Taking
overall sonic direction from the Mesa Heartbreaker, the FORMULA's
Rhythm channel is undeniably black face,
clipping sweetly when pushed. It also incorporates a pull
Boost on the Gain control for heavier sounds. Lead 1 starts
out purring - very capable of furry chording, and continues
on up to a violin-inspired, liquid gain voice. Lead
2 shares the rotary tone controls with Lead 1 and allows you
to auto-insert the 5 Band Graphic EQ. The independent Gain/Master
harness allows the tighter, more urgent nature of Lead 2 to
be fully maximized while roaming between the stinging, low
gain bluesy region and a blistering high gain frontier.
What really
sets the FORMULA apart from other pre-amps before it is not
the amazing tone and versatility for live applications, but
rather that it was - from the inception - a recording pre-amp.
The development of a new type of recording circuit that responds
in frequency to dynamic fluctuations in the same way a power
amp and speaker do, caused the emphasis to be shifted early
on in development toward the studio. The uncanny ability to
recreate not only the sound of a great power section and cab,
but also more importantly the feel of a great rig - makes
the FORMULA a must-have "bolt-in" for any control room.
This Wide-Track recording circuitry aboard the FORMULA makes
recording direct guitar truly fun again through convenience
and inspiration
