More or Less

More or Less pedal from Homenoise. One knob gives you more, one gives you less (bass).

From the builder: 

more can do more than it does

less does less than more but it does enough

A tuneable boost is a low noise gain stage that pushes the front of an amplifier or pedal in multiple ways by not being limited to only amplifying a single frequency range.

But the more or less is not just a boost circuit. Inside the pedal you’ll find a mode switch that opens up another range of sonic possibilities.

It’s also a hi-fi toneshaper designed to affect frequencies just on the edge of and outside the guitar frequency range, making it possible to shape and improve the tone of your guitar or setup anywhere in the signal chain. Connect it to the output of a fuzz or overdrive to use it as a versatile tone control for pedals that don’t have one. And at the end of the signal chain, it can be a line driver between your pedalboard and amplifier.

Even if it’s the only device between the guitar and amplifier, the more or less can function as a tool for adjusting the sound of a setup to the acoustics of a room, as a buffer when using long cables or simply for driving a tube amplifier into overdrive.

All this shows what the more or less was designed to be. A versatile tool that helps musicians shape and define their own unique sound.

The mode switch inside the more or less can be used to select either mode A or mode B which alters the way you can use the more dial.

mode A: toneshaping mode

• more: -22dB to +22dB low frequencies
• less: -22dB to +22dB high frequencies

mode B: boost mode

• more: 0dB (unity) to +22dB full range
• less: -22dB to +22dB high frequencies
