Description
The Silversmith houses two independent analog circuits — a high-gain distortion and a footswitchable boost — under one hood, giving pedalboard builders a compact way to cover saturated crunch and transparent lift without stacking separate units. The distortion side runs on gain, volume, and a highly reactive tone knob, so you can push from mild grind into thick, fully saturated territory. A Contour control with a frequency-select switch lets you scoop or push critical midrange, choosing between two active EQ points, while Egnater’s Tight switch trims low-end flab with a -6dB/octave roll-off at 110Hz.
The boost section is built for flexibility: dial in a squeaky-clean level boost, or use the Drive knob to taper in extra grit and the Color control to shape brightness. Its own Tight switch keeps low frequencies in check when needed.
What sets the Silversmith apart is the rear-panel Patch switch, which lets you choose whether the distortion or boost comes first in the signal chain — O>B stacks overdrive into a boost for a straightforward volume/solo jump, while B>O pushes the boost into the distortion for extra foot-switchable drive and compression. Separate patch jacks even let you split the two effects into standalone pedals if your board calls for it.
- Contour knob with switchable frequency select (400Hz or 1kHz active EQ)
- Boost Drive control for adjustable grit level
- Patch switch to reorder distortion and boost in your chain
- Rear patch jacks to separate boost and distortion into two pedals
- Low-battery LED with increasing flash rate as voltage drops
- Sealed relay true-bypass switching with automatic bypass on weak battery
Whether you need a saturated lead tone, a clean volume jump, or a foot-switchable drive boost ahead of your amp, the Silversmith’s dual-section design and reroutable signal path make it a flexible centerpiece for any board.
