Product Description

The Caroline Guitar Company Icarus has been rebooted and improved, introducing the Icarus V2.1! While the original Icarus was a simple boost, the V2.1 is a killer preamp, overdrive, and boost pedal that really packs a punch. With up to +12dB of clean boost, multiple gain stages, hybrid Russian germanium and silicon diode circuit, and switchable bypass, the Icarus V2.1 helps push your tone to the next level.

Preamp/Boost/Drive

The Icarus V2.1 takes the preamp from their Parabola and Météore pedals and improves upon it. The Icarus V2.1 features multiple gain stages, with a volume stage that provides up to +12dB of clean boost without adding any gain. Of course, you can turn up the gain, utilising the Russian germanium and silicon diode circuit to add some crunch to your tone. You can also control the highs and switch between buffered and true bypass.

With huge clean boost potential and light-to-medium gain overdrive, the Icarus V2.1 is great for using as an occasional boost and overdrive for punching up your tone, or as a core part of your sound as an always-on preamp pedal.

Controls

With a straight-forward three-knob format, the Icarus V2.1 helps you jump straight into shaping your sound. The Gain control adjusts the amount of boost on the input signal so you can go from purely your instrument’s signal through to some serious clipping for a more aggressive tone. The Output control lets you set the volume and can be used in conjunction with the Gain control for a variety of sounds. Set the Gain high and the Output low for a simple overdrive, or set the Gain to the lowest setting and the Output high to take advantage of the up to +12dB of clean boost - or any mix of the two! Throw in the Highs control to tweak the frequency content and you’re set!

There’s also a slide switch on the inside of the pedal which you can use to switch between true and buffered bypass. Switch to true to maintain your original signal when bypassed or use buffered to maintain a strong signal in long signal chains
