The Goldilocks Planet

Distortion

Distortion with 3 clipping modes, Density knob (low-end boost), variable tone stack—10mA/9V, 117x64x57mm.

The Goldilocks Planet delivers distortion with 3 different clipping modes and dedicated Density knob designed for both guitarists and bassists, addressing players seeking versatile distortion accommodating different instruments and pickup types. Three clipping modes provide distinct distortion character ranging from smooth compression through aggressive saturation, addressing scenarios where different songs or guitars require different clipping behavior. Density knob boosts signal's low-end before clipping stage, maintaining bass frequency clarity and punch essential for bass guitar or humbucker-equipped guitars where standard distortions lose definition in low frequencies.

Variable tone stack provides sonic shaping beyond simple treble cut, addressing frequency sculpting requirements for different amplifiers and playing contexts. 5 knobs and toggle switch provide comprehensive control depth: clipping mode selection, density adjustment, gain control, tone shaping, and volume. True bypass switching maintains signal integrity when disengaged. Input impedance 100kΩ, output impedance variable depending on settings.

Dimensions 117x64x57mm (4.625x2.5x2.25" with knobs), requires Boss-style 9V DC center-negative power at only 10mA draw (exceptionally low current consumption suitable for daisy-chain power supplies). The Goldilocks Planet targets players seeking versatile distortion accommodating both guitar and bass without requiring separate instrument-specific distortion pedals, suitable for multi-instrumentalists, studio recording scenarios where single distortion must handle diverse sources, and players using extended-range guitars where low-frequency clarity matters as much as midrange distortion character.
