Black Emperor is voiced for relatively high gain fuzz feel, with compressed, bursting attack and earth-shaking bass content surpassing even the fattest green muffs I've tried. While it's bass capacity results in sound almost collapsing under it's own power, good amount of treble presence secures fuzz clarity.

Mini version comes with many new sounds available via two toggle switches. Both up follow 'stock' Black Emperor circuit design.

Left toggle switched down replaces typical muff type 'tone' control with RAT style 'filter', providing substantial volume boost due to whole lot of midrange recovered. Filter turned fully CCW allows for flat EQ, turn it CW to gradually roll off treble. This mode transforms Black Emperor into a completely different fuzz sound than possible with traditional muff circuits, not sacrificing even smallest bit of its remarkable power.

Right toggle switched to 'blast' mode alters a few aspects of pedal behaviour. Notes attack gets nasty, aggressive feel, with more definition and bite instead of smoother and compressed response of 'sustain' setting. Low-end is even further increased at higher gain range. In 'blast' mode gain control is frequency selective, what means at max gain sound is extremely fat and fuzzy, while reducing gain makes it less overloaded, but noticeably brighter, more dynamic and cutting-thru.
