An amp in a pedal
It's a fully featured amp and stompox all in one pedal. The Character Plus Mop Top Liverpool is an incredibly versatile unit in both tones and application. Through its intuitive control interface and dual channel setup you've got the full character and tone-shaping of a vintage amp, with the additional sonic spice of a classic boost effect. And importantly, both the amp channels and effects operate independent from each other, so you can activate the effect on its own, or the amp without the effect.
The "Boost" switch in the centre activates a strong boost effect, helping you stand above a mix with more present sonics, and also increasing the clarity of your top-end frequencies. Tech 21 have carefully balanced the amp and stompbox chemistry to produce sonics that'll sound good in any situation, so if you're after a tone that lies between retro British Invasion sounds and '70s style glam rock, then the Mop Top serves up the sounds you're looking for.
Built-in speaker / cab sim
Totally period accurate. You're not just getting precisely modelled tones from vintage British circuits, but you're also treated to meticulous recreations of speakers and cabs of the day to get a true-to-life tone. This huge amount of audio legwork results in sublime sonics when you're recording to a DI or playing through a PA, as your sound will be full, warm, and authentic.
Tonnes of use cases - anywhere in the world!
Use it as a standard effect pedal, a preamp for a power amp, to record to a DI or to connect to a venue's PA system - it's up to you! Not only are you afforded tonnes of flexibility in how to use the Mop Top Liverpool, but you can easily change its power feed thanks to an auto-switching supply with interchangeable plugs. So, if you're a musician on the move, it doesn't come much more convenient than this!
