Fuchs Plush Extreme Cream Overdrive Pedal

The Plush Cream is a two-channel version of our legendary Cream pedal. The Plush "Extreme Cream" pedal is a unique product, designed by Andy Fuchs. It uses a unique circuit topology which uses a combination of IC's and selected FET's, for lowest noise and the warmest tube like overdrive tones possible.

The unit is activated when a standard 1/4" guitar cable is plugged into the input jack. If using this unit on battery power, the guitar cable should be unplugged when it's not in use, to extend battery life.

The Plush "Extreme Cream" is an easy to use dual channel overdrive pedal, which is easily dialed in for the widest range of overdrive tones. The two channels are identical in operation; however each channel is voiced slightly different, for greater tonal versatility. The left-hand footswitch changes channels, while the right-hand footswitch bypasses the pedal completely. When a guitar cable is plugged into the input jack, it powers the pedal. When the pedal is bypassed, the LED for the pre-selected channel will blink. This allows you to know which channel will become active when the pedal is engaged. When the pedal is engaged, the LED will stop blinking and switch to a solid color.

Each channel has identical controls: The gain control is set to control the amount of distortion. It can go from a mild blues style distortion, to a high gain shredder overdrive when set at maximum gain. The tone control goes from a dark (full counter clockwise) tone, to a bright chimey tone as… read more the control is turned up. Finally, the level control sets the final output level of the pedal. This control is used to set the solo level when the pedal is activated (LED on). The input impedance is 1-Meg, suitable for most any guitar or signal source. The output impedance is approximately 1-K, which is buffered, to drive long cables as well as subsequent effects.

The Plush "Extreme Cream" provides a true hard wire bypass, which means when not in use (LED not lit) the input is connected directly to the output, with no loading of the signal, and no active devices in the signal path. This pedal may be driven by a Plush "Pure Gain" pedal to achieve higher levels of gain and distortion.

The DC jack on the side is a standard 2.1 mm tip negative adaptor input. A Plush DC adaptor may be purchased from your local dealer or any standard Roland style (or similar) DC adaptor may be used. The output of the adaptor must be 9-Volts DC. Using this pedal with the incorrect adaptor may potentially damage the pedal, which will not be covered under warranty.

This Plush product is designed for years of reliable service, and there are no user serviceable or replaceable parts inside. Service should be obtained via our factory or the distributor from which you obtained the pedal, in the event of a product failure.

Battery replacement: To replace the battery, remove the four screws holding the rear cover in the unit. The battery should be replaced with a new premium quality 9-V alkaline batt read less
