Sidekick Jr XT

For this new incarnation of Splash reverb we took all the algorithms of the multi-awarded mk3 version, the plate and shimmer algorithm from Sidekick and added 3 more exciting reverb algorithms, two modulated and one flanged freeze reverb algorithm. 

On top of that we added the extra flexibility of controlling decay and excite controls on all algorithms via an external expression pedal and / or the on-board footswitch thus creating the ultimate ambient tones.

The dry signal is still 100% all analog and we chose to do all the mixing and filtering of the wet signal also in the analog domain to get the best of both worlds.

HI POWER is our next endeavour in pedal + amp-in-a-box overdrives inspired by the sonic combination of two British tone machines that helped shape the sound of Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here Album.

Hi Power

Like a missile seeking its target, Heatseeker will give you the explosive sound of rock!

A classic wireless system meets three iconic tube amps!

From its inception / invention, in the mid-70s, this wireless system has been the secret recipe to major rock star guitar rigs.  The magic ingredient lies to its analog preamp / tone enhancer circuit that expands the dynamic response and harmonics of any signal that goes through it. By producing a modern recreation of this hidden gem, we have ensured enough percussive attack to spice up your tone. Besides boosting the signal, the preamp tightens up lower frequencies and slightly accentuates mid frequencies while the Dynamic Expansion circuit enhances the dynamic response and harmonics of the signal giving punch and attack to ensure that it will cut through the mix.

Heatseeker

The left side is voiced after the blackface amps that defined clean electric guitar sounds. All analog and following the circuit path to the exact detail we managed to include all the essential sonic ingredients. From the big bold lows, sparkly highs and slightly scooped mids, to the powerful sound of a solid state rectified 4x 6L6GC power amp or the sponginess of a tube rectified 2x 6L6GC power amp selectable through the headroom switch.

Match that to the green mid-hump overdrive we’ve all grown to love, upon its inception in the late 70s, found on the right side. We chose to accurately recreate the circuit of this classic overdrive but with the addition of some of the most common modifications the pedal has seen throughout the years of its mass production or boutique variations. A clipping toggle switch selects between symmetrical (original) or asymmetrical clipping for enhanced touch-sensitive drive characteristics while a gain toggle adds more gain and alters the low frequency response making it reminiscent of placing two of the same overdrive pedals in series. An internal switch offers additional headroom by providing 18V DC to the overdrive circuit.
