Blend/Crossover pedals

The Dirtfixer can reshape the tone of fuzzes and distortions, add weight to modulation and delay effects, and even function as a powerful preamp in a pinch. Dirtfixer can refine generic distortion boxes into monster walls of sound with no loss of low end. It can turn a thin midrange heavy “transparent” overdrive into a djent machine if you want. No longer are pedals divided between guitars and bass. Use what you want. We won’t judge since the Dirtfixer turns every pedal into a bass pedal

Der EHX TriParallel Mixer ist ein leistungsstarker Hub für die Erstellung und Mischung von Effekten mit drei separaten Effektschleifen und flexiblen Bedienelementen für vielfältige Konfigurationen.

Der TriParallel Mixer ist angesichts seines Funktionsumfangs überraschend kompakt und dank seiner intuitiven Bedienelemente und Ein-/Ausgänge einfach zu bedienen.

Verwenden Sie ihn, um zwischen bis zu drei separaten Effektschleifen zu wechseln oder sie zu mischen. Senden Sie den Ausgang einer Gitarre oder eines anderen Instruments an drei separate Verstärker oder geben Sie drei separate Instrumente ein, um zwischen ihnen zu wechseln oder sie auf einen einzigen Ausgang zu mischen. Mischen Sie Effekte parallel, um Klänge zu erzeugen und Optionen zu nutzen, die bei der seriellen Verwendung von Effekten (nacheinander) nicht möglich sind.

The EHX TriParallel Mixer is a powerful effects creation and mixing hub with three separate FX loops and flexible controls allow for multiple configurations.

The Tri Parallel Mixer is surprisingly compact considering the level of functionality it provides, while its intuitive controls and I/O make it easy to operate.

Use it to switch between or mix up to three separate effects loops. Send a guitar or other instrument out to three separate amplifiers, or input three separate instruments to switch between or mix to a single output. Mix effects in parallel to create sounds and allow for options not possible when using effects in series (one after another).

This means that you can apply separate effects to the high and low frequency portions of your signal, or even send them to two different amps.

Whether you want to restrict a particular effect to just one part of the frequency spectrum – fuzz on just the lows, for example, or reverb on just the highs – or combine different effects on the two bands at the same time, the XO opens up a whole host of creative possibilities.

 And for bass guitar, the ability to apply effects to the mid and high frequencies while leaving the lows untouched effectively means that no guitar pedal is off-limits.

Jeder kennt die Frustration, die ein durch viele hintereinander verschaltete Effektpedale verfälschtes Signal hervorruft. Pro Audio Mixer haben AUX send/return Funktionen standardisiert um dieses Problem zu lösen. Dies bewahrt die Integrität und Dynamik des Gitarrensignals, da der Effekt mit dem unbearbeiteten Signal "gefüttert" wird.

Der X-Blender verwendet diese professionelle Audio Techologie um die klanglichen Unzulänglichkeiten auszugleichen, die manche Effekte produzieren und ist auf vollständige Transparenz ausgelegt.


It's frustrating to hear the signal deterioration when playing through a chain of effects. Because of the narrow dynamic range and multiple filtering, these effects greatly disturb the directness and trueness of the guitar signal. Pro-audio mixers standardized Aux send/return function to help solve this problem. This preserved the integrity of the guitar'ssignal and dynamics by feeding the effect with the unaffected signal. The X-Blender incorporates pro-audio engineering technology to solve the sonic imperfection some effects produce and was designed to be completely transparent.

Der One Control Mosquito Blender Trail ist Teil der Minimal Series, die viele praktische Tools und Gadgets für moderne Pedalboards bietet. Der Mosquito Blender erweitert jedes Effektpedal oder jeden FX Loop um eine Wet/Dry-Regelmöglichkeit. Die Wet- (Effekt) und Dry- (Original) Signale lassen sich individuell regeln, um den gewünschten Sound präzise einzustellen. Durch Aktivieren des Trail-Schalters kann das Signal vom Return-Eingang weiter gemischt werden wenn der Mosquito Blender in den Bypass geschaltet wurde, sodass Effekte wie Hall und Delay auf natürliche Weise ausklingen können. Der Blender verfügt außerdem über einen Phase-Schalter, mit dem sich die Phase des Loops drehen lässt, sodass phasenverschobene Sounds entweder vermeiden oder absichtlich erzeugt werden können. Der Mosquito Blender Trail ist mit der legendären BJF Buffer-Schaltung ausgestattet, die ein- und ausgeschaltet werden kann.

The One Control Mosquito Blender Trail is part of the Minimal Series, which offers many useful tools and gadgets for modern pedalboards. The Mosquito Blender adds a wet/dry control to any effects pedal or loop. You get individual control over Wet (effect) and Dry (original) signals for a precise adjustment of your tone. Activating the Trail switch will give you the option to mix the signal from the Return input when the Mosquito Blender was bypassed, so effects like reverb and delay can trail off naturally. The Blender also features a Phase switch, which allows you to invert the phase of the loop, so either you can avoid out-of-phase sounds or you can intentionally create them. The Mosquito Blender Trail comes with the legendary BJF Buffer circuit that can be turned on and off.

In-DepThe heart of the pedal is still the same essential filter sections, which splits your signal into different loops with HIGH PASS and LOW PASS paths both filters have a 12 dB/oct. roll-off with a variable cut-off frequency from 20 Hz to 3 kHz). The rest of the vital tonal organs have had a thorough upgrade, which has resulted in an improved noise floor too. So, let’s dive into everything that makes this pedal DELUXE.


Since the original TYLER was also used as an advanced AB/Y box by many, it was found that ground loops could occur - no more with TYLER DELUXE! Both SENDs are now transformer coupled (with TRIAD Magnetics) to give you a nice and warm saturation, while avoiding ground-loops (internal slide-switched ground-lift). To be prepared for almost every situation and every pedal, both loops also got their own phase inversion switch (+/-) to get rid of potential unwanted phase cancelation.


The next new must-have feature is there to ensure the transparency of your setup and because we know it's important to you and to us, we added the good old CLEAN blend.

So far so good, but the deluxe delights don’t stop here! A master phase-switch ensures a fixed and reliable interaction with your set filter-frequency in every situation, no matter if you either have a loop engaged or not. But wait, for all of you who wants to follow TYLER's evolution, we added another claimed feature. The LP-CUT and HP-CUT switches will now mute your loops when bypassed, which will give you tons of new options to be creative, by only using the engaged loops without having clean artefacts pass through when disengaging one of the loops.

Modern times brings modern needs, so TYLER DELUXE is now equipped with relay-based soft-switches, an internal step-up to increase the headroom for hotter input signals and low-noise op-amps to improve the overall sound-quality and usability.

Some examples of use: Bass players want to retain their low end while using their favourite fuzz or dirt pedal. Insert your dirt box in the highpass FX-Loop and adjust the cut-off frequency of the High and Low Pass to your needs. Dial in your preferred ratio of those Low and High Pass signals, engage the STEEL footswitch and you will never turn off TYLER again! You can also insert different modulation pedals, for example insert a lush phaser for the lows and a nice shimmering delay for the highs and TYLER will make it sound like two different guitars are playing at once. Mix up your modulation pedals with any dirt pedals, for a very pronounced and punchy sound all coming from one amp.  If there ever was a Swiss army knife for your tone, then TYLER DELUXE must surely be it. So, fire up your frequency saw and start defining your own unique sonic path.

Resyn Thesis

Signal Blender is a parallel routing solution focused on blending sounds side by side rather than running them into each other. With two send/returns and independent switching over each send/return and the main clean signal, Signal Blender can be used as a parallel effect blender, 3-to-1 mixer, 1-to-3 splitter, active ABY, volume level setter, and more.

Controls include:

CLN, A, and B to set volume of the Clean input and each Return

Independent on/off for Clean (main input) and each Send/Return

Phase switch for each Send

True bypass from input to output when all sections are off

Soft-touch bypass footswitches for minimal switch noise

Portal ist ein aktiver Signalmischer mit zwei Betriebsarten: parallel und seriell. Im Parallelmodus verfügt der Signalmischer über zwei Send/Return-Schleifen und einen Hauptausgang, der drei unabhängige Eingänge zu einem zusammenfassen oder bei Bedarf als aktiver ABY verwendet werden kann. Im Serienmodus sind A und B serielle Kanäle. Wenn der A/B-Schalter geschlossen ist, wird Kanal A oder B überbrückt. Wenn alle drei Schalter geschlossen sind, handelt es sich um einen echten Bypass.

Portal is an active signal mixer with two working modes: parallel and series. In parallel mode, the signal mixer has two send/return loops and one main output, which can combine three independent inputs into one, or can be used as an active ABY as needed. In series mode, A and B are series channels. When the A/B switch is closed, channel A or B is bypassed. When all three switches are closed, it is true bypass.

Das Damnation Audio Bass Fuzz Enforcer ist ein High-Gain-Effektpedal, das speziell dafür entwickelt wurde, einen massiven „Wall-of-Sound“-Fuzz zu liefern und gleichzeitig die für den Bass essenzielle Definition im Tieftonbereich zu bewahren. Basierend auf einer klassischen vierstufigen Muff-Schaltung wurde es erheblich verfeinert, um den „matschigen“ oder „dünnen“ Klang zu vermeiden, der oft auftritt, wenn Standard-Gitarren-Fuzz-Pedale am Bass verwendet werden. Das Design nutzt eine spezifische Eingangs-Limitierung, um das Signal straff zu halten, sowie einen „Tilt“-EQ-Regler, der auf bassfreundliche Frequenzmitten abgestimmt ist. Ein herausragendes Merkmal ist der integrierte parallele Tiefpass-Clean-Blend, der es ermöglicht, das natürliche, unbeeinflusste Low-End für maximalen Punch und Klarheit beizumischen. Dieses Pedal stellt eine moderne, nützliche Weiterentwicklung klassischer gesättigter Texturen dar und liefert eine gnadenlose Verzerrung, die in einem dichten Bandmix artikuliert bleibt.

This is a classic 4-stage hand warmer fuzz design. We didn't aim to break any ground. We just wanted to make a thick punishing bass fuzz. When designing the amazing Pet Symmetry "BIG" fuzz we auditioned a lot of sounds and I squirreled a few away in my diary.

The recipe is simple. Limit bass on the way in. Expand it on the way out. Design a tilt-control that pivots on bass-friendly frequencies. Add a parallel low-passed clean blend. Not because you need extra lows but sometimes you want a reminder of what your clean sound used to be before it elevated into a square wave.

New for Winter 2019 (and beyond!!!)  The MBD-2 is the long awaited follow up to our successful MBD-1 MOSFET Bass Distortion.  The heart of the MBD-2 is the same bass loving distortion as the original but with a few enhancements customers have begged for (and up until recently we’ve looked down from our high horse and said, “No”).

Those enhancements include: a smaller enclosure (with top-jacks of course!!!), an external boost switch capable of adding 20dB of gain to transport the internal MOSFETs into valhala, silent bypass switching for quiet stages (what are those???), and of course a sexy new look.  This compact evolution of the MBD-1 can fit on smaller boards so you no longer have to decide between crushing bass distortion and your Altoids tin.

And as always you’ll…

Der Curmudgeon ist ein Solid State Power Amp (Lead Sled) Distortion, der das Eingangssignal mit 1000 multipliziert und in eine simulierte Endstufe schickt. Diese simulierte Endstufe verfügt über parallele Stufen, die gerade so weit heruntergemischt und belastet werden, dass sie kaum noch atmen können. So erhältst du mehrere Stufen von Solid-State-Verstärkerfärbung und Verzerrung. Ein einfacher Tone-Regler lässt gerade genug hohe Frequenzen einfließen, um sich in einem dichten Mix durchzusetzen (nicht, dass du nicht schon den dicksten Ton auf der Bühne hättest).

The Curmudgeon is a solid state power amp (lead sled) distortion that takes your incoming signal, multiplies it by 1000, and slams it into a simulated power amp. This simulated power amp features parallel stages that are mixed and loaded down just enough for them to struggle to breathe. This gives you multiple stages of solid state amp coloration and distortion. A simple tone control lets in just enough high frequency to help you cut-through in a dense mix (not that you won’t already have the thickest tone on stage).
