Description
A British-style Tonal Pairing
Tech 21’s SansAmp Character Plus series is inspired by music’s most iconic amp and effect pairings, all in a single stompbox! The Mop Top Liverpool perfectly captures the hot tones of the British Invasion and beyond, boasting an authentic emulation of the most beloved British tube amp of the early ’60s and a powerful treble boost to push your amp into a rich, smooth “Bohemian Rhapsody”-esque sustaining lead. This 2-channel wonder allows you to combine both effects or use them independently, offering plenty of versatility in how you shape out your sound. What’s more, the Mop Top Liverpool can also be used standalone to drive a power amp, through a PA, into a mixer, or just straight into your regular amp! Finally, this pedal sports built-in speaker emulation and powerful tone-shaping tools that give you all of the utility of a standard guitar amp, but in a highly portable form factor.
Classic British amp tones
The Mop Top Liverpool’s amplifier inspiration defined the sound of the 1960s British Invasion, boasting a sparkle and jangle that imbue your clean guitar tones with a lively attitude. However, as much as we love old-school British-style cleans at Sweetwater, what floored us was this amp’s attitude — the Mop Top Liverpool’s 100% true analog design more than delivers hot, crunchy tube-style tones, even without the help of the boost!
Built-in boost
Based on one of the most iconic effects of the ’60s, the Mop Top Liverpool’s boost section captures everything that made the original such a legend among the era’s most renowned guitarists. While this boost is ideal for achieving a rich, crunchy tone, it is, after all, a treble boost. As such, the enhanced high-end frequencies keep your tone clear and articulate, even when pushed into wild high-gain territory.
