RJM Music, renowned for its innovative musical gear, recently launched the Full English, a fully programmable overdrive and distortion pedal. This device stands out with its 100% analog signal path, drawing inspiration from classic British pedal designs. It’s a noteworthy sequel to the company’s 2021 Overture pedal.
RJM Music Full English
The Full English is designed to capture the essence of British-inspired tones, using the same advanced programmable analog technology seen in the Overture. It offers a diverse range of sounds, from transparent low to medium overdrive to the robust “amp in a box” grind.
Marshall?
Essentially, this new overdrive pedal combines all those well-loved Marshall overdrive pedals from the 1990s. Those pedals were reissued earlier this year, by the reinvigorated UK-based amp company, that is now owned by Zound Industries, the Swedish company that’s previously licensed the Marshall brand for its headphones and speakers.
Modes
Six modes are available, ranging from clean boost to overdrive to high gain distortion. You can use these modes to create up to 8 presets and recall them with the press of a button. Though, via MIDI users can recall up to 100 presets. The circuit also features a powerful 3-band active post-EQ for shaping the tones and allowing users to sculpt them to taste.
Six Modes
- Push – This mode is a clean boost that’s designed to push the front end of an amp. It has a high maximum output level.
- Blues – Inspired by a British low to medium gain pedal from the ’90s that’s gained in popularity over the years.
- Royal – Based on a very popular boutique modification of the “Blues” pedal above, it has a slightly different frequency response and overdrive characteristic.
- Imperial – A higher gain version of Royal, using hard clipping instead of soft clipping.
- Shred – A high gain, compressed distortion mode designed for soloing. Great for 80’s shred and beyond!
- Stack – A big-sounding distortion mode, more open and dynamic than Shred, designed to sound like a high-gain amp.
Key Features of the Full English include:
– A purely analog signal path for authentic sound quality.
