Pedalboard - Vintage

David Litaba

The MXR M306 Poly Blue Octave Pedal is a colossal box of tone. There's a staggering array of effects to explore in a single pedal that'll keep you experimenting all night. With no less than four separate octave divisions available you can send your tone plummeting down the registers for some unctuous bass or soar up through the pitches to reach dizzying high notes. Combine all those octaves together or separately and mix in the fuzz, mono, dry/wet and expression pedal options and you have an almost unlimited palette of sonic creation. Whatever sound is in your head, you can bring it to life it on the MXR Poly Blue.

It simply can't be overstated just how versatile and varied this delightful stomp box is. Offering dual-mode modulation, your effects are boosted with phaser like momentum, be that a thick, undulating slow swirls or a frenzied, frantic dash. Set into the polyphonic mode you have access to textures resembling the famous rotary Leslie effect, while the monophonic switch evokes the swooshes and dips of MXR's celebrated Phase 90 pedal. And for those times you don't want to draw on the considerable power of the M306, it's default off bypass mode will ensure your signal is unaffected no matter where you place this on your pedalboard.

Das originale Focus Fuzz wurde entwickelt, um den vollen Geschmack von Vintage-Fuzz ohne viel Schnickschnack zu liefern. Aufgrund seines Germaniumtransistors auf nur 250 Stück limitiert, war dieses Pedal bereits 2023 innerhalb weniger Tage ausverkauft. Es folgte eine Vollsiliziumversion mit einer dunkleren, sanfteren Version dieser Schaltung. Dennoch erhielten wir zahlreiche Anfragen, das Original neu aufzulegen.

Doch wir wollten nicht darauf verzichten, es zu erweitern und haben der Deluxe-Version zwei neue Schaltungen hinzugefügt, die die einzigartige Focus-Steuerung optimal nutzen – einen Overdrive-Modus für leichtere Gain-Sounds und einen strukturierten, nahezu sauberen Boost, den Sie am liebsten dauerhaft eingeschaltet lassen möchten.

The original Focus Fuzz was designed to deliver all the flavour of vintage fuzz with none of the fuss. Limited to just 250 units because of its germanium transistor, this pedal sold out in a matter of days back in 2023. An all-silicon version followed, offering a darker, smoother take on this circuit, but we nevertheless received many requests to reissue the original.

But we didn’t want to do that without expanding on it and, in the Deluxe version, we’ve added two new circuits that capitalise on the unique Focus control – an overdrive mode for lighter gain sounds and a textured, almost-clean boost that you may want to leave on all the time.

Focus Fuzz Deluxe

Vintage-sounding germanium Fuzz pedal - a legendary sound that helped shape a generation.

As our stock of Fuzz Phrase-compatible CV7003s is gradually depleting, we are proud to re-introduce it, celebrating its uniqueness and scarcity with point- to-point wiring housed in a luxurious leather enclosure.

The most crucial ingredient when it comes to a Germanium Fuzz pedal’s quality, sound and “clean- ability”, is transistor choice. In our experience there’s nothing quite like the CV7003, military-spec OC44 germanium transistors.
Each individual transistor is measured for gain and leakage and then hand picked and matched through sound audition.

La Grotte is the new analog spring reverb by Anasounds. It may look like a mere evolution of the Element with the spring inside the main pedal, but in fact it offers a brand new sound and brand new features, designed in close collaboration with Jack White for his Third Man Hardware brand.

At its core, La Grotte is a mechanical reverb that includes a three-spring tank, but it also features a warm preamp with a distinct sonic personnalité, and a very powerful two-band EQ that only affects the reverberated sound. Independent volume settings for the dry and wet sounds allow you to find the perfect balance you’ve been searching for.

La Grotte is a secret weapon of choice on the pedalboard of any demanding guitar player, regardless of their musical approach: vintage or modern, blues or pop, garage or soul. Other musicians and sound engineers alike will also enjoy the sonic depths of La Grotte.

Often imitated but never duplicated, the elusive vintage "script" Phase 90 is at the top of the list for pedal collector's world-wide. The original version—available from the company's inception to the late '70s—practically defined the classic phase shifter sound, and was heard on everything from hard rock, jazz-fusion, to funk hits. The MXR Custom Shop Script Phase 90 brings back the headroom and clarity of the original, along with its ultra warm and smooth phasing and reduced midrange swell. And it comes dressed in the original smooth orange paint job and script logo with an LED and AC power jack, direct from the MXR Custom Shop.

Über die Jahre hat sich das Morning Glory zweifellos zum bekanntesten und meistgepriesenen JHS Pedal entwickelt. Er wurde ursprünglich in 2009 aus Bedarf an einem Overdrive Pedal entwickelt, das den Sound eines Amps nimmt und ihn aufs nächste Level katapultiert ohne Mitten und den Klangcharakter eines TS-Style Overdrives hinzuzufügen. Das Ziel war ein einfaches Pedal, verdammt transparent – nicht mehr nicht weniger. Egal ob du Strat oder Paula spielst, du wirst sofort feststellen wie gut das Morning Glory auf deine Spieldynamik anspricht und das Feel deines Instruments dabei 100 % intakt lässt.

Over the years the Morning Glory is undoubtedly JHS’ most known and praised overdrive pedal. It was created in 2009 out of a need for an overdrive pedal that simply took a guitar and amplifier’s tone to the next level without adding strong mid frequencies or any other characteristic that came along with the Tubescreamer style circuits on the market. Its goal was, and still is, to be incredibly easy to use and to be the most transparent overdrive out there. Whether you play a Stratocaster or a Les Paul, you will instantly recognize how the Morning Glory is touch sensitive and keeps 100% of your instrument’s feel in place.

Die Jeanne Reizh von Dolmen Effects ist ein vielseitiger Overdrive, inspiriert von der Vemuram Jan Ray und Paul Cochrane Timmy, der ihre klanglichen Eigenschaften in einem Pedal mit germaniumgedopten Dioden vereint. Sie liefert einen kräftigen Klang mit warmen Bässen, geschmeidigen Mitten und großer Gain Bandbreite ohne die natürliche Dynamik zu beeinträchtigen. Durch ihre Bedienelemente und Diodenklemmungs Einstellung bietet sie einen sauberen Boost sowie einen warmen bluesigen Crunch. Zehn interne Klemmlagen mit symmetrischem und asymmetrischem Silizium und Germanium Dioden Feedback erlauben individuelles Sättigungs Tuning. Ein externer Schalter wechselt zwischen „Normal“ für geringen Gain und „Hot“ für höheren Gain für unterschiedliche Gain Einstellungen. Vier Bedienregler für Volume, Gain, Bass und Treble sowie hochwertige Komponenten unterstreichen die Boutique Verarbeitungsqualität.

The Jeanne Reizh from Dolmen Effects is a versatile overdrive inspired by the Vemuram Jan Ray and Paul Cochrane Timmy, blending their tonal characters into a single pedal with Germanium doped diodes. It delivers a punchy sound with warm bass, smooth mids, and a wide gain range while preserving natural dynamics. The pedal offers both clean boost and warm bluesy crunch through its controls and diode clipping modes. Unique internal clipping options with ten modes mixing symmetrical and asymmetrical silicon and germanium diode feedback let you tailor the saturation. An external switch lets you toggle between "Normal" for low gain and "Hot" for higher gain for varied gain staging. Four intuitive knobs for Volume, Gain, Bass, and Treble together with premium components highlight its boutique build quality.

Der Broadcast AP-II ist ein gemeinsam mit dem Gitarristen Ariel Posen entwickeltes Dual-Preamplifier-Pedal. Er verfügt über zwei unabhängige, unterschiedlich abgestimmte Vorverstärker-Schaltungen, die jeweils ihre eigene, dezente Färbung hinzufügen. Die erste Schaltung ist mit einem Siliziumtransistor und einem Transformator ausgestattet und liefert den sanften, dunkleren Ton des ursprünglichen Broadcast-AP. Die zweite Schaltung verzichtet auf den Transformator und verwendet stattdessen einen Germaniumtransistor, was einen helleren, aggressiveren Klang ergibt. Eine umkehrbare Send/Return-Schleife zwischen den beiden Sektionen ermöglicht das Einschleifen weiterer Pedale oder das Platzieren jedes Preamps an unterschiedlichen Stellen der Effektkette.

The Broadcast AP-II is a dual preamplifier pedal designed in conjunction with guitarist Ariel Posen. It features two independent, differently-voiced preamplifier circuits which each add their own subtle colour. The first is fitted with a silicon transistor and transformer, bringing the smooth, darker tone of the original Broadcast-AP. The second removes the transformer and replaces the silicon with a germanium transistor, resulting in a brighter, more aggressive tone. A reversible send/return loop between the two sections lets you insert other pedals or place each preamp at different points in your signal chain.

V-3 features the same options as the V-2, so it’s basically the same product in the context of secondary options. However, we played around with the complex opto-system a lot. The main difference between V-3 and V-2 is in the modulation EQ. V-2 modulates just a slight part of the main tone (mid-range focused modulation), while V-3 blends in nicely with the main tone and modulates it without changing the EQ. V-3 has a wider modulation and brings more depth.

Der Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man aus den 1990er Jahren ist ein echtes Schwergewicht im Bereich der schaltkreisbasierten analogen Verzögerungsgeräte und immer noch ein begehrtes Stück Vintage-Equipment. Typischerweise ist diese Version (Debüt 1996) des Deluxe Memory Man als "Big Box"-Version bekannt. Sie hat einen höheren Sammlerwert als spätere Versionen.

An original heavyweight in the realm of bucket brigade circuit-based analog delay, the Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man of the 1990s still stands as a highly coveted piece of vintage gear. Typically this version (debuting in 1996) of the Deluxe Memory Man is known as the "big box" version. It is more collectible than later versions.

With just one look, you know exactly what it sounds like.
Pure.
True.
Love at first sight.
Love at first sound.
The perfect 10...

Inside you'll find free-standing Switchcraft jacks, a heavy-duty Italian on/off switch, double-clad circuit board, low-noise inductor, exclusive RMC-ICAR potentiometer, and tight tolerance through-hole components. Outside you've got a black crinkle-finish base and a chrome rocker with black footpad.

Italian soul.

Plain and simple.

Just like all RMC wahs, the RMC10 is developed and built by me, Geoffrey Teese, and includes licensed Foxrox Electronics fuzz-friendly technology, true-bypass, easily adjustable rocker tension, and AC adapter jack, and is covered by our limited one year warranty.

Inspiriert von den Octafuzz-Klängen aus der Blütezeit der Gitarrenmusik, will der Octaurus ltd diese nicht einfach nur nachahmen, sondern auf dieser reichen Tradition aufbauen und sich gleichzeitig als eines der besten Beispiele dieses Genres behaupten. Wir haben unsere Lieblingsmerkmale aus vielen verschiedenen legendären Octafuzz-Modellen der Vergangenheit identifiziert und es uns zur Aufgabe gemacht, einen Weg zu finden, sie alle in einem einzigen Gerät zu vereinen.
Er ist eine Meisterleistung in Sachen Vintage-Sound und -Feeling.

Die komplexe, turmbasierte Punkt-zu-Punkt-Konstruktion basiert auf einer Reihe von NOS-Siliziumtransistoren aus den frühen 60er Jahren, die entweder von Transitron oder General Instrument oder beiden hergestellt wurden und dem 2N335/336 ähneln, wodurch sie den einzigartigen Klangcharakter des Octaurus ltd ergänzen.

Inspired by the octafuzz tones from the golden era of guitar music, the Octaurus ltd is not looking to emulate but rather build on this rich lineage while claiming its place as one of the finest examples of the genre out there. Identifying our favourite behavioural attributes scattered across many different legendary octafuzzes of the past, our mission was to find a way to bring them all together in a single standalone device.
It is a tour de force of vintage sound and feel.

The intricate turret-based point-to-point construction is designed around a batch of early 60s NOS silicon transistors either made by Transitron or General Instrument or both, similar to 2N335/336, complementing the Octaurus ltd's unique tonal character.
