The new Double Gate Drone Synth is an ode to the original version which was one of the first Mattoverse Electronics products, originally built in a variety of thrift store tins.  Over the years, I iterated on the idea a couple of times, adding new features, which were useful and worth exploring but inevitably drove the price up.  Last year I built one of the previous iterations for a local touring musician who wanted it for their noise sets and it reminded me that the most fun thing about the Double Gate Drone was back when it was an insane noise making machine that was not super refined but was capable of some truly unusual electronic beeps, boops, screeches, and screams.  This version is meant to be simple, affordable, and most importantly, fun to to use.

It is an output only drone synthesizer with two pitch and rate controllable oscillators.  There is a master volume control and a sync toggle switch which allows you to sync the gate of oscillator 2 to the rate of oscillator 1 for fun polyrhythms.  It also brings back the drain feature of the push button power switch of the original version which results in fun ascending pitches from each oscillator as the power drains (this was not possible with later versions whose functionality required IC's which needed constant power).

Double Gate Drone Synthesizer

The FloraVolt is a fruit/vegetable powered audio saturator effects pedal. Play delicious potato powered diminished chords as you contemplate your produce powered future, or just spend the day ripping sick riffs thanks to that old banana you weren’t going to eat anyway.  Use an apple to sweetly saturate your synths and drum machines, or languish in the luscious tones of your lime powered legato leads. 

Move over tonewood... tonefruit is the next great tone debate.

To power the FloraVolt, simply push a fruit/vegetable onto the silver and copper pegs. This forms a simple organic battery that powers the pedals circuit. Depending on the fruit/vegetable you use it is capable of everything from starved distorted tones to mild overdrive and low gain crunch. Most fruits/vegetables provide very little voltage/current so the maximum volume output is usually close to or slightly above unity gain.

FloraVolt

With an all analog signal path, 8 digitally controlled waveforms, and on-board tap-tempo, the new Just A Phase Phaser from Mattoverse Electronics is more than just another phaser.  

While the smooth sine and sweep waveform options cover all of your favorite classic phaser sounds, the harder edged square and ramp waveforms delve into harmonic-tremolo territory and the random square and slopes waveform options cap off an eclectic collection of unique phaser tones.  

This pleasing panoply of fabulous phaser sounds is captured in a compact pedalboard friendly pedal with top mounted jacks and a simple and intuitive 3 knob control layout (character/depth, rate, and waveform).

Just A Phase

A drone synthesizer for your pedalboard, the Drone Tone is a pitch and rate controllable square wave oscillator in a guitar pedal format.   

It can be used stand-alone or with an instrument input, however, the instrument input is unaffected and is simply buffered and passed-through to the output jack.  The mix control sets the volume of the square wave oscillator at the output jack.

MKIII adds onboard tap tempo, tempo sync input (0-5V), internal pitch range control, and top mounted jacks.

Drone Tone MKIII

The MiniDamp is a small simple class-D audio amplifier with controls for gain and volume.  The internal speaker puts out a surprising amount of volume or you can use the speaker output jack to power an external speaker-cabinet for more volume and clean headroom. Output is approximately 4-watts at 4-ohms. Can be powered with a DC adapter or 9V battery (not included).
