The Outlaw is the first dual pedal from Flattley pedals that combines the similarities of two of our pedals, The Ace tone booster and the Plexi overdrive. The boost section is a clean boost that also has a tone stack to allow it to be a bass boost, a treble boost or anywhere in between. The overdrive section is an FET based circuit that gives a simulation of the harmonic distortion that you would expect from a 12AX7 valve with a wide range between a sweet blues tone to a flat-out rock tone.
Each of the two halves of the pedal has its own bypass footswitch to allow the user to use boost or overdrive individually. However, the combination of these two pedal circuits is taken further by allowing the user to swap the order of the two with the flip of a single switch. This means the overdrive tone can be boosted (with additional tone shaping) in one mode, ideal for lifting level for soloing. Alternatively, the overdrive circuit can be driven by the booster which can push it into extreme compression/ distortion as the boost half of the pedal has its own tone stack that can be used to pre emphasise the signal to give a wider range of overdriven tones.
Toggle Switch: The toggle switch allows you to change the lead order of the two pedals. Toggle switch selected forward has the clean tone booster as the lead pedal, toggle switch selected to the rear has the plexi style overdrive as the lead pedal.
Plexi Drive Controls
Volume: Controls the overall output level.
Gain: Controls the amount of gain/overdrive
Tone: Controls the amount of treble/bass
Tone Booster Controls
Volume: Controls the output of the pedal from zero (use as a kill switch), unity gain is around midway and max gives quite a lift to the output. It’s second function is to act as a gain recovery stage for the tone control.
Tone: Midway the tone control is effectively flat and the setting you would use for a straight lift in volume. Either side of midway there is a sweet spot allowing tone to be a little dark (anticlockwise) or have a bit more sparkle (clockwise). Tone fully anticlockwise, the pedal works as a bass boost, fully clockwise it becomes a treble boost with the volume control being used as a gain compensation control as bass boost requires a reduce in overall gain and treble boost usually requires an increase in overall gain.

The red halo light rings installed diffuse the light when playing live, avoiding being blinded by standard LEDs just as you are about to go into that all important solo thus giving a larger area to see where the pedal is located easily on the pedal board on darkened stages. The addition of the aluminium foot topper gives you more real estate for contact when switching the pedal on and off during quick changes when playing live.
All Flattley “Platinum Range” pedals are hand processed in our Flattley paint shop. The bare aluminium enclosure is abraded prior to painting with the etch primer. The etch primer acts as a anti corrosive layer and allows the primer to bond to the enclosure ensuring a tough resilient paint finish.
Multiple coats of base coat primer are applied which are then lightly abraded to remove any blemishes or paint speckles prior to the application of the base colour. We apply several coats of base colour until an even coverage occurs and the base colour develops rich smooth depth. Metallic holographic chrome flake is then applied using a clear inter coat which adds that all important Flattley sparkle.
The pedal enclosure is now ready to be hydro dipped in its Flattley graphics. This is the process whereby the graphics are applied using water activated film, the residual PVA film is then washed off and the enclosure is then allowed to dry naturally.
Once dried the lacquer process begins. Each “Flattley Platinum” pedal has a minimum of three coats of lacquer which are all wet sanded between coats. Once the lacquer has hardened, it is then hand polished using three different grades of polishing compounds and it then has a final polish to achieve a high gloss finish using a wool finishing pad. This process gives the smooth deep lustre finish that is inherent in all Flattley Guitar and Bass effects pedals.
All our pedals are handmade, hand wired, boutique custom guitar and bass pedal effects manufactured in the UK using only the highest quality components ensuring every aspect of our pedal’s build process results in a truly outstanding product.
