[NAMM] Daring Audio Edge Activator HD

Features:

• Two position EQ midrange toggle switch “EQ-Hi” for high midrange cut or boost, and “EQ-Lo” for low midrange cut or boost, with selected frequency centers for enhancing the differences due to playing technique changes: for slap, pop, tapping and harmonics on bass.
• Expansion of the Range control allowing differing amounts of excited or overdrive frequencies to be added in. This expansion now covers some of the range from the classic overdrive Particle Beam.
• Expansion of the Gain control, enabling line level signals for re-amping, previously requiring the Pad switch and now allowing more boost if needed.
• A new toggle switch “Crisp/Smooth” where Crisp allows a full range 20–20K Hz and Smooth provides roll-off for more vintage or classic rock overdrive settings.
• The Blend control now goes 100% wet to 100% dry, allowing use of the preamp with or without the effects of blended overdrive and excitation, according to the company.

Like other Daring Audio pedals, this one has 18V high headroom on a single 9V battery or standard center-negative Boss style 9V adapter and true-bypass switching.
