6/6: Leqtiqueshop Only

Leqtique - "9/9" released in 2013 was a big change for both the Leqtique brand and for me as an effector builder. Moving away from the overdrive design based on MAR, MAT and TS, I completed my long-held ideal of a completely original discrete-based high-gain distortion (please see the interview on Leqtique.ch on 11/11). Looking back, I think it was a Gain Step. At that time, my passion was not just in the area of ​​circuits, but I also went as far as to discover the Depletion type MOSFET (D-MOSFET) and somehow realized its first practical use in an effector circuit by cutting into the element level. The 9/9 and its variations 9/9S and 10/10 are all multi-stage circuits with four DMOSFETs, and the low end setting in each stage determines the final texture of the distortion. By setting different constants for each stage, we were able to produce the 9/9's distinctive tight and sharp low end, but because the texture of the sound is deeply dependent on the Gain control, we found that to get the most out of the 9/9, we needed to set the Gain to after 12 o'clock.

The newly released "6/6" has a low-end setting that can produce optimal OD/DS sound up to mid-gain, which tends to make the low-end dull at ultra-high gain, and a more generally usable gain range, aiming to cover a wide range of musicality, such as Leqtique - Redemptionist (aka Red). Red inherits the elastic texture and smooth sustain texture from SND - Red, while 6/6 inherits the tight sharpness of 9/9 and the dynamic, three-dimensional sound from the DMOSFET discrete circuit.

In addition, the 9/9 family has a filter circuit with different constant settings for each tone control after the four distortion stages, but the 6/6 uses the 9/9 constant settings. This is exactly what we intended, and it is a unit that perfectly responds to the request, "If only we could use the 9/9 in the low gain range..." (The 6/6 is only available at Leqtique.ch.
