Tube-Vibe

MSRP: $399.00 FAT PRICE: $399.00 AVAILABILITY: In Stock
ADDITIONAL INFO: For the true Uni-Vibe connoisseur looking for the ultimate in swamp!
Tube-Vibe Tube-Vibe Tube-Vibe Tube-Vibe

The Tube-Vibe is a no compromise, innovative & original re-design of the classic Uni-Vibe. The pre-amp, mixer and phase-shifters sections are built on triode tubes operating at real amp plate voltages and it has a powerful L.F.O. that makes it possible to sculpt thick, swampy vibe tones at higher modulation rates through to textural & spacious chorus effects at slower rates. The tone is outrageously cool - it's absolutely the lushest, most psychedelic sounding guitar pedal there is! One of those devices that epitomize analog with it's unique, slightly blurry, liquid phase-chorused tone, impossible to simulate.


Features

  • The Tube-Vibe uses vacuum tubes in the phase shifter section for the ultimate in audiophile performance. This ensures low backgound noise and stacks of headroom for wide dynamic range, transparency and hi-fidelity Vibe tones. The Tube-Vibe will integrate seamlessly with your guitar/amp rig to achieve a signature tone that is unsurpassed in detail, depth and richness.
  • High, one mega ohm input impedance ensures a wide open and clear tone - your guitar pickup is "seeing" a tube amp input stage. The input resistance of the Uni-Vibe is only 69Kohm which is low enough to load the output of a guitar and dull the sound or cause significant treble loss to single coil pickups.
  • The only vibe with a NCO (Numerically Controlled Oscillator)! Deeper and more powerful than the conventional LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) found on the Uni-Vibe and makes it possible to sculpt thick, swampy vibe tones at higher modulation rates through to dreamy, spacious chorus effects at slower rates.
  • Hyper-bright, daylight visible purple LED pulsates with modulation speed for visual song tempo matching.

Delta-Trem

MSRP: $399.00 FAT PRICE: $399.00 AVAILABILITY: In Stock
ADDITIONAL INFO: The most amp-like tremolo available.....period! Backordered once again......sheesh!
Delta-Trem Delta-Trem Delta-Trem Delta-Trem

If you are an enthusiast for tube amp tremolo then you're in for a real acoustic treat with the Delta-Trem. This pedal authentically recreates the alluring, hypnotic tone and feel of a vintage amp tremolo. This is accomplished by using a filament lamp and photocell assembly in conjunction with a vacuum tube signal path - twice for stereo! This gives an exceptionally warm and musical tremolo effect that blends well with clean and overdriven guitar sounds. The dual signal path allows the pedal to operate in mono tremolo mode into a single amp or stereo where the sound is ping-ponged between two amps for a huge, spacious tone.

Circuit operation is extremely quiet with none of the audible "ticking" often associated with tube amp tremolo. The Delta-Trem features a configurable low frequency oscillator that accurately reproduces the classic deep sine wave throb found on early Fender tube amps along with triangle, square, pulse, rising and falling sawtooth waveforms to recreate a "Leslie" rotating speaker swirl through to intense ‘machine-gun’ stutter effects. This pedal is designed to give players easy access to classic rock ‘n’ roll, blues and surf tremolo tones with outstanding warmth and hi-fidelity.


Features

  • 100% Tube Signal path Vacuum tubes and photo-resistors are utilized to create the tremolo effect. Custom photo-cells ensure absolute minimum harmonic distortion for an exceptionally pure tremolo tone.
  • Powerful Mixed-Wave Modulator Advanced L.F.O. technology allows continuous control of 32 waveforms! Standard mode reproduces smoothed triangle (linear) to sine and pseudo-square with all the wave variations between to recreate a range of authentic tube amp tremolo tones. The pedal can be further configured to produce variations of rising and falling sawtooth waves, for "Leslie style" acceleration effects. The Delta-Trem is unique in that all waveforms have rounded edges for a sweet and musical tremolo - very usable and quiet operation.
  • Twin L.F.O. Operation In standard mode the signal is ping-ponged between left and right outputs. The Delta-Trem can also be configured so that the "Depth" knob operates as an independent L.F.O. control. This creates some unique amplitude modulation effects as the channels drift in and out of phase.
  • Amber/orange LEDs pulsate with modulation speed for visual song tempo matching. The orange LED indicates the modulation rate for the second L.F.O.

Phase-O-Matic Deluxe

MSRP: $399.00 FAT PRICE: $399.00 AVAILABILITY: In Stock
ADDITIONAL INFO: Most versatile phase pedal on the market.
Phase-O-Matic Deluxe Phase-O-Matic Deluxe Phase-O-Matic Deluxe Phase-O-Matic Deluxe

The world's first photo-optical, vacuum tube phaser pedal has been re-engineered with an improved specification. The Phaseomatic Deluxe achieves delicious, lush phasing with amazing presence and clarity. On more subtle settings it adds life and movement to your sound that's so natural and un-processed you'll forget it's there - until you press the bypass switch. Moving on to the other extreme, this powerful tone machine capably produces deep "tunnel" phasing and intense jet plane whooshing textural effects that predominated music in the mid 70's. And finally, the Phaseomatic Deluxe truly excels in generating a host of cosmic & spacious sound effects heard on many B-rated 1950's sci-fi movie soundtracks.


Features

  • All Tube: This totally unique phaser pedal uses vacuum tubes and photo-resistors to create the phasing effect - Pure tube signal processing!
  • Powerful Mixed-Wave Modulator: Advanced L.F.O. technology allows that phase sweep to be driven with triangle (linear), sine, pseudo-square (vibe), rise, fall and stepped wave shapes in thirds, fourth, fifths, sixths and sevenths.
  • "Frozen Sweep" Capability: The L.F.O. is capable of super-slow 1/40Hz modulation rates to generate rich and complex comb filter effects. That's a sweep rate of 40 seconds! If this isn't slow enough then a constant output mode allows the comb notches to be "frozen" to create hollow sounding acoustic timbres.
  • V.C.O. Input For external control from a voltage source or EV-5 expression pedal for lots of phase modulation possibilities. Frozen notches can be moved up and down. This action can be used in conjunction with the internal L.F.O. of the Phaseomatic for articulate and beautiful sweep effects.
  • Aqua L.E.D.: Pulsates with modulation speed for visual song tempo matching.

Vibe-Chorus

MSRP: $399.00 FAT PRICE: $399.00 AVAILABILITY: On Order
ADDITIONAL INFO: Temorarily on backorder.
Vibe-Chorus Vibe-Chorus Vibe-Chorus Vibe-Chorus

The Vibra Chorus pedal was created to reproduce haunting and ethereal chorus voicings with a level purity that is unmatched by any other phaser, Uni-Vibe or vibrato pedal. The phase-shifting circuitry is optimised to operate on the frequency spectrum of electric guitar rather the organ, where the Uni-Vibe attempted to simulate a 'Leslie' rotating speaker system. The unique modulation characteristics of this effects pedal are musical and natural, where only the barest minimum of pitch de-tuning is introduced into the original signal. At slower modulation rates it produces wide, open and natural chorusing that adds another dimension to chord and rhythm playing and at faster rates it creates a light, watery and bubbly effect.

Features

  • All Tube: 100% pure analog vacuum tube audio path for maximum signal integrity and hi-fidelity sound reproduction.
  • Unique golden ratio of stagger-tuned phase-shift capacitors selected for electric guitar. There are no equivalent digital models that attempt to replicate this circuit topology.
  • Girlie Pink L.E.D.: Pulsates with modulation speed for visual song tempo matching.

Tube-Drive

MSRP: $399.00 FAT PRICE: $399.00 AVAILABILITY: On Order
ADDITIONAL INFO: All Tube, Class A preamp in a pedal. Backordered once again!
Tube-Drive Tube-Drive Tube-Drive Tube-Drive

Oh this thing is bad!!! truly remarkable, amp-like tones from a pedal. Subtle tone sweep to accentuate your amp's tone controls and a gain control that ranges from "more of my amp please" to searing lead tones. I love it!

The Tube Drive, pure class-A tube overdrive pedal featuring three triode vacuum tubes for a total of six gain stages. The drive knob simultaneously controls the gain of all cascaded stages so that they progressively clip allowing the Tube Drive to respond emphatically to your pick attack with a graceful breakup characteristic. At lower gain settings this pedal excels at producing authentic blues and mild break-up to add some "dirt" to playing while always sounding smooth and musical. Pushing the drive a little higher produces the classic 70's overdriven tube amp tone and at even higher gains the sound becomes rich in harmonic content without masking the the natural sound of your guitar and amplifier. The Tube Drive allows you to effortlessly climb the gain curve to create sustaining, super-saturated lead tones, inspire you and power your solos beyond escape velocity, through the stratocastersphere soaring into high energy orbit!

Features

  • All Tube gain circuitry: 100% analog, class-A, clipping circuitry based on three cascaded tubes. No silicon in the signal path - guaranteed. This topology gives the Tube Drive fine control over a wide range of gain characteristics from mild breakup to creamy saturation.
  • Bax-Stack "active" tube tone control: The Tube Drive is the only overdrive with an active tube tone control. The Bax-Stack is a real treble boost (and cut) circuit with zero insertion loss, unlike passive tone stacks which can only remove frequency content ("tone-sucking"). The tone range is optimized to work over important frequencies essential for mellow jazz tones to some serious crunch.
  • Low-end contour switch: Active low boost for a warmer, richer sound. Especially useful with single coil pickups to thicken the sound or when playing at low volumes to compensate for loudness.
  • Orange L.E.D.: Indicates when pedal is engaged.
