Information

Essential Information About the Thorn Soundlabs Bad Cash Pedal
• Ultra versatile overdrive: from warm blues crunch to a more powerful rock distortion, with an impressive range of settings.
• Very precise sound shaping thanks to the 3-band EQ (Bass, Mid, Treble) and Presence control to highlight attack and definition.
• Two character switches (Symmetry I/O and Class AB/A) to change the response, texture, and feel under the fingers.
• True bypass hardwire: preserves the signal when the effect is off, ideal for demanding pedalboards.

A modern overdrive designed as a "Swiss Army knife" of drive

The Bad Cash positions itself as a highly flexible drive pedal, designed to cover several "families" of saturation rather than replicating a single vintage circuit identically. Its approach is based on a combination of advanced controls (notably Damping and Headroom) and voicing switches, allowing you to go from a smooth and organic overdrive to a denser and more aggressive saturation, while maintaining true control over the frequency balance.

Who it's for and the styles where the Bad Cash excels

This pedal is aimed at guitarists who like to fine-tune their sound: intermediate to advanced players, fans of blues, classic rock, modern rock, pop, indie, hard rock, or any context where a precise and articulate drive is desired. In the studio, it helps to fit a guitar into the mix thanks to adjustable mids and Presence. Live, its settings allow quick adaptation to a backline amp, a different cab, or an already crowded pedalboard.

It is also advertised as perfect for pairing with other pedals or virtually any amplifier, especially tube amps: you can use it as the main drive, as a boost/EQ before another saturation, or as a "thickener" after a lighter overdrive.

Questions frequently asked

What power supply should be used with the Thorn Soundlabs Bad Cash Flexible Drive?

The required power supply ranges from 9 to 18 V DC, via a 5.5 x 2.1 mm barrel connector with center negative polarity. The current draw is 18 mA, and no voltage higher than 18 V DC should be connected.

Does the Damping control tighten the bass frequencies?

The Damping adjustment controls the amount of low frequencies sent to the distortion stage. It allows for either a tighter low end or a thicker response depending on the guitar and tuning.

What equalization controls are available?

Bass, Mid, and Treble equalization is complemented by a Presence control. The mids and presence adjust the guitar's place in the mix, while the presence affects brightness and attack.

Can it be used with a tube amp and other pedals?

This pedal is designed to work with virtually any amplifier, especially tube models. It can be used as the main drive, a boost/EQ before another distortion, or a thickener after a mild overdrive. Its input is a 6.35 mm TS mono jack with an impedance of 470 kOhms.

What are the Symmetry and Class AB/A switches for?

The Symmetry I/O switches change the distortion character between a smoother or more biting texture. The Class AB/A selector provides access to two distinct tonal and dynamic responses.
