The Tsukuyomi is mid frequencies boost overdrive able to make your instrument much, much louder.
The Tsukuyomi drive pedal focuses on the classic middle frequencies to really bring your guitar tone or solo tone to the front by boosting the mids (880kHz - 1kHz), to give a stronger prescence in the band or mix while also still retaining clarity. An ideal pedal for any guitarist playing live of recording the Tsukuyomi mixes gorgeous clasic overdrive tones with a rich mids prescence for those classic stand out mid focused guitar tones.
The Tsukuyomi is a booster that starts at zero, so with gain at minimum and the extra mids stage out of the circuit you get something very close to the bypass sound. All that’s added is a sliver of extra sparkle, with maybe a hint of hi-fi scooping to the midrange.
That remains the case as you start cranking that single knob: it’s a broadly transparent boost, but with just enough edge to help shy pickups cut through. More importantly, there’s loads of gain to play with, and it works just as well pushing a clean tone into crunch as driving an already cooking one into screeching solo mode.
If you turn on the mids-boost switch it can be a supremely effective tone-sweetener. EQ-wise, it’s somewhere between a Tube Screamer and a Rangemaster, but what it actually sounds like is flipping from a ceramic speaker to a really nice alnico one. In combination with the sustain-enhancing effect of the clean boost, that makes it perfect for sweetly twangy mid-gain solos, especially with single coils.
If you feel your tone is flat, lifeless & lacks presence, or your guitar is defficult to hear clearly in the band, the Tsukuyomi just might be tonal fix your amp needs.
The Tsukuyomi features a 26dB, flat-ish, gain section in series with an optional 12dB of mids gain in the 880Hz-1KHz band.
