Horrothia reboots its Teeth Discrete Low-Gain Overdrive - now in MKII edition with Enhanced and Additional Features

Tom Oakes’ Teeth MKII is a pretty distinctive, incredibly transparent Low-Gain Overdrive which is designed to make the most of the gain curve that leads up to the breakup and crunch stage. The Teeth is totally honed for the subtler side of drive. And it does this with some very clever controls and the highest audiophile quality of discrete components.

"Teeth is a 9 transistor, all analogue design, using no IC opamps.  No modelling, nothing digital. There are two completely discrete transistor based opamps inside (using hand selected components) for supreme tonal clarity."

I will start by identifying the 4 key differences for the new pedal - as touched on in the visual above.

MKII UPDATES

• Power Supply - now takes 9-18V for even greater headroom, vs 9V of original
• Breath Control - evolves into fully granular active-EQ knob from rocker-switch of original
• Mid-Voicing - updated and enhanced from the previous version
• Footswitch - quieter bypass switching

CONTROLS

Gain Stage - Gain Level / Max Degree of Gain available at full Saturation

Clipping - Shape of overdrive clipping from Soft squashy compression to more squared-off, Harder, traditional low gain drive

Saturation - Essentially a Dry to Wet Mix control where each is routed in parallel and you can cleverly blend in the Wet Gain site - starting fully Clean CCW and Saturated CW

Breath - Active EQ control to adjust top-end ’Air’ and Harmonics ±3dB @ 1.5kHz

Volume - Output Level

This is a really unique and unusual overdrive pedal for those of you who really want to fully shape your signal for slightly more cleaner styles of play - adds wonderful texture and dynamics to your core dry signal.

Note that there are no new demos out yet for the new devices - so the ones below are of the previous MKI model - which is about 95% the same!
