- Designed Closely with Ryan Adams
- Switch Between Single Coils and Humbuckers with Minimal Adjusting
- Pre-amp and EQ
From the mind of Ryan Adams comes a new guitar utility with more tricks up its sleeve than a 1980s supervillain. The DEFCON4 works as a preamp and EQ to meticulously craft your guitar's sound. Bring peace time to your tone and avoid tedious amp tweaking during a set by using the DEFCON4 to easily switch from single coil to humbucking instruments with a quick twist of the rotary knobs. When the Launch switch is engaged, go into DEFCON 1 and activate a searing boost for your guitar.
Use the Low (IV), Mid (III) and High Band (II) rotary knobs to cut and boost frequencies of your signal. The toggle switches will activate or bypass each frequency. When activated, the corresponding illuminated numbers will turn on. Flip the launch switch to go to “DEFCON 1” and activate a 10db MOSFET boost.
The concept came from how Ryan uses his setup live. He plays a Les Paul but when he switches to a lower output guitar like a Strat, he can’t easily get to his amps to adjust. Hence the idea for the Defcon4. He has it all set to where he wants and all he has to do it turn it on and he’s good to go for the next song.
