Description:

Starting with the concepts born in the Blossom Point and the SurfyTrem, we have now developed something even more special, an incredible character preamp pedal with a sophisticated Brownface amp emulator, complete with an efficient headphone preamp and a direct-recording unit!

The Blossom Point is already a top choice for any musician looking for the sound quality of a Brownface Fender® amplifier (1960-1963), featuring an incredibly fat and warm sound without getting into distortion. The idea of the Blossom Point specifically came to us from the Presence knob on the original Fender® Showman® amplifiers, so why not push it even further and make the entire 6G14® available AND affordable to all with a Showman® amp emulation? In no time, the SurfyMan project was set in motion.

The SurfyMan is a truly unique product: it not only replicates the sound of a Brownface amplifier with its typical fat tone and the PRESENCE control, but it also features the true tone-stack and the exact same circuitry of a Showman®, where every change of the input VOLUME (gain), TREBLE and BASS controls create an unlimited amount of sound possibilities. The SurfyMan actually transforms your sound: it gives you fatness, but also sustain, brightness, power, it clarifies your tone and can even make it more aggressive, if that's what you're after. It's just magic, whether you plug it into your amp (OUT) or to a mixing console, PA or headphone, either using unbalanced or balanced 1/4" jacks!

In the chain, as you find in a Showman® amp, you have the tremolo, with our typical SurfyTrem brownface/blackface selection, and the master VOLUME to correct the overall sound, since the pedal is TRUE BYPASS. The SurfyMan's power requirements are 9-18V at any polarity. The SurfyMan also has style, it's all metal chassis and real OXBLOOD grill cloth set it off in class!

If you are traveling musician with little carry-on possibilities, a SurfyMan and a SurfyBear Compact reverb unit is really all you need: you can plug in everywhere, in any stage situation and to any amp configuration, always getting that perfect Brown Showman® sound.
