The VCA Compressor pedal was born out of our desire to offer a compressor pedal that threads the needle between the transparent and accurate studio compression we love, and the tonal enhancement (aka magic sauce) that we all love in certain vintage compressors or beloved compressor pedals on the market. Our goal was to create a highly flexible, super accurate, and, most importantly, fantastic-sounding compressor pedal. We settled on a VCA (voltage-controlled amplifier) design with a smart and simple set of controls over the crucial compression parameters

VCA Compressor

Introducing the ultimate tone sculpting tool for musicians who demand precision and versatility: the Signal Filter. This isn’t just any filter; it’s a meticulously designed device that offers unparalleled control over your sound’s frequency spectrum. Our Signal Filter is a smart tone shaping tool that offers variable High Pass and Low Pass filters to “pocket” your sound, reigning in the high and low end when you need a tone that’s a little less wide or hi-fi.

As opposed to traditional EQ which boosts and cuts at a set frequency with sloping curves on either side, the Signal Filter uses dual, independently selectable filters that offer a steep cut at 24db per octave on the bass range starting at 38Hz all the way up to 310hz, and on the treble range from 330hz all the way down to 15kHz. This allows you to curb the highs and/or the lows while keeping the remaining inside frequencies fully intact.

The Trilobite is an extremely flexible, high quality dual channel preamplifier paired with routing options required for modern gig setups. The Bullhead EQ section allows for a broad range of tone control including shelving EQ’s for the Bass and Treble controls and variable band pass EQ’s for the Lo Mid and Hi Mid. A parallel and series effect loop, along with two direct outputs, make the Trilobite ideal for the stage or studio. Whether it’s in a pedalboard setup or standalone, you’ll have the most versatile setup possible no matter where you are.

Unser legendärer interner Vorverstärker (IPA) in einer Box. Unser externer Vorverstärker (EPA) eignet sich perfekt für passive oder aktive Instrumente und fügt sich nahtlos in Ihren bestehenden Sound ein. Gleichzeitig bietet er den außergewöhnlich gut abgestimmten 3-Band-EQ, den unsere IPA-Vorverstärker-Nutzer als unverzichtbar schätzen gelernt haben. Holen Sie sich den Trickfish-Vorverstärkersound an Bord, ohne Ihren passiven Bass zu modifizieren, oder fügen Sie Ihrem Pedalboard vor oder nach Ihrer Effektkette eine Vorverstärker-/EQ-Stufe in Studioqualität hinzu, um zusätzliche Klangsteuerung zu erhalten. Wie beim IPA können Benutzer aus zwei Frequenzpunkten pro Band wählen. Dies geschieht über DIP-Schalter auf der Rückseite der Leiterplatte. Die Shelving-Bassanhebung/-absenkung kann auf 40 Hz oder 80 Hz, die Mittenanhebung/-absenkung auf 330 Hz, 375 Hz, 430 Hz oder 500 Hz und die Shelving-Höhenanhebung/-absenkung auf 4 kHz oder 8 kHz konfiguriert werden.

Our iconic Internal Pre Amp (IPA) in a box. Perfect for passive or active instruments, our External Pre Amp (EPA) is designed to seamlessly dovetail with your existing sound, while offering the exceptionally voiced 3 band EQ that our IPA preamp users have come to find indispensable. Get the Trickfish onboard preamp sound without modifying your passive bass or add a studio quality preamp/EQ stage to your pedalboard before or after your FX chain for added tonal control. Like the IPA, users can choose from two frequency points per band. This is done via dip switches on the back of the circuit board. Shelving bass boost/cut can be configured at 40Hz or 80Hz, mid boost/cut at 330Hz, 375Hz, 430Hz, or 500Hz and shelving treble boost/cut at 4kHz or 8kHz.

In a sea of overdrives, our Overdrive Preamp seeks to answer to the question: “How can we bring something different to the table?” We wanted an Overdrive that was warm, smooth, creamy, and retained not only fullness in the low end, but the entire dynamic range of your instrument. 
The Overdrive Preamp delivers a pleasing soft clipping overdrive, with a dry blend knob to mix in as little or as much dirt as you desire. Followed by an onboard 3 band EQ with shelving bass and treble controls, this highly adjustable overdrive with smart tone shaping allows you to perfectly tailor your sound. 
Dial in everything from creamy, touch-sensitive sparkle to full-on saturated filth, and all things in between. Whether you’re painting your sound with a creamy, touch-sensitive sparkle or pushing it to the limits with full-on saturated distortion, our Overdrive Preamp pedal adapts to your creative vision.
