Mythos has finally come up with their take on the iconic green overdrive pedal! Zach has established himself as one of the internet's most obsessive Tube Screamer connoisseurs. Mythos started with an 808 inspired circuit and modded it to make it louder and more versatile.
You get a classic 3 knob control layout, through hole/socketed op-amp, expanded drive range, bass boost, and clipping mode switch.
The pedal ships with both mod buttons in the "Up Position" which is Zach's preferred setting - normal bass and no clipping diodes. Engaging the "Lows" button will add bottom end and reduce the midrange. Engaging the "Clip" button will add in symmetrical soft clipping and make the overall sound a bit more traditional.
From Mythos:
What makes the Envy so special are the two Push Buttons, a first for Mythos. When in the up position, it's the classic TS style sound. Engaging the LOWS push button allows you fatten up the low end for a more even sound that's slightly less mid forward. With the CLIP button in the up position, it's the stock Silicon Soft Clipping we all know, but when you push the button in it removes the diodes from the circuit. Removing the diodes makes the pedal much louder but also you're getting all the character of the op amp, for a more open and dynamic sound. A far cry from the compressed clipping of the stock diodes, but the 4 different combinations this affords you allows for a wide variety of sounds.
Internally the Envy features a socketed RC4558P chip, one of the iconic chips we've read about in so many forums and product listings. Mythos has opted to make this socketed so the adventurous user may easily swap the chip out with any similar dual op amp and truly make this pedal their own.
Zach from Mythos is known far and wide as a fan of this circuit, we didn't choose to reinvent the wheel but give players the best take we could on such an iconic overdrive pedal.
