GRIM3D(eluxe) was created with the goal of bringing all of GRIM3 controls external. After achieving that, I've add a couple more options internally and included Spectral Gate as an integral 2CM (Cable Method) or 4CM noise gate with it's own independent switching.

This is my take on the ST9+ Pro but with modified Mid Enhance (BITE) that now can be bypassed for a more traditional screamer circuit with the added toggle. 

The blackmer VCA noise gate is keyed off of the input of the pedal and gates on the output. Using the gate loop will allow you to gate after your other pedals or in the FX Loop of your amp for additional options for noise control. 

1590BBS enclosure, powder coated, UV printed, aluminum knobs and softswitch relay bypass. The softswitch system has been added to give you the ability to engage the effect as normal, or press and hold for a momentary on (or off) functionality. Unlike so many other softswitch systems, this one will remember the last state selected on power up.

CONTROLS

Name Location Description
Impedance Internal (trim) The variable impedance buffer is set to 1M by default and won't matter for players using active pickups or buffered pedals in front. There is a significant impact for single coil pickups. Decreasing impedance and loading the down the pickups will attenuate the top end and smooth out the high-end grit. Pushing the impedance (default) the top end and pickup attack are more defined.
Default: 1M
Level External More on tap than the stock 808. This is your standard volume attenuator that allows you to set from unity or below unity, or crank it up for a boosted signal.
Tight External Pre-gain high pass to tighten up the low end.
Bright External Smooth out the high end of the gain output.
Default: 9/10, Almost fully CW.
Low External Cut/boost the bass frequencies.
High External Cut/boost the high frequencies.
Blend External Mix between 100% buffered dry signal and 100% wet signal
Full CCW for buffered dry.
Clean Boost Internal (trim) Adjust from unity buffer to clean boost on the 100% dry side of the Blend.
Default: 3/4 CW
Mid Internal (trim) Adjust the amount of mid hump. This is the classic Tone control and it alters the tone before going into the 2 band EQ.
Default: 8/10 CW
Bite External The mid boost control contours the frequency peak from low mids (counterclockwise) to high mids (clockwise).
Start at noon.
Gain External More on tap than the stock 808. This works in conjunction with the toggle switch.
Clip External Allows for symmetrical LED (high gain punch, compressed)[on,off], Diode Lift / None (clean boost) [off,off] or asymmetrical silicon (dynamic) [off,on] clipping options
Default: Up: LED, Center: Diode Lift Down: Silicon
Bypass LED Brightness Internal Adjust overall brightness of front LED.
Default setting at minimum (full CCW).
Gate External Controls the gate sensitivity threshold.
Shift Internal Controls the range of the Gate control.
GND LIFT Internal Ground lift for the KEY input circuit.
POWER

9VDC - CENTER NEGATIVE

This product has internal circuitry to boost your 9v signal to bipolar 15v for 30v total of headroom.
