Barber Electronics B-Custom Cool:
B-Custom brings about a few
"new things." First we have the new Barber Custom shop brand name
"B-Custom," and this signifies products built within the Barber custom
shop by Ronni Santmyer. The B-Custom products are smaller runs or even
"one off" highly customized audio devices built to accommodate players'
requests for nuance after nuance, and detail after detail of highly
sought after features, sound, and build quality. B-Custom carries on
the Barber commitment to deliver stellar audio at very musician
friendly prices, and delivery times that have you playing their devices
on stage, in the studio, or at home, instead of dreaming endlessly
about their eventual arrival.
The Custom Cool is the first true B-Custom product and has some new
B-Custom features such as: EQ switching- This allows you to have two
totally different EQ curves, using only one tone control by simply
employing a push/pull switch, Barber calls these "SR EQ" and "Snarl
EQ," the first being quite flat response to preserve your
guitar’s beautiful tone that you so carefully selected, and
the second having a wicked fat midrange of sweet barbed wire with loads
of fundamentals, without the silly "hump" sound.
Smooth/Crunchy- Yep, just like peanut butter you can have smooth or
crunchy sounds with the Custom Cool. This again uses the push/pull
method of switching between the well known Barber style smooth tone or
a new dynamic/raunchy no holds barred rude presentation, all this in a
sophisticatedly tuned, low gain architecture to please the classic tone
connoisseur.
Internal Trims- These are Barber's familiar, easy to use, internal
controls that players can use to dial the Custom Cool into their own
personal gear, they include- Note Shape, Bass, Midrange, and Presence.
The Custom Cool project started when Monster Mike Welch came to Barber
in search of an overdrive to help with rental back-line gigs, where he
needed a reliable sounding amp-style overdrive pedal, to emulate the
sound he gets from his cranked smaller amps he uses for club dates.
After sending pedals back and forth and lots of discussion, the first
proto of the Custom Cool was born. Barber has added EQ switching and
the smooth/crunchy switching since Mike’s early prototype,
but the sound they brought together for him is well retained with a few
other tweaks added to give ultimate flexibility.
