Description:

**Coast Sonic is an official Pete Cornish Dealer**

New for 2021 and in celebration of our 45th year designing and building professional stage equipment we are proud to present the GC-1™.

This is a completely new unique three stage design which features both hard and soft clipping stages with automatic switching between them as the gain increases, and also has a wider gain range than any of our previous pedals making it perfect for live performance and recording.


With the gain set to minimum (+20dB=10X) we are in the area of Soft Sustain as found on our SS-2 and SS-3 and the inclusion of a three band powerful active EQ has enhanced even the lowest gain settings giving a new bonus of tone and volume. A wonderfully Smooth and Transparent Blues Crunch is a feature at low gain settings and the powerful EQ is a huge part of the sound with even small changes giving maximum tonal flexibility to suit any amp. The GC-1 has amazing Bottom End Retention and is Refined and Warm sounding without getting”muddy”.

As the Active EQ is so powerful the GC-1 can be used with both single coil and hum-bucker equipped guitars with equal facility.

Increasing the gain takes us gradually through the area of our G-2 and P-2 gain structures which gives a higher level of overdrive for that classic cranked up Marshall sound found on most British rock records of the ‘70s.

There is some serious Rhythm and Lead Tone here which is Powerful but with great Clarity and again, the inclusion of the three band active EQ adds the flexibility of massive amounts of Bass, Mid or Treble Boost will suit any conditions or amp used. Equal amounts of Bass, Mid and Treble Cut are also available - the neutral position of the three tone controls is 12 o’clock.

The GC-1 features an “amazing clean up” using the guitar volume control.

At Maximum gain (+56dB=640X) and adding a large amount of Mid Boost the High Energy Sustain obtained is both Harmonically Rich, Smooth and Fat; almost infinite Sustain is possible with the right guitar/amp combination.
An output Master Volume is included to allow for perfect matching between bypassed and boosted/EQ’d signal level and there is plenty of output signal headroom available to overdrive amp inputs if required.

Our well established Class A input Buffer (LD-1) and radio frequency suppressor is, of course, included and the output buffer impedance is low; to easily drive long cables or other loads without loss of signal or tone.
The Buffer is also fully active in bypass mode to prevent losses associated with long cables and/or load impedances that would not the suitable to connect directly to a passive guitar pickup.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
Overall boost with Gain = 100% and Volume = 100% is +56 dB (640X)
Overall boost with Gain = 0% and Volume = 100% is +20dB (10X)
The above with Bass, Middle and Treble set to 50% = Neutral point = 0dB boost/cut). Bass Control range +/- 16dB @ 50Hz
Mid Control range +/- 15dB @ 950Hz
Treble Control range +/-17dB @ 4KHz
Maximum signal output with Volume 100% is +12dBm/ 3.1v rms/ 6.5v peak to peak.

FEATURES:
RFI rejecting input and bypass buffer.
Each unit is hand built, wired and tested by Pete, Lynda and Mingus Cornish.
Housed in a Rugged Die-cast box size 171X121X55mm with lined control knobs.
Heavy Duty Custom made all-metal footswitch plus Daylight Visible LED.
Easy battery replacement via a removable ‘drawer’. The battery is switched on when you insert the "IN/PWR ON" jack and to ensure long battery life unplug this lead when the unit is not in use. If the unit is not to be used for a long length of time, or to be adapter powered, we recommend that you remove the battery. Preferred battery type is MN1604. Also fitted is an input for a DC adapter: the size of the coax connector is 5.5/2.1mm and the centre pin is negative (-VE). The adapter should be noise free, fully stabilised at 9V DC and capable of supplying 20mA. When multiple effects pedals are to be powered, we recommend the use of the Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus adapter as meeting the above criteria and cannot accept any liability for damage caused to this unit by the use of, or to, any other type of DC adaptor. If only a single unit is to be powered the BOSS PSA series may be more cost effective and is also recommended.

WARRANTY DETAILS:
This unit has been built using the finest available components and constructed to the highest standards but should any fault occur during the twelve months from date of purchase please return it post paid to the above address where under guarantee repairs of any original manufacturing fault will be carried out (normal wear, misuse, unauthorised modifications or accidental damage excepted). The warranty will be voided if the guarantee labels are damaged or removed. This warranty does not apply to customer’s own equipment, which has been connected to this unit.

    Unlike anything I’ve read before
    Format: Paperback
    I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this, especially with the mention of Ina Quant, but it turned out to be a deeply fascinating mix of texts. The Three Jubilees were incredibly detailed and offered timelines and insights I’d never seen in any other scripture. Jasher was a standout—familiar stories but with so much more context. The modern English translation made it all feel accessible without losing the ancient feel. I’m glad the annotations were there too—they really helped make sense of the more complex parts.

    This filled in so many gaps
    Format: Paperback
    As someone who grew up reading the Bible, this book was a revelation. Jubilees and Jasher gave context and depth to stories I thought I already understood, and Enoch’s visions took everything to another level. I really appreciated how all five books were included in one volume—well-organized, easy to navigate, and supported with helpful notes. It’s a serious study tool, but also a compelling read.

    Felt like opening a long-lost vault
    Format: Paperback
    I had no idea what I was getting into when I picked this up. These writings are so different from the Bible I grew up with—more mystical, more cosmic, and honestly more human in some parts. The modern English translation helped a lot, because even with that, it takes time to digest. Jubilees really surprised me—it’s like reading Genesis with a behind-the-scenes commentary. And Enoch III? That one goes wild. This book isn’t casual reading, but if you’re spiritually curious or love ancient texts, it opens up a totally different lens on early beliefs.

    Gave me chills more than once
    Format: Paperback
    I didn’t expect to feel so pulled in, but there were parts of this book that made me stop reading and just sit there. The stories are strange, intense, and full of meaning I’m still trying to wrap my head around. Enoch 1 hit me the hardest—watchers, judgment, hidden knowledge—it all felt ancient and oddly urgent. Having the modern translation helped me connect with the words instead of struggling through them. The notes didn’t get in the way either—they actually made me want to dig deeper.
