There is one overdrive circuit to this day has been the most talked about, the most sought after, and the most mythical of them all. It’s big, it’s expensive, and it has certainly earned its place at the table. Wampler has painstakingly and faithfully reproduced that magical tone in all its glory in an unbelievably small package, and its name is Tumnus. Tumnus is a versatile addition to any setup, any style. Stack it with another pedal to help push or shape the total amount of gain, use it as a stand alone overdrive, or use it as a slightly dirty boost to push the front end of your amp over the edge. You can even use it as a buffer, because just like the original this pedal is not true bypass. Instead, faithful to the original, this pedal contains a buffered bypass tone legendary in its own right. The Tumnus’ streamlined 3 control knobs (Volume, Gain, and Treble) allow you to quickly dial in your tones no matter what the gig calls for. We aren’t going to sit here and claim it has magical parts, or we sourced out 60 year old diodes that make it perfect, but we are going to say that during our research we looked at everything available and then only used the parts that Brian chose to replicate that amazing tone. Let’s face it, not everyone has room for a four-legged beast on their board. This smaller version slips in and out of a myriad of tight situations. Now you can have the tone. Now you can have history. Now you can have it all without having to sell your prized gear possessions. The Wampler Tumnus, standing up for that amazing tone, but without the outrageous claims often associated with it.

Ein Regler, viele Möglichkeiten. Das Acapulco Gold ist eine „Ein-Knopf-Power-Amp-Distortion-Box“, welche die Endstufen-Verzerrungen eines Vintage Sunn Model T Verstärkers emuliert. Das Acapulco Gold interagiert perfekt mit Volume- und Tone-Potis der Gitarre und klart beim Zurückdrehen etwas auf. Wer seinen Röhren-Amp zusätzlich zum „Sunn-Model-T-Kick“ auch boosten möchte, liegt beim Acapulco Gold genau richtig. In erster Linie erzeugt das Pedal jedoch heftige Distortions bis hin fast zum Fuzz und kann mächtig viel Pegel erzeugen! Das Pedal reagiert sehr dynamisch auf die Spielweise. Das Acapulco Gold verfügt über True Bypass und wird in Handarbeit in Akron, Ohio un den USA hergestellt.  

Das Acapulco Gold V2 verfügt über einen geräuschlosen, relais-basierten Soft-Touch Fußschalter. Audiosignale haben keinen Durchgang, wenn das Gerät nicht mit Strom versorgt wird.

One knob, many possibilities. The Acapulco Gold is a “one knob power amp distortion box” based on the vibe of a cranked Sunn Model T. The Acapulco Gold interacts perfectly with the Volume and Tone controls of the guitar cleaning as they are rolled down. For those who would like to give their tube amps a “Sunn Model T” kick, the Acapulco Gold is the perfect choice. However, the pedal can produce aggressive distortion sounds in the verge of Fuzz. It responds very dynamically to the playing style. The Acapulco Gold features True Bypass and it’s hand built in Akron, Ohio in the USA. 

The Acapulco Gold V2 uses silent relay-based soft touch switching. Audio will not pass without power.

40 years ago, in a tiny town in Denmark, two brothers planted a sonic seed – and the SCF STEREO CHORUS FLANGER was born!
A chorus pedal so great and so far ahead of its time – that it single-handedly shaped the destiny of TC ELECTRONIC.

In celebration of our 40th anniversary – and to honor this legendary piece of kit – we’ve created a special limited run of the CORONA CHORUS (only 2,000 units), which sees the CORONA take on the sleek, iconic look of the original SCF pedal.

To ensure it doesn’t just look the part, we’ve meticulously recreated the lush, all-enveloping chorus, pitch-mod and flanger tones of the original, now available as TonePrints, ready to beam to your CORONA CHORUS – absolutely free of charge!

Kontrolliere ein Volumen und FX-Parameter ohne dein Pedalboard mit einem weiteren großen Pedal noch voller zu packen. Platzsparen muss nicht heißen auf Funktionalität zu verzichten – das DVP Volume (X) Pedal macht alles das, was sein großer Bruder das DVP3 kann – bei halber Größe und genauso robust gebaut im leichten Alu-Gehäuse. Wie das DVP3 hat es auch die rutschfeste Pedaloberfläche und den patentierten Low-Friction-Band-Drive, der für einen sanften und gleichmäßigen Regelweg und zuverlässige Performance sorgt. Für maximalen Komfort ist die Leichtgängigkeit des Pedals vollkommen einstellbar.

Der AUX Ausgang vereint Tuner und Expression Funktion in einer Buchse, die per internem Schalter festgelegt werden kann. Über interne Trim-Potis kann das Minimum-Volumen des Pedals eingestellt werden und wenn du willst, kannst du auch die Funktionsrichtung umkehren – ein weiterer interner Schalter macht’s möglich.

Control your volume and FX parameters without crowding your pedalboard. Saving space doesn’t mean skimping on durability or functionality—the DVP4 Mini Volume (X) Pedal does everything that the larger DVP3 does at half the size, and it’s just as solidly built with a lightweight aluminum chassis, aggressive non-slip tread, and our patented Low Friction Band-Drive for a smooth range of motion and consistent, reliable performance. For maximum comfort and precision, the DVP4’s rocker tension is fully adjustable. 

The AUX output combines tuner and expression functionality into one jack that can be toggled with a switch inside the pedal. When using the DVP4 as an expression pedal, you can use an internal pot to set the minimum level of the parameter you’re controlling with the rocker. If you want to reverse the function of the heel-down and toe-down positions, the DVP4 has another internal switch that allows you to do so.

VOLUME (X) MINI (DVP4)

Die magische Kombination aus Tremolo und Reverb ist das früheste Beispiel für eine perfekte Verbindung von Gitarreneffekten. Erstmals in legendären Verstärkern der 1960er Jahre eingesetzt, hat dieses harmonische Zusammenspiel unzählige Aufnahmen und Live-Performances geprägt – von frühem Surfrock, swampigem Bayou-Blues, Spaghetti-Western und Film-noir-Soundtracks bis hin zu modernem Indie-Rock. Auch heute entdecken Gitarrist:innen die inspirierende Kraft dieses Traumpaars immer wieder neu.

Flint ist ein Studio-Qualitäts-Effektpedal, das genau diese klassische Kombination liefert. Wir haben unsere Lieblings-Tremolo- und Reverb-Schaltungen aus der Vergangenheit intensiv analysiert, ihre klanglichen Feinheiten untersucht und sie in unseren aufwendig entwickelten Algorithmen detailgetreu nachgebildet. Flint ist im Grunde zwei Pedale in einem – Tremolo auf der einen, Reverb auf der anderen Seite.

The magical combination of tremolo and reverb is the earliest example of a perfect guitar effects marriage. First pioneered within historic amplifiers of the 1960s, this harmonious coexistence has made its way onto countless records and performances — from early surf, swampy bayou blues, spaghetti westerns and film noir soundtracks, to modern day indie rock. As music moves forward, guitarists continue rediscovering the inspiration provided by this perfect pair.

Flint is a studio-class effects pedal that delivers this classic combination. We carefully studied our favorite classic tremolo and reverb circuits, examined the sonic complexities and faithfully accounted for every detail in our hand-crafted algorithms. Flint is essentially two pedals in one, with tremolo on one half and reverb on the other.

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.

Famous for its woody, organic and beautiful sounds of saturation, these legendary British amplifiers, the Super Lead &amp; Super Bass, have been delivering one of the all-time classic sounds for almost 50 years. Players like Jimmy Page, Paul Kossoff and countless other relied on this type of tone for their signature sound. Xotic has recreated this vintage masterpiece in a rugged small enclosure. The SL Drive offers very amp-like response and cleans up nicely with a roll of your guitar’s volume knob. The internal dip switches allow you to choose the sound characteristics of both 1959 models. The “Super Lead” setting offers a brighter tone with more gain, while the “Super Bass” setting has more low end with less highs. This compact design is a powerful tool for the working musicians.
