Origin Effects has unveiled a pair of drive and tone shaper pedals that are inspired by the analogue vintage magic of the UA 610 recording preamp. The DCX Boost, voiced for electric guitar, and DCX Bass, voiced for bass, can serve players as a drive section, an EQ, or simply a tone-sweetening boost. And they might just be one of those pedals that makes everything better.
That looks to be whole idea behind this endeavour. With its nigh-on gourmet lineup of compressor pedals and high-end drives, Origin Effects has always positioned itself as the the brand for guitar tone connoisseurs, drawing inspiration from outboard studio gear such as the Urei 1176 studio compressor and vintage Pultec studio EQ as well as such iconic stompboxes as the Ibanez Tube Screamer.
