Electronic Audio Experiments Limelight V2

From the manufacturer:

Limelight is an all-new dual channel overdrive developed in collaboration with LA-based punk band Touche Amore to commemorate the release of their new LP, Lament.

The distinctive bright, clear tones of guitarists Nick Steinhardt and Clayton Stevens form the timbral foundation of TA's impassioned brand of post-hardcore, letting their riffs morph effortlessly between serene clean passages and cacophonous blast beats.

In preparation for the recording of Lament, the band reached out to us to develop a new pedal. We completely reimagined Nick and Clayton's go-to bluesbreaker and screamer-inspired overdrives to create a unique new circuit, with equal parts aggression and chime. An independent front-end boost rounds out the package, perfect for adding power to clean tones or pushing the overdrive into heavy distortion. While the primary goal was to help the band sound like their best selves, Limelight has a tone for everyone.

Controls:

• Boost – adjusts the Boost channel from 0dB to +21dB of clean gain when turned clockwise.
• Drive – Simultaneous control of two gain stages, with a natural midrange boost as you turn it clockwise. Achieves approximately 50dB at the maximum setting.
• Tone – Adjustable low pass filter, clockwise for more treble and counterclockwise for less.
• Volume – Output level control, turn clockwise for more volume.
• Focus – Variable low cut in the drive section, adjusts the amount of chime and midrange presence.
• Left footswitch – Engages drive circuit
• Right footswitch – Engages boost circuit

Specifications:

• Independent boost and drive circuits with relay-based true bypass switching which defaults to bypass in the event of power loss.
• Input impedance @ 1Khz: 500kΩ (boost/drive)
• Output impedance @ 1Khz: 1kΩ (boost), <5kΩ (drive)
• Power: 9VDC, 2.1mm center negative barrel. The current draw is 80mA with both channels engaged.
