Lark Tongue
( Bird Box - Special Edition )

amplike crunch / fuzz / distortion
+ endless sustain @ command

recorded in the room @ relatively low volume , played
through a clean vintage fender princeton / 12" blue bulldog
( gurus echosex2 - in the loop ) with a vintage tokai les paul .

the lark tongue controls :

1. volume ( spiral icon )
2. tone ( notes icon ) - highmids/treble blend
3. oscillation threshold ( arrows / flash )

dial in oscillation breakup on spot for birdy trill & twitter !!

4. key icon ( fuzzbase : fuzz / trebleboost / lead ) toggle
5. flame icon ( saturation - high / low / burn ) toggle

Footswitch ONE : ON / amplike distortion (true bypass)
Footswitch TWO : OSCIL / adds sustain & timbre

9V - 18 V Dc / tight or lush w/more headroom

discrete - 3 gain stage circuit ( no opamps , ics ) 0.8 solid core wire
3 x selected NOS Germanium Transistors - ltd. , silver solder , ptp.

extra output volume on top - easy control but also very versatile !!

i recommend a stabilized turoidal core power supply (no digital)
for best & noiseless performance - boss/ibnz/ehx industry standard -
100/200mA center neg. (ground) , 9-18 Volt Dc , just in case : the
machine is protected against DC peaks and leaks
and mismatched polarity .

endless sustain , indeed !
without the need for bows , compressors
and electric onboard sustainers

place it first in your fx-chain , before buffered pedals .
a good wha-wha before or after the Lark Tongue Birdbox
can be interesting . add modulation/delay/reverb ... enjoy :)
