BRENT MASON: HOT WIRED V2
Many people think they've never heard of Brent Mason. We bet even if they don't recognize the name, there's a good chance they've heard it before. Brent is, without a doubt, the number 1 session guitarist in Nashville and has been since the early 1990s. He is not only a legendary studio figure, but also a renowned composer and lyricist. His compositions have been used in countless films, television shows and commercials. His solo albums, especially "Hot Wired" (which gave this pedal its name), have become almost legendary due to their reputation for guitar tone and music quality. With Brent, you won't believe it until you hear it.
Built on the foundations of the very popular v1, the v2 stands out for its versatility. The Nashville studio scene has changed over the past few years, and so we've edited Hot Wired to reflect the industry in which Brent works. v1 was geared towards all-out picking and beyond. v2 brings you a wider range of subtleties on channel 1. You can still find the chickin' pickin' tones, but you can also find a deeper, warmer overdrive section that will let you play as softly as you want . With the added blend control, you won't believe how fat your sound can be without it sounding too overdriven. Channel 2 still has the same "British Plexi" flavor that Brent loves.
Two pedals in one (overdrive and distortion), the Hot Wired is undoubtedly one of the most versatile pedals available today. One channel of the Hot Wired meets all your overdrive needs, from a smooth break up to an all-out crunch, the other gives you earth... Loads of fat, creamy distortion that's perfect for 'one end of the spectrum to the other. If necessary, you can stack them to get a huge sound.
