Morning Glory Clean: Redefining the Transparent Standard
The quest for the perfect "transparent" tone often ends in a compromise: as soon as you add grit, you lose the very nuances you were trying to preserve. Your pick attack compresses, your low end thins out, and your dynamics narrow.
The Morning Glory Clean is our answer to that problem. We didn’t just add a knob to our most legendary circuit; we rebuilt the ultimate first-stage overdrive from the ground up around a studio-grade parallel clean blend.
The Magic of Parallel Processing
The Morning Glory is beloved for its "jangly" harmonic boost and soft compression, but those characteristics naturally reshape your signal. By integrating a sophisticated parallel circuit, you can now dial the natural authority and low-end punch of your clean guitar back into the mix.
Pro-Grade Engineering: Unlike simple mix knobs that cause phase issues, our dual-gang potentiometer ensures your clean gain scales proportionally with the drive signal.
Massive Headroom: Running on a ±9V dual supply, this pedal offers more headroom than the original V1 or any standard Bluesbreaker-style clone on the market.
Pure Signal Integrity: The Tone control affects only the overdrive path, leaving your parallel clean signal untouched and pristine.
The "Big Amp" Feel at Any Volume
Those iconic, massive clean-to-broken-up tones usually require high-wattage amps at volumes that would get you evicted. The Morning Glory Clean delivers that same stiffness, clarity, and "edge-of-breakup" authority without the ear-splitting decibels. It breathes life into digital modelers (Kemper, Quad Cortex, Helix) and provides bass players with the low-end retention they’ve always craved.
Simple. Immediate. Essential.
This isn't a pedal for those seeking "bells and whistles" or wild, experimental sounds. It’s for the player who wants their gear to sound like their gear, only better. It’s designed to be an "always-on" staple that improves everything in your signal chain—from stacking with heavy distortions to running after delays for complex series/parallel textures.
