Electric Guitar Effects
The Comet is a highly accurate overdrive that offers a wide range of sounds from very simple controls. A worthy representative of Hamstead Soundworks' quest to push analogue circuitry to new heights, it can be anything from a boutique-sounding overdrive with organic midrange to a rich, creamy fuzz.
ARTICLE N° 83606
Presentation
The rich, transparent tones are accessible via a simple but incredibly powerful switch.
What's more, your sound can be shaped via an intuitive two-band EQ, for extra sound sculpting.
From preamp boost to fuzz, the Comet has a huge range of gain settings available.
To push the circuit even further into high-gain territory an internal switch adds extra speed, this Hi Gain mode can open up thick crunch and distortion or even highly saturated fuzz.
For even more flexibility, the internal Hi-Cut potentiometer lets you adapt the high frequencies to any configuration.

To find out more...
At the heart of Comet is the EQ/Drive switch, providing two distinct tonal paths. While on the surface it may appear to be a simple physical switch, it's much more than that.
By selecting DRV>EQ or EQ>DRV, you change not only the order of the Drive and EQ circuits, but also the type of clipping circuit and gain structure.
The design uses complex analogue engineering on the inside, to be simple and instinctive to use on the outside.
DRV>EQ mode gives you a highly dynamic and transparent clipping circuit and places the EQ after the drive circuit, for a studio style EQ sculpt.
EQ>DRV mode moves the EQ in front of a more raw, but organic, clipping style that increases the input gain to the drive circuit.
This provides a wide range of characterful drive tones that can be pushed up to super-saturated fuzz tones.
