Pete Cornish

Battery Free Pedal

《 Guitar Player》杂志曾这样评价这款效果器：

Pete cornish P2的失真音色异常肥厚、顺滑并且泛音丰富,其音色范围涵盖温润的Crunch音色到激烈的High-gqin高增益失真音色。

这款效果器的反应异常灵敏,能够表现出手指及拨片的每个细节,同时对吉他音量衰减的反应也非常清晰,在扫弦时,每根琴弦的分离度异常明显,让人感到惊异!无论如何,肥厚的音色、超高的信噪比、良好的动态反应、超长的延音、清晰的琴弦分离度等等都使得这款效果器成为经典。

P2以其肥厚、激烈的高增益主奏音色而著名,完美胜任重型摇滚主音及节奏音色。这款效果器也是 Pete Cornish计构建的 David Gilmour( Pink Floyd)以及 Paul Mccartney效果器系统中的主力军。P2丰满明亮的音色能让吉他在乐队之中脱颖而出。

P2的“Tone”有着较大的可调范围,能产生不同的高频衰减,在中间找到适合自己的位置。由于音色控制电路部分采用了全被动式频率衰减组件,所以不会产生不必要的相位偏移等问题。如果将P-2的“Tone”旋钮逆时针旋转至底部,P2会对3KHz频段进行14dB的衰减。如果将"Tone"旋钮顺时针旋转至顶部,P2会对信号输出最大的泛音量。

当你拿到这款效效果器时,最好将它单独与吉他和全频响音箱清音通道直接连接,通过吉他音箱、P2的参数调节来感受一下不同控制的相互反应方式。

这之后,你再将其他效果器与P2一起串联在效果器链中,你会发现你只需要非常简单的调节就能得到非常满意的音色,这是因为P2为整个效果器链输送了稳定的信号电平。
 

The PETE CORNISH P-2™ is highly recommended for a fat, high-gain, searing lead sound and is perfect for solos and heavy rock rhythm work. This pedal is used prominently by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd and Paul McCartney. The P-2™’s full, bright sound cuts through the mix effortlessly and was the recipient of the Editor's Pick Award from Guitar Player Magazine, receiving the following review:

"The PETE CORNISH P-2™ delivers extremely fat, smooth, and harmonically rich distortion tones, ranging from a relatively mellow crunch to searing high-gain sustain. The pedal is also extraordinarily responsive to playing dynamics, cleans up nicely with even slight guitar volume adjustments, and it provides nearly uncanny single-note definition within chords. Finally, it can crank out insane amounts of gain. Astonishing! Extremely fat tone, quiet, great dynamics, infinite sustain, exceptional chord definition".

The input to this unique device is our universally acclaimed High Impedance, Unity Gain, Class A, Buffer Preamp with it's superior RFI rejecting capability (to eliminate Radio Station interference) and Low Impedance Audio output, allowing the use of extended cable runs from the P-2™ in bypass mode. The fixed High Impedance load presented to the Guitar allows the pickups to operate at their optimum, even when several effects units are connected after the P-2™. The Unity Gain Buffer also prevents "Ghost Distortion" being audible in Bypass Mode. This effect unit gets the most benefit from being fed into a clean, full frequency response amplifier and I recommend that when you receive your pedal you connect it up without anything else in line, just Guitar/Pedal/Amp, and discover the way the controls interact, both with themselves and the guitar/amp controls. Then adding the rest of your effects, you may find that you need to make slight adjustments to these to compliment the constant signal level provided by the P-2™.

The tone facility on the P-2™ has been designed to provide an attenuation of 14dB at 3KHz when set fully Counter Clockwise. When the tone control is set fully Clockwise it provides the maximum Harmonic Content to the signal. Settings in-between CW and CCW will provide varying amounts of high frequency attenuation: experiment to find your optimum setting. The TONE control features fully passive frequency attenuating components that do not cause unnecessary phase shift or uncontrolled mid range problems.
