The Gerhat Custom Multi Effect is a multi-effect pedal from Gerhat by Prosound, a maker whose gear sits outside the usual big-name pedal lines. As its name suggests, it combines several effects in a single unit: Pedal of the Day filed it under boost, compression and sustain, and overdrive and distortion, so it covers gain staging and dynamics shaping rather than time-based effects like delay or reverb1. For a player, that puts it in the same broad territory as dedicated boost pedals, compressor pedals and overdrive pedals, gathered into one box.
What it does
The pedal's effect categories tell you where it sits in a signal chain. A boost section pushes level into an amp or into the pedal's own gain stages, a compression and sustain section evens out dynamics and holds notes longer, and the overdrive and distortion side provides the dirt. How those stages are arranged, what controls the pedal carries, and how it is powered are details Pedal of the Day's review does not spell out in its listing, so treat the video itself as the place to see the unit worked1.
The Pedal of the Day review
Pedal of the Day published a video review of the Gerhat Custom Multi Effect on Monday, April 14, 2014. The review was submitted by Kyle, a viewer contributor to the site, rather than by the site's regular staff, and it was presented as one of the site's video reviews1.
"We've got another VIDEO review for you today"
The review frames the pedal as "a Custom Multi Effect" from Gerhat by Prosound1. Watching the video is the way to hear the pedal's boost, compression and drive sections demonstrated, since the written listing carries no sound descriptions of its own.
