NPD: Broughton Azure Drive!

That's probably the best course. Having it on the outside could always turn into a case of having too many options.

I would love it on the outside. No doubt

The Azure Drive has been growing on me... particularly in a live band setting. I have the internal trim dialed back to about 30% and crank the gain to about 1:00-2:00 for my sweet spot.

Is the internal trim the same as the nature control on the original Blueberry?

No, it's different. The trimmer changes the amount of AC feedback, which changes the amount of gain and treble available at the clipping stage. It can be warm and mellow to bright and aggressive.

The trimmer was an idea I had after I already developed the PCBs, so there's no room for a pot on the outside on the regular version.

Does this mean there is an irregular version that does have it external?

Currently, no, but it's possible

I gotta tell you though that I wouldn't wait on it. I don't touch it and it's dimed. I don't think it's an essential thing.

I really really really dig mine at practice last night.

No plans as of now but you can always PM if you have something specific in mind.

And even "bright and aggressive" is still in "Blueberry land". So it's still super warm and killer with great bass. I have a passive setup and my dirt loop is buffer busted, so a stock Blueberry just can't get quite aggressive enough. With the sensitivity mod, the Azure Drive can get to exactly where I want with the drive at noon.

Does Broughton Audio have a website or facebook page? Also I could have sworn I saw pic of a azure drive v2, did they come out with one?

No website or Facebook as far as I know, but there is a V2 which moves the internal trim pot to the outside.

Sounds awesome too!
