These small amps have long been a secret recording technique to layer instruments yielding huge gain response. In an effort to maintain that approach, the Black Belt has a 2nd channel that emulates these small blown out tones. The frequency range is a bit more even, lending itself to the sonic realm of any number of small battery powered amps that artists have used over the past decades.

The intent is to give musicians another cool way to get creative in the studio and expand their tracking capabilities, meanwhile giving the option to utilize these tones in a live setting as well.

The British Black Belt can be used to achieve lo-fi settings, huge walls of gain, or scaled back variations of either. Just one knob for each keeps the operation simple.
