sludge. Immaculately tuned 2-band active EQ helps you dial in the perfect emphasis. The EQ is fastidiously tuned for good, usable sounds at every possible setting. The pedal runs on all standard 9-volt power supplies.

• PRE shapes your tone at the input. With the knob fully right, you get the fat, full-frequency sound of the one-knob Cult pedal. Rotating the other way filters the signal — it gets progressively cleaner and brighter. (You can think of PRE as a “fat vs. crisp control.”) The PRE and DRIVE controls are extremely interactive.

• DRIVE cranks up the gain. It’s scaled for cool sounds throughout its entire range (unlike ’60s booster clones, which sound best cranked.) DRIVE and PRE are highly interactive.

• LOWS and HIGHS control an active EQ stage. (Such circuits never appeared on ’60s pedals.) The knobs provide usable tones in all possible positions.

• TRIM is simply a master volume control.
