The LLX incorporates APIs legendary EQ circuit into a versatile and compact bass guitar pedal. The LLX offers +/- 15dB of gain on 3 bass guitar specific frequencies; 100Hz, 400Hz and 2kHz. The gain stage can be switched from clean boost to overdrive, which drives the input OpAmp and adds even more tone. The LLX also features a buffered bypass, -20dB output pad, selectable peak/shelf for upper frequency range, transformer output and of course the classic API sound.

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. Although our original Compressor sounded great on bass (and still does!) we set out to do 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 fully variable sidechain high pass filter, and a two position ‘tone + colour’ circuit which adds gentle tone sculpting and harmonic distortion, giving your bass some delicious character.

The micro-Thumpinator is a bandwidth optimizer designed for bass guitar. It removes the low frequency signals that are outside the range of notes produced by the instrument.

Infrasonic frequencies cannot be reproduced by standard bass cabinets but they often make amplifiers clip, especially when they are set to boost the lower frequencies. The Thumpinator filters the signal content optimising the energy delivered by the amplifier. Low-frequency clip is substantially reduced and the sound is tighter especially at high volume levels.

The micro-Thumpinator accepts instrument and line level signals. It can be used between preamplifier and amplifier, between bass and amplifier or anywhere in the effect chain (line or instrument level). It can also be connected directly to an audio interface.

Der Sfx Sound micro-Thumpinator v1 ist ein dediziertes Hochpassfilter-Pedal, das für E-Bass entwickelt wurde. Seine Hauptfunktion ist das Entfernen von unerwünschten, unhörbaren Unterschallfrequenzen, die bei Verstärkern zu Clipping führen und den Sound, besonders bei hohen Lautstärken, undifferenziert machen können. Durch das Herausfiltern von Frequenzen unter einer bestimmten Schwelle strafft es den Low-End-Bereich, verbessert die Klarheit und optimiert die vom Verstärker gelieferte Energie. Das Pedal funktioniert mit Instrumenten- und Line-Pegel-Signalen und kann an jeder Stelle in der Signalkette platziert werden.

Its primary function is to remove unwanted, inaudible subsonic frequencies that can cause amplifiers to clip and sound muddy, particularly at high volumes. By filtering out frequencies below a certain threshold, it tightens the low-end, improves clarity, and optimizes the energy delivered by the amplifier. The pedal works with both instrument and line-level signals and can be placed anywhere in the signal chain.zer: Cutting off fundamental frequencies below 30 Hz

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.

Das API Select TranZformer GTR kombiniert die legendäre EQ-Schaltung von API in einem kompakten Pedalformat für Gitarristen. Es verfügt über einen variablen Vorverstärker, der zwischen einem sauberen Boost und einem Overdrive-Modus umschalten kann, um den proprietären API 2510 OpAmp in die Sättigung zu treiben. Der 3-Band-EQ basiert auf dem klassischen API 553 Programm-Equalizer und bietet eine gezielte Frequenzbearbeitung. Ein zentrales Merkmal ist der signifikante API-Ausgangstransformator, der dem Signal die charakteristische analoge Wärme und Kompression verleiht. Das Pedal ist als hochwertiger „Channel Strip“ für das Pedalboard konzipiert und bietet zudem einen schaltbaren -20 dB Ausgangs-Pad. Es ist Teil der API Select-Serie, die Studio-Technologie für Live-Musiker zugänglich macht.

Das API Select TranZformer CMP bringt die Schaltung des legendären API 527 VCA-Kompressors in ein kompaktes Pedalformat. Es nutzt den proprietären API 2510 OpAmp und einen speziellen Ausgangstransformator, um den klassischen, druckvollen Studio-Sound zu liefern. Ein besonderes Merkmal ist der umschaltbare Kompressionsstil zwischen „Old“ (Feedback-Modus wie beim 525) und „New“ (moderner Feed-forward-Modus). Das Pedal bietet zudem Regler für Wet/Dry-Blending für parallele Kompression sowie einstellbare Attack- und Release-Zeiten. Die Schaltung ist rein analog und darauf ausgelegt, Studio-Dynamikbearbeitung direkt auf das Pedalboard zu bringen. Es ist Teil der API Select-Reihe, die professionelle Studio-Hardware für Live-Anwendungen optimiert.

It features the proprietary API 2510 OpAmp and a signature output transformer to deliver iconic, punchy studio-grade compression. A standout feature is the selectable compression type, allowing users to toggle between "Old" (Feedback mode, similar to the classic 525) and "New" (modern Feed-forward mode). The pedal also includes a Wet/Dry blend control for parallel compression and adjustable Attack and Release settings via toggle switches. The signal path is fully analog, designed to provide studio-quality dynamics control in a rugged stompbox. It belongs to the API Select series, which adapts high-end studio technology for live performance.
