The Free The Tone "TRI AVATAR" is a next generation chorus pedal with four signal paths for three chorus sounds (three phases) and one dry signal. In stereo operation the first phase of chorus sound is assigned to the L side, the second phase to the L+R sides, and the third phase to the R side. In monaural operation all of the three phases are mixed together. By mixing three independent chorus sounds the TRI AVATAR adds more width and depth to its output and the result exceeds that which can be achieved by conventional stereo chorus pedals. Problems with usual chorus units such as unintentional pitch changes, sound images with blurred lower end, and noises relating to sweep timing have been solved by combining Free The Tone's analog and digital technologies and with its unique know-how. The result is our completely new chorus pedal that will amaze its users with the various incredible sounds that can be created by a single chorus pedal.

Neue Dimensionen in Raum und Zeit – Das RV-500 ist der leistungsstärkste und vielseitigste BOSS-Hallprozessor aller Zeiten. Das flexible Effektgerät basiert auf einer 32 Bit AD/DA-Wandlung mit 32 Bit Fließkommaberechnung und 96 kHz Samplingrate und bietet höchste Programmierbarkeit für die internen, professionellen Hallprogramme in Studioqualität.

Today’s stompbox market already caters for more adventurous reverb tastes with devices such as Eventide’s H9 and Black Hole, Strymon’s Big Sky, the Source Audio Ventris and the more affordable (but mono‑only) Electro‑Harmonix Oceans 11 — and that’s just scratching the surface! Boss might not be the first name to spring to mind if you were seeking a really esoteric reverb, but the new Boss RV‑500 not only bears comparison with its aforementioned rivals in terms of sound quality and effect variety, but it also offers a number of useful functions that most of its rivals can’t.

Das Boss DD-500, ein High End Delay des japanischen Effektgeräte-Herstellers, kann mit 12 Delay-Programmen, 32 Bit/96 kHz Signalverarbeitung, bis zu 297 Speicherplätzen und einem Looper aufwarten und ist mit dieser Ausstattung naturgemäß in einer etwas höheren Preisklasse angesiedelt. Allein diese Eckdaten sind einigermaßen imposant, aber die Marke Boss und der Mutterkonzern Roland haben bereits in der Vergangenheit – zum Beispiel mit dem DD-20, dem Space Echo oder dem Tera Echo – bewiesen, dass man durchaus auch in unterschiedlichen Preiskategorien in der Lage ist, uns Gitarristen mit amtlichen Delay-Sounds zu versorgen.

The Boss DD-500 is one of the few Boss pedals which are, because of their size, less pedalboard friendly. Therefor, it offers up to 10 seconds maximum delay time, tap tempo and tape emulation.
Other features of the stereo pedal that allows to choose a true bypass or a buffered processing, are modulation, expression pedal and midi input.
Furthermore, you can lead different delays (modulation models) on several channels and run the pedal serial as well as parallel.
All things considered, the 9V pedal with integrated looper provides an extremely extensive menu including tone shaping options.
Nevertheless, the Boss DD-500 which is still produced today is not really legendary and its sound is quite sterile. This is why this digital delay is a 3 of 10 on my cult factor scale.

Die Cioks DC7 Mehrfach-Stromversorgung für Effektpedale stellt im Vergleich zu anderen Geräten dieser Art jeder Menge Energie bereit. Und das in einem flachen Gehäuse, das sogar unter ein Pedaltrain Nano Board passt. Das stattliche Kraftwerk bietet laut Angaben des dänischen Herstellers bei 9 Volt massive 4620 mA Strom und wäre damit rein rechnerisch in der Lage, ca. 577 Tubescreamer-Pedale (!) in Betrieb zu halten.

If you use effects pedals, whether on stage or in the studio, running them from a high-quality power supply is essential to getting the best performance and lowest noise out of them. The best power supplies have regulated, electrically isolated outputs, and that gives the same electrical separation as when running the pedals from batteries — but without the obvious disadvantages! There are several excellent power supplies available that offer such features, but CIOKS have managed to come up with an incredibly compact solution, seemingly without compromising on quality or flexibility.

Say hello to the world’s most compact reorderable audio loop switcher.

A fully analog stereo loop switcher designed to break boundaries. 
Each stereo loop can be broken up into 2x mono loops with an Y-cable and in the looper used as 2x complete independent mono loops (Y-TRS-Cables). As these cannot be displayed in this tool (but often used to double the loops on big boards) we configured in this tool 3 stereo connections as 6x mono loops. 

ML10X is the answer for today's musicians.

This limited edition version of Ariel’s signature Broadcast-AP features a stunning blue livery with a gorgeous dark red marbled nameplate. 

We took the low-gain side of the standard Broadcast as the starting point. Together, Ariel and I exchanged the Germanium transistor for a Silicon and used an OEP transformer – the OEP transformer saturates and distorts less below 100Hz compared to the Triad transformer used in the standard Broadcast. These two changes together give the Broadcast-AP a darker, smoother, more powerful tone compared to the standard version. Greater weight in the lows, whilst retaining the open highs and upper-mids, giving the Broadcast a ‘3D’ effect.

Auf Basis der fortschrittlichen BOSS-Technologie bietet das ultra-vielseitige MD-500 so gut wie jeden Modulationseffekt, den ein Musiker benötigt. Das MD-500 verfügt über 28 unterschiedliche Algorithmen mit tiefgreifenden Programmierungsoptionen für eine nahezu endlose Soundpalette. Dank der 32 Bit AD/DA-Wandlung mit 32 Bit Fließkommaberechnung und durchgängiger 96 kHz Samplingrate gewährleistet das MD-500 absolut unverfälschten Sound, der selbst die Fähigkeiten der besten Studio-Hardware in den Schatten stellt.

Zu den Effekten des MD-500 zählen zahlreiche neue Prime-Variationen auf Basis aktuellster BOSS-Technologie sowie klangliche Nachbildungen von Vintage-Klassikern, wie dem CE-1 Chorus Ensemble, dem Roland Dimension D, ‘70s Script-Phaser, ‘80s Tri-Chorus, und vielen mehr. Im A/B Simul-Modus lassen sich zwei Patches gleichzeitig verwenden. Auf diese Weise deckt das MD-500 nahezu alle deine Modulationsanforderungen mit nur einem Pedal ab. Durch Hinzufügen von Drive-Pedalen über die Insert-Loop-Funktion lassen sich Modulationseffekte je nach Soundvorstellung einfach vor, hinter oder um einen Loop herum positionieren.

Based on advanced BOSS technology, the ultra-versatile MD-500 offers almost every modulation effect a musician needs. The MD-500 has 28 different algorithms with deep programming options for a nearly endless palette of sounds. Thanks to the 32-bit AD/DA conversion with 32-bit floating-point calculation and a continuous 96 kHz sampling rate, the MD-500 guarantees absolutely pristine sound that outshines even the best studio hardware.

The effects of the MD-500 include numerous new Prime variations based on the latest BOSS technology as well as tonal recreations of vintage classics such as the CE-1 Chorus Ensemble, the Roland Dimension D, '70s Script-Phaser, '80s Tri- chorus, and many more. In A/B Simul mode, two patches can be used simultaneously. In this way, the MD-500 covers almost all of your modulation needs with just one pedal. By adding drive pedals via the insert loop function, modulation effects can be easily positioned before, after or around a loop.

CIOKS 4 Expander is the perfect companion to CIOKS DC7 in case you would like four additional outlets with four selectable voltages on each tap (9, 12, 15 and 18V DC) which can each deliver 660mA at 9V DC. Simply connect CIOKS 4 Expander to your CIOKS DC7 via the courtesy 24V outlet and you are good to go.

But that is definitely not all – what makes CIOKS 4 Expander truly unique is the fact that you can power it with anything from 9V to 24V DC or 9V to 12V AC via the non-polarized DC socket input. Furthermore CIOKS 4 can even be powered by connecting it to a USB powerbank via its 5V USB C input or by using a tablet or laptop power supply with a USB C plug. This flexibility means that you can use CIOKS 4 Expander as a stand-alone unit and power it with almost any adapter including the 1-SPOT or GigRig Generator. You can also use the 24V output on a Strymon Zuma unit to power the CIOKS 4 Expander. It can also convert an unused AC outlet on your existing power supply into 4 isolated DC outlets.

When we released our original Compressor back in 2011, it quickly became a favourite among guitar and bass players alike who were searching for something more than the typical oversimplified controls found on most compressor pedals. Now, based on our users’ valuable feedback, we’ve taken everything great about our original Compressor and made it even better. 

On top of the full range of features and controls normally only seen in high end studio equipment, such as input and gain reduction metering, independent attack and release controls, a mix knob for parallel compression, and an external sidechain insert, we’ve now added a ‘tilt’ tone eq control, and a selectable sidechain high pass filter built into the Compressor’s detection circuit. Oh, and the whole package is now half the size and available in two snazzy colours!

In order to achieve our concept of ideal sound, we began by restructuring all of the components in an effects unit based on our expertise and extensive experience cultivated and accumulated over the years, and our innate sense of tone, and ultimately arrived at our Integrated Series which was started as FREE THE TONE’s 15th anniversary project. The first release in this series is a pair of overdrive pedals.

We sought extended dynamic range, brilliant overtones, long sustain, quick but fat tone, and of course, the most important thing, pure and clean overdrive sound. In order to realize all of these things, we thoroughly investigated various electronic circuits and parts and all of the factors related to sound such as magnetic fields and/or resonance. We also employed the best quality materials we could find for the case and knobs. After a few years and many prototypes, we finally completed the STRING SLINGER and FIRE MIST.

In the “BLACK VEHICLE” we implemented a newly developed HTS (Holistic Tonal Solution) circuit for electric bass guitars. The HTS circuit, a synonym for FREE THE TONE products, prevents a thin sound, makes the texture of the sounds from the unit uniform when it is turned on and off, and feeds the received signals to the following circuit in an optimal condition.

In addition, newly designed EQ circuits and MIX circuit are also installed in the “BLACK VEHICLE”. The TREBLE and BASS EQ circuits affect only the drive sound. The unprocessed original signal (dry sound) is mixed with the drive sound in the MIX circuit. The EQ and MIX circuits minimize signal phase error, prevent the sound from being buried when the drive amount is increased, and realize an ultimate drive sound that has a clear pitch and contour of sound.
