Description:

**Coast Sonic is an official Pete Cornish Dealer**

New for 2021 and in celebration of our 45th year designing and building professional stage equipment we are proud to present the GC-1™.

This is a completely new unique three stage design which features both hard and soft clipping stages with automatic switching between them as the gain increases, and also has a wider gain range than any of our previous pedals making it perfect for live performance and recording.


With the gain set to minimum (+20dB=10X) we are in the area of Soft Sustain as found on our SS-2 and SS-3 and the inclusion of a three band powerful active EQ has enhanced even the lowest gain settings giving a new bonus of tone and volume. A wonderfully Smooth and Transparent Blues Crunch is a feature at low gain settings and the powerful EQ is a huge part of the sound with even small changes giving maximum tonal flexibility to suit any amp. The GC-1 has amazing Bottom End Retention and is Refined and Warm sounding without getting”muddy”.

As the Active EQ is so powerful the GC-1 can be used with both single coil and hum-bucker equipped guitars with equal facility.

Increasing the gain takes us gradually through the area of our G-2 and P-2 gain structures which gives a higher level of overdrive for that classic cranked up Marshall sound found on most British rock records of the ‘70s.

There is some serious Rhythm and Lead Tone here which is Powerful but with great Clarity and again, the inclusion of the three band active EQ adds the flexibility of massive amounts of Bass, Mid or Treble Boost will suit any conditions or amp used. Equal amounts of Bass, Mid and Treble Cut are also available - the neutral position of the three tone controls is 12 o’clock.

The GC-1 features an “amazing clean up” using the guitar volume control.

At Maximum gain (+56dB=640X) and adding a large amount of Mid Boost the High Energy Sustain obtained is both Harmonically Rich, Smooth and Fat; almost infinite Sustain is possible with the right guitar/amp combination.
An output Master Volume is included to allow for perfect matching between bypassed and boosted/EQ’d signal level and there is plenty of output signal headroom available to overdrive amp inputs if required.

Our well established Class A input Buffer (LD-1) and radio frequency suppressor is, of course, included and the output buffer impedance is low; to easily drive long cables or other loads without loss of signal or tone.
The Buffer is also fully active in bypass mode to prevent losses associated with long cables and/or load impedances that would not the suitable to connect directly to a passive guitar pickup.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
Overall boost with Gain = 100% and Volume = 100% is +56 dB (640X)
Overall boost with Gain = 0% and Volume = 100% is +20dB (10X)
The above with Bass, Middle and Treble set to 50% = Neutral point = 0dB boost/cut). Bass Control range +/- 16dB @ 50Hz
Mid Control range +/- 15dB @ 950Hz
Treble Control range +/-17dB @ 4KHz
Maximum signal output with Volume 100% is +12dBm/ 3.1v rms/ 6.5v peak to peak.

FEATURES:
RFI rejecting input and bypass buffer.
Each unit is hand built, wired and tested by Pete, Lynda and Mingus Cornish.
Housed in a Rugged Die-cast box size 171X121X55mm with lined control knobs.
Heavy Duty Custom made all-metal footswitch plus Daylight Visible LED.
Easy battery replacement via a removable ‘drawer’. The battery is switched on when you insert the "IN/PWR ON" jack and to ensure long battery life unplug this lead when the unit is not in use. If the unit is not to be used for a long length of time, or to be adapter powered, we recommend that you remove the battery. Preferred battery type is MN1604. Also fitted is an input for a DC adapter: the size of the coax connector is 5.5/2.1mm and the centre pin is negative (-VE). The adapter should be noise free, fully stabilised at 9V DC and capable of supplying 20mA. When multiple effects pedals are to be powered, we recommend the use of the Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus adapter as meeting the above criteria and cannot accept any liability for damage caused to this unit by the use of, or to, any other type of DC adaptor. If only a single unit is to be powered the BOSS PSA series may be more cost effective and is also recommended.

WARRANTY DETAILS:
This unit has been built using the finest available components and constructed to the highest standards but should any fault occur during the twelve months from date of purchase please return it post paid to the above address where under guarantee repairs of any original manufacturing fault will be carried out (normal wear, misuse, unauthorised modifications or accidental damage excepted). The warranty will be voided if the guarantee labels are damaged or removed. This warranty does not apply to customer’s own equipment, which has been connected to this unit.

    Foodville is excellent
    Color: Turquoise Green
    The Foodville frother is quiet, stylish, comfortable to hold, easy to clean and keeps a charge a long time. It has 3 speeds but is powerful even at low speed. I have it in turquoise and use it everyday to make oatmilk lattes. The battery failed after a couple months but when I reached out to Foodville, they shipped a replacement immediately and followed up to make sure I received it. I was so surprised with the excellent customer service that it was nearly disorienting - nothing at all like a maddening no-exit loop with a chatbot!!! I highly recommend this frother and the company behind it.

    It’s possessed
    Color: Coral Pink
    My kitchen theme is pink and this was a perfect addition! Until it wasn’t! Fully charged it, and placed it in its holder ready for use the next morning. From my living room I heard a noise but of course blamed it on Rita (my cat). The next morning I go to make my coffee and the device is knocked over on the counter and of course.. poor Rita! The device worked fine, didn’t send my coffee into a tornado like some do, rinsed and placed in holder. Relaxing and enjoying my morning coffee and all of a sudden this noise happens again and I see the device is on and actively spinning in the holder!!! What the energy? I run to turn it off but it stopped before I can get there. Ok, let’s not panic. Next morning? Device is dead. So I recharge, and lay it on the counter buttons up. Later that night minding my own business, the device is now rattling across the counter!!! Ran over to it, pushed the buttons and it won’t stop! After about 45 seconds it stopped. I recharge again because it died, and the sad thing is still asystolic.. (no pulse), dead, gone. What the??? So I don’t know what to tell you! It looks pretty! Updated: The company reached out to me and I received a replacement within 2-3 weeks. The new one is not possessed or dancing across the counter. Good power, 3 speeds, 2 attachments (which I seem to use without the power - such as mixing spices). Thank you for standing behind your product in a volatile economic time.

    Best frother!
    Color: Ultra Violet, Color: Ultra Violet
    Amazing customer service! I purchased this frother earlier this year and started using it for my morning coffee. It was amazing and froth up my creamer in no time. All three settings have their own amount of power. So I was very impressed with the speed. The froth texture is heavenly. After using the frother it is very easy to rinse the piece you used. I just rinse it and place it back in its stand. I think it’s very well worth its money. Unfortunately after 4 months the machine would not charge properly so I reached out to the company and within 24 hours, they replied and sent me a replacement. I didn’t pay much attention to the fact it had a 2 yr warranty! So grateful! Thank you so much for your help!

    Powerful frother and g4ea
    Color: Vivid Red
    I love this frother, I bought one for myself and 2 others as gifts! It is super powerful, just the first speed is usually what I use for a cup of tea or coffee, the faster speeds work great for frother hot cocoa when I make a couple cups worth on the stove top. My frother attachment did crack at the top several months after purchase but the company immediately sent me a replacement piece which has been going strong for over a month now. Great handheld frother and company that stands by their products!

    First one failed quickly, warranty replacement working great
    Color: Turquoise Green
    Absolutely loved this for the two months it worked but it completely stopped working after only 2 months. Update: I couldn’t decide on stars. The company honored the warranty and sent me a replacement. So far it is working great and I love it like my first one. Hopefully it will last. If it also fails quickly I’ll update again and take off stars. If it lasts I’ll increase stars because I really do love this. It works far better than any other one I’ve owned, it’s a nice light weight, comfortable to hold, has strong power, holds a charge well, has three speed options, and has a stand. I’ve tried multiple frothers. This one is by far the best one yet with best design and features.
