FROM THE BUILDER’S MIND BUFFALO FX CARRERA The inspiration for the Carrera came from the Klon, I wanted to create that slight mid push with a warm but pronounced top end that you get from a Centaur on low gain settings, that subtle shove at the right frequencies that makes everything sound better and more alive, not to lose the amps original tone, just make it a little better but I wanted a different drive character when pushed harder, more linear, more natural. Also I didn’t have a true low gain overdrive available so it was conceived to fill a gap in the product line up. The TDX will do low gain but it’s a completely different feel, I was looking for that “amp but more” feel where you can’t tell there’s a pedal on or if the amps is working harder. 32 FROM THE BUILDER’S MIND // Buffalo FX Carrera
