When used regularly, it can provide effective relief from these and other music- and instrumentation-related conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Intensive Care Audio pedals are built in London, England, using high-quality components and feature soft-touch, relay-based true bypass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eControls\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePREAMP\u003c\/strong\u003e – Sets the gain of the overdrive, ranging from sparkly, chiming clean tones to natural, tube-like edge-of-breakup, and on into grittier distortion territory. This control interacts interestingly with the CLIPPING control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVOLUME\u003c\/strong\u003e – Sets the overall output volume, including when BOOST is engaged.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTOP\u003c\/strong\u003e – A passive subtractive treble filter after the last gain stage, useful for taming high frequencies that may become more pronounced as gain increases or clipping settings are adjusted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBOTTOM\u003c\/strong\u003e – A subtractive bass filter after the last gain stage, which variably bypasses the output capacitor just before hitting the output transformer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLIPPING\u003c\/strong\u003e – Allows blending between two clipping options: LED clipping (fully clockwise) for softer, more transparent breakup, and a parallel MOSFET\/JFET arrangement (fully counter-clockwise) for harder, compressed, saturated clipping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBOOST\u003c\/strong\u003e – Controls the gain of the boost circuit, which drives the front-end of the overdrive circuit. Intended to push the front-end harder — increasing gain and compression, and acting as a boost for lead\/solo situations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eEnclosure Dimensions\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 92 mm \/ 3.6 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 122 mm \/ 4.8 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 47 mm to 27 mm \/ 1.9 in to 1.1 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 387g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Intensive Care Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53623920034119,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/1883\/8599\/files\/intensive-care-audio-life-support-side-front.jpg?v=1774965374","url":"https:\/\/staticdevices.com\/products\/ica-life-support","provider":"Static Devices","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
