Lusithand Devices Announces the Ground & Pound MKII Pedal
Lusithand Devices has updated another of its products with the Ground & Pound MKII. The new stompbox “greatly improves” on the original, they say, by adding two modes that can be toggled with a mini switch.
“The new ‘ground’ mode has a deeper tone with a modern sound profile that will attract the heavier-music bass players out there, in the wild,” Lusithand writes. “On the other hand, the ‘pound’ sets the pedal to its original/raw full-on mode.”
The Ground & Pound MKII also has a new L-pad switch that gives -10dB attenuation to accommodate instruments with a hotter signal. The distortion control has been revamped to keep the distortion volume more consistent as the gain and distortion increase. Finally, the Mix control has a 2:1 compression ratio for a musical balance between your clean and dirty signals.
The Lusithand Devices Ground & Pound MKII will be available November 18th for £209, or approximately $265 USD.
