Sidekick combines the most common time based effects and creative tools in a compact design , ideal for any fly-rig or small board setup. Starting with a fully analog, lush BBD chorus  for 3-dimensional sounds that can be also switched for less modulated delay time and extra feedback creating a flanger like effect. A sweet but sparky echo / delay with a maximum delay time of 700ms adds organic repeats to your tone while 3 algorithms of spacious reverb (exciter – taken from Splash mk3, plate and shimmer) create the perfect ambience.

Manual

Sidekick

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.

Crossfire Overdrive

Unobtanium wurde von 3 der mythischsten und begehrtesten Musikgeräte inspiriert und kombiniert deren ultraseltene Klangelemente.
Ein magischer Ton-Overdrive trifft auf zwei legendäre Verstärker. Wir haben die Schaltung des High Headroom OVERDRIVE mit der mystischen Mischung aus Clean und Overdrive originalgetreu nachgebaut.
mystischen Mischung aus cleanen und übersteuerten Sounds. Die RAW-Edition ist das erste Pedal seiner Art, das Germanium-Transistoren in der
Clipping-Sektion eines K-Style-Schaltkreises, der höhere Verstärkung und natürlich komprimierte Töne erzeugt. Die RAW AMP-Sektion verwendet eine rein analoge Schaltung, um die kraftvolle Seite von zwei legendären Röhrenverstärkern einzufangen. Von fetten Clean-Sounds bis hin zu rauem, singendem Overdrive mit blühenden harmonischen Obertönen. Eine passive Effektschleife gibt dir die Möglichkeit, deine geliebten Pedale zwischen Overdrive und Amps in einer Box anzuschließen und so dein ideales Rig.

A magical tone overdrive meets two legendary amps. We have accurately recreated the circuit of the high headroom OVERDRIVE with the mystical blend of clean and overdriven tones. The RAW edition is the first pedal of its kind to feature germanium transistors in the clipping section of a K-style circuit producing higher gain, naturally compressed tones. RAW AMP section uses an all-analog circuit to
capture the powerful side of two legendary tube amplifiers. From big fat clean to raw singing overdrive with blooming harmonic overtones. A passive effects loop gives you the option to connect your beloved pedals between your overdrive and amps in a box, building your ideal rig.

Unobtainium RAW

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

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.
