The DevTech Audio ‘Skylight’ was designed to sound like an overdriven vintage valve amp. Producing tones from a light overdrive, to a great crunchy rhythm and a nice thick blues type lead. The pedal retains all the tone of your guitar, throughout the entire gain range.
Not based on most of the popular overdrive circuits currently flooding the market, the ‘Skylight’ offers something a little different. Comparatively, the ‘Skylight’ sits closer in design to the Pete Cornish SS-3 style of sound.
The ‘Skylight’ includes Treble and Bass controls to tailor EQ, and Volume and Gain controls to control the output volume and level of overdrive desired. The SI/GE toggle switch selects between silicon (Onsemi 1N914) and germanium (Rare NOS Mullard OC10 – Military spec CV7049) clipping diodes offering different tonal characteristics. Silicon will provide more volume and a cleaner output, whereas germanium will provide less volume (use the Volume control to compensate) with warmer harmonics and more overdrive.
Inside the enclosure is a 2 position gain profile DIP switch which can select between a single coil (SC) and Humbucker (HB) options. These modes are purely a slight gain increase for the SC setting, and a slight decrease for HB setting. This can help with the difference between high and low output pickups, allowing you to decide which sounds best for your own guitar. The ‘Skylight’ comes standard in SC mode.
Controls;
VOLUME – Works as a master volume control
TREBLE – Provides an attenuation of -14dB at 6KHz when set fully Counter Clockwise. Set fully Clockwise it provides a +6dB Boost to the Harmonic Content of the signal.
BASS – Provides an attenuation of -20dB at 60 Hz when set fully Counter Clockwise.
GAIN – Adjusts the amount of overdrive
FOOTSWITCH – Toggles between effect mode and true bypass
The ‘Skylight’ can run from an external 9V, 12V, or 18V power source. The power adapter must have a 2.1mm barrel connector with centre negative plug. There is no room inside the enclosure for an internal 9V battery.
Like all DevTech Audio pedals, there is 2 years warranty.
“A THREATENED SPECIES”
Unfortunately, germanium diodes have been out of production for decades now. That means that once we deplete the stock of Mullard diodes that we have, the ‘Skylight’ will no longer be made.
