(designed by BJF) Purple Humper - Midrange Booster
Unearth the midrange magic of the One Control Purple Humper, a compact booster pedal that channels the essence of vintage British tone. Designed by the legendary Bjorn Juhl of BJF, this pedal is a meticulously re-engineered take on the rare BJFE Purple Humper circuit, originally found in classic 1960s Stratocasters. The Purple Humper's secret lies in its ability to enhance your guitar's natural midrange frequencies with remarkable precision and clarity. Unlike many mid-boosters that can sound nasal or muffled, this pedal delivers a warm, harmonically rich tone that evokes the dynamic response of a high-output British amplifier. Its single Blend control allows you to seamlessly integrate the boosted signal, whether you're seeking a subtle preamp coloration or a pronounced tonal transformation. At minimum settings, the Purple Humper functions as a pristine buffer, preserving the integrity of your guitar's voice. Crank the Blend, however, and you'll unlock up to 15dB of focused midrange boost - perfect for cutting through the mix, accentuating lead lines, or taming overly bright amplifiers. Its versatility shines when paired with overdrives and distortions, as the Purple Humper can either emphasize tonal clarity or add harmonically dense richness to your gain. Housed in a rugged, compact aluminum enclosure, the Purple Humper is a true-bypass pedal that runs on a standard 9V power supply or battery. Whether you're a vintage tone enthusiast or a modern player seeking a secret weapon, this BJF-designed marvel is a must-try for guitarists in search of that elusive British midrange magic.
