Dispatch Master Delay & Reverb

The smaller and more modern answer to our well loved limited run Ghost Disaster from 2010! The Dispatch Master is a digital delay and reverb unit with an all analog direct signal path and true bypass switching. It is capable of producing nearly 2 seconds of delay time with near-infinite repeats and a cavernous reverb. Both effects can be run separately or in unison. Even though it is a DSP based effect, the sound is warm and full. No sterile lifeless tones here! The delay signal is clear and strong with no after effects or signal degradation and the repeats decay into a nice ambient swell with no oscillation. The reverb is MASSIVE and is sure to please those who love our Ghost Echo but want more depth and less artifacts. The perfect "Black Hole Ambience Generator"!

• To use as a reverb only - Turn the time control all the way down and adjust the reverb and mix controls to taste. In this mode, the repeats control can be used to enhance the thickness, decay, depth and overall nature of the reverb. With the reverb control at it’s maximum setting,
  the repeats control will gradually overload the effect at higher settings.
• To use as a delay only - Turn the reverb control all the way down and adjust the time, repeats and mix controls to taste.
• To use both effects in unison - Adjust all controls to taste.

Controls

• Time: Controls the delay time, from 0ms to nearly 2000ms
• Repeats: Controls the regeneration of the delayed signal. Also acts as a enhancer for the reverb. In reverb mode this will control the thickness, decay, depth and overall nature of the reverb.
• Reverb: Controls the reverb mix
• Mix: Controls the over all level of the effected signal

Dimensions - 4.37" X 2.37" X 1.75" with knobs

Power - A standard 9 volt DC power supply with a negative center 2.1mm barrel, no battery option.

Disaster Transport Modulated Delay Machine

The Disaster Transport is an analog voiced digital delay with 625ms delay time, all analog dry signal path, true bypass and added modulation. It was designed as an anti-modern delay for those who appreciate a nice tape echo with all it’s peculiarities. It’s unique tone control doubles as a noise filter on longer delay settings and really helps the delay shine with a dirty signal. The mix control allows you to boost the effected signal to nearly 4x the original signal level and the modulation can go from subtle pitch shifting warble to ultra fast tremolo speeds while the LED visually shows the rate.

Controls

• Mix- Sets the output level of the effected signal. This should be treated as a gain control/ master volume for the delay line. Unity is around noon and everything above noon will boost the delayed signal louder than the original. This is a gain control so, like any pedal with a lot of gain, a hint of noise and distortion at max setting is completely normal.
• Tone- Most delay pedals are heavily filtered at the output to remove the clock noise and other unwanted hash that is common from extending the range of the delay time beyond the limit of the circuitry. This usually leaves the delay sounding dark, muddy and disappear when hitting it with dirt. The Disaster Transport has done away with a lot of the heavy filtering and replaced it with a tone control which allows the user to choose their desired sound and results in more natural tape-like repeats. The tone control is at it’s darkest fully counter clockwise and brightens as you turn it clockwise. A good rule of thumb is to leave the tone control between off (fully counter clockwise) and noon at longer delay times. This will remove all the common noise from hyper-extending the circuit.
• Time- From about 30ms fully counter clockwise to about 625ms fully clockwise.
• Repeats- Sets the regeneration of the delay line. From one single repeat fully counter clock- wise, subtle repeats around 9 O’clock, strong naturally decaying repeats at noon, near infinite repeats around 2 O’clock and full on self oscillation fully clockwise.
• Depth- Sets the depth of the modulation to the delay line. The modulation is true pitch-shifting vibrato, higher depth settings will give sea sick pitch bending, lower settings will yield a more natural chorus/leslie/tremolo setting depending on modulation rate and delay time. To achieve a more natural modulation, the depth should be reduced as the delay time is increased.
• Rate- Sets the speed of the modulation. Goes from painfully slow to way-to-fast allowing several different modulation styles to reveal themselves.
• Bypass- Turns the effect on/off.

Dimensions - 4.7" x 3.7" x 1.18"

Power -Any standard 9 volt DC power supply with a negative center 2.1mm barrel.

Disaster Transport Jr.

Ghost Echo Reverb

The Ghost Echo Reverb is designed to emulate a vintage reverb unit. It ‘s capable of providing a little atmosphere all the way through to vast depths. The attack control sets the delay of the initial pick attack on the wet signal only. When playing staccato this registers as a slap back type echo hitting the reverb but when playing fluid lines it adds a massive depth and "fattens" up the sound. The dwell control is a fine tune function that enhances the decay. At first it may seem like it's not there but back it off and you'll miss it. The depth controls the intensity of the reverb. An, yes, it is true bypass!

Controls

• Depth- Sets reverb intensity
• Dwell- Sets the decay
• Attack- Sets the delay of the pick attack on the wet signal

Dimensions - 4.7" x 3.7" x 1.75" with knobs

Power - Any standard 9 volt DC power supply with a negative center 2.1mm barrel. No battery option.

Grand Orbiter Phase Machine

4 stage OTA Based phaser ala the Ross Phaser and DOD 490 (Circuit is loosely based on both of these). Two LFO speeds that can go from painfully slow to ridiculously fast. Dry kill switch to get vibe/vibrato effect, depending on where the controls are set. Rate controls the speed of the LFO, extremely wide range in conjunction with the two mode switch. Depth controls the amount of phase shift mixed with the dry signal (not how the LFO shifts the filters) so you can get very subtle pseudo 2 stage through full on. Sweep controls the frequency range and resonance controls the regeneration which makes the effect more or less intense. The sweep and resonance have a large range and you can dial in classic subtle tones through over the top phasing.

Controls

• Depth- Controls the amount of phase effect mixed with dry signal. When
  "dry" switch is in the off position, this should remain at max.
• Rate- Controls the speed of the LFO
• Sweep- Controls the Frequency range
• Resonance- Controls the regeneration of the phasing.
• Rate 1+2- Changes the range of the speed control. 1 is slower, 2 is faster.
• Dry- Cuts the dry signal to create a vibe/vibrato effect depending on the setting of the other controls. Vibrato is created by turning the rrsonance down low.

Dimensions - 4.7" x 3.7" x 1.75" with knobs

Power - Any standard 9 volt DC power supply with a negative center 2.1mm barrel.

Sea Machine Super Chorus

The Sea Machine is a chorus pedal with ultimate control over parameters rarely, if ever, seen in a chorus before. A hybrid of digital and analog circuitry with a slightly extended delay time allows it to really stand out and shimmer. Subtle warble, classic Leslie, sea sick pitch bends, strangled aliens, stunted arpeggiations... there is something for everyone in the Sea Machine. Designed to work well following fuzz, distortion or overdrive without getting muddy, loss of volume or breaking up (the Sea Machine has excellent headroom at both 9 & 12 volts). When engaged, the transparent buffer leaves the all analog dry signal unaltered and crystal clear. It can be powered from 9-12v DC, higher voltage yields a more intense modulation, slightly longer delay time with more chime and dimension. The Sea Machine is true bypass and made by human hands with the highest quality parts in lovely Akron Ohio.

Controls

• Rate: Speed of the LFO. • Shape: From soft triangle through hard square wave.
• Dimension: Adds a slight slap-back at low levels, reverb-like ambiance at mid levels and an echo-resonance at max.
• Intensity: How much the LFO modulates the delay time
• Animate: How far the pitch shifted signal swings, lower levels equals a tighter and more focused shift à la traditional chorus. As you increase the control a more wild and animated pitch shift begins to emerge.
• Depth: How much modulated signal is blended in with the dry signal.

Dimensions - 4.7" x 3.7" x 2.25" with controls

Power - Any standard regulated 9-12 volt power supply with a negative center 2.1mm barrel. Do not run at higher voltages! Does not use batteries. Current draw is around 100ma.
 

Organizer Polyphonic Organ Emulation

The Organizer is a polyphonic organ emulator with controls for octave up, octave down, choir, direct signal, lag and tone. It uses a mix of analog and DSP circuitry with true by-pass switching. The organizer has a warm and very analog feel with a hint of Leslie warble that is unlike other modern octave shifters. It tracks all over the neck on both guitar and bass on both notes as well as chords. The unique choir control takes a blend of the octave up, octave down and direct signal to give you an additional octave up, +2 octaves up, octave down, +2 octaves down and direct feed with a roomy delay that is unbelievable!

Controls

• Octave up- Level control for the Octave Up
• Octave down - Level control for the Octave Down
• Choir - Takes a mix of the Octave Up and Octave Down settings and Regenerates it.
  The result is an additional two octaves up and two octaves down and a direct signal with a slight delay,
  This Feature creates an organ-like sound and feel
• Direct- Level control for the Analog Dry Signal
• Tone - Low Pass filter for the Wet Signal
• Lag - Delay control for the Wet Signal

Monarch Overdrive

The Monarch Overdrive is an all discrete, FET based dirt machine. It’s designed around the input stage of a vintage amp produced by a company that bears the same name as the color of the monarch (hint...). It’s been configured to produce higher gains that sound very natural and free of compression. The treble and bass controls function as frequency boosters, not the traditional roll off filters in most OD’s. They are located in the preamp section and have a large impact on the over all tone, nature and distortion characteristics of the pedal as well as your amp. It gives big bottom end with a snappy, bright top at all gain ranges with some careful tuning of the tone controls. If you are looking for an overdrive for big fat chords with excellent low end retention, this is it! And, yes, it's true bypass.

Handmade with sweet loving care in Akron Ohio.

Controls

• Treble- Boosts the Highs
• Bass- Boosts the Lows
• Gain- Controls the overdrive
• Level- Output

Dimensions - 4.37" X 2.37" X 1.75" with knobs

Power - Any regulated 9-18 volt DC power supply with a negative 2.1mm center barrel. Higher voltages will yield more headroom with a fatter and more focused tone and a wider gain range.

Hoof Fuzz

The Hoof is a no-fuss, easy to use device capable of sounds from warm, gritty overdrive to a huge sustaining fuzz. It's a germanium/silicon hybrid muff style fuzz (based on the old green russian muff) with massive amounts of volume on tap and smooth amp-like sustain. It has a tighter, cleaner sound than most muff's which makes it more cutting and discernible in a band setting. The shift control changes the frequency response of the tone control, mainly on the treble side (but takes out the mud on the bass side). Clockwise scoops the mids and counterclockwise enhances the mids. When the shift control is set dead center it has roughly the same frequency response as the original 3 knob hoof (almost flat).

Controls

• Fuzz
• Tone
• Level
• Shift (mids)

Dimensons - 4 5/8" x 2 1/2" x 2.25" with knobs

Power - 9v Battery or any standard 9 volt DC power supply with a negative center 2.1mm barrel.

Tone Reaper Fuzz

The Tone Reaper is a vintage style fuzz device based on the “3 knob” bender. It’s a silicon/germanium hybrid capable of producing a wide range of tones from every bender era with careful tweaking of the tone and fuzz controls. From thin and spitty to thick growling sustain, it’s all here.

Controls

• Tone- Treble to the left, Bass to the right
• Fuzz- Controls the sustain and nature
• Level- Controls the output

Dimensions - 4.37" X 2.37" X 1.75" with knobs

Power - 9v Battery or any standard 9 volt DC power supply with a negative center 2.1mm barrel.
