Brimstone Audio Crossover XD-2The Crossover Distortion is an analog multi-band distortion effect with a variable crossover. There are actually four different circuits inside the pedal: two independent cascaded mosfet gain circuits, a continuously variable Linkwitz-Riley crossover, and a discreet output mixer. The variable crossover splits the input signal at the user-specified frequency, routing the high frequencies to one gain circuit, and the low frequencies to the other. The highs and lows can then be effected separately, with their own gain and uniquely designed tone controls. The mixer section recombines the signals prior to output, with ‘Mix’ and ‘Master’ controls to set the balance between the high and low bands and the output volume.This combination of circuits opens up a whole new realm of possibilities. You can finally create a high-gain tone that does not lose your picking dynamics, ensuring that you will always cut through the mix. You can simulate a multi-amplifier live setup, or a multi-track, layered studio sound. You can create a tone with cleaner highs and dirtier lows, and vise-versa. You can use it as a high pass or low-pass filter, making it an awesome studio tool (think wah-forward or dub bass tones). You can actually re-voice an amplifier, in a way completely unlike a regular 3 band EQ (it can do wonders for a smaller amp, or an amp with limited EQ controls). You will also be greatly reducing a nasty little thing called intermodulation distortion (oscillation between low and high frequencies), which normally prevents you from using complex chord voicings with distortion, limiting the chordal options for high gain players. A tone with reduced IMD has greater clarity, a stronger fundamental, less mud and white noise, and is less fatiguing on the ears.
