The PastFx Patriarch fuzz is a faithful recreation and expansion of the Buffalo FX Patriot MKI and MKII, which was modeled after the Sovtek “Civil War” (Blue & Grey) Muff famously used by David Gilmour during Pink Floyd’s 1994 Division Bell tour and timelessly captured in their acclaimed live album Pulse. It is our highest gain offering within the Spectrum Collection. The Patriarch is characterised by booming low end, cutting lead tones, and jaw-dropping sustain and power, all while maintaining a surprisingly quiet noise floor. It is a heavy, girthy Muff-style fuzz that blasts through the mix and offers punishingly brutal note definition and natural compression that makes for extremely satisfying high gain fuzz tones. The Patriarch is more naturally “mids present” than most other Muff-derived circuits. To further exploit this, the pedal boasts a “Mids” knob that allows users to bring more or less into the mix, as well as a “Lows” cut knob that tames the substantial low end as it is turned clockwise. There is also an internal micro switch for exploring more tone sculpting options for determining the pedal’s mids and EQ response. With the Level rolled down or turned up, the Patriarch can deliver bite, grit, and presence, with a refined fire-breathing attitude that gloriously pummels the senses and rains down sweet muffy goodness at any setting.

Der PastFx 18V Power Booster ist eine pedalboardfreundliche Nachbildung und Weiterentwicklung des klassischen Buffalo FX Power Booster, inspiriert von der legendären Schaltung des Colorsound Power Booster. Er kombiniert Boost, EQ, Overdrive und leichtes Fuzz mit intuitiven Reglern für Gain, Level, Bass, Mild und Treble zur Klangformung. Das Pedal verfügt über einen dedizierten Master-Lautstärkeregler, externe Gain-Kontrolle und einen einstellbaren internen Gain-Schalter für unterschiedliche Verzerrungsgrade — von sauberem Boost über krustigen Overdrive bis hin zu leichtem Fuzz — und fügt dem Gitarrenton Farbe hinzu, ohne diesen zu dominieren. Es läuft bei 9 V bzw. intern verdoppelt auf 18 V für mehr Headroom.

The PastFx 18V Power Booster is a pedalboard-friendly recreation and expansion of the classic Buffalo FX Power Booster inspired by the legendary Colorsound Power Booster circuit. It combines boost, EQ, overdrive, and mild fuzz characteristics with intuitive controls for Gain, Level, Bass, Mild, and Treble to shape your sound. The pedal offers a dedicated master volume, external gain control, and adjustable internal gain switch for varying levels of grit — from clean boost to gritty overdrive and light fuzz — while adding tonal colour without overpowering your core guitar tone. It runs from 9 V to internally doubled 18 V for increased headroom.

Der PastFx Hot for Flanger ist ein analoger Flanger-Effektpedal des australischen Herstellers PastFx, der vom klassischen 1970er-MXR M117 Flanger-Sound inspiriert ist, aber mit modernen Features und einem kompakten Gehäuse erweitert wurde. Er verwendet einen NOS MN3007-BBD-Chip, der klassische Jet-Plane- und modulierte Sweep-Sounds liefert, sowie Regler für Speed (Rate), Width, Manual, Regen (Feedback) und Blend zur Mischung von trockenem und Flanger-Signal. Ein spezieller Waldo/EVH-inspirierten Timing-Schalter verändert die Clock/Modulationscharakteristik, und eine zweifarbige LFO-LED zeigt die Modulationsgeschwindigkeit an. Das Pedal wird mit 18 V DC (Negativ-Tip) betrieben und bietet True Bypass.

The PastFx Hot for Flanger is an analog flanger effect pedal from Australian builder PastFx, inspired by the vintage 1970s MXR M117 Flanger sound and circuit but modernized with extra features and a compact enclosure. It uses an NOS MN3007 bucket-brigade delay (BBD) chip, providing classic jet-plane and swooshing modulation tones alongside controls for Speed (Rate), Width, Manual, Regen (feedback) and Blend for wet/dry balance. A unique Waldo/EVH-inspired clock/timing switch adds a different voicing or faster clock range, and a dual red/blue LFO LED gives visual feedback on modulation rate settings. The pedal runs on 18 V DC (negative tip) for optimal headroom and BBD performance, and is equipped with true bypass switching.

Das PastFx Poly Chorus ist ein rein analoges Multi-Modulationspedal, das vom originalen Electro-Harmonix Poly Chorus der 1980er Jahre inspiriert wurde. Es erzeugt bis zu fünf Effekte, darunter Slapback oder Double Tracking, Chorus, Vibrato, Flanger und Filter-Matrix, in einem kompakten Gehäuse. Es verfügt über True Bypass, eine LED-Modusanzeige, einen Blend-Regler zur Mischung des Effekts sowie interne Threshold- und Lautstärke-Trim-Regler. Das Pedal verwendet zwei Vintage-Panasonic-BBD-Chips für authentische analoge Modulation. Die Schaltung behält einige Vintage-Eigenschaften bei, die zu seinem charakteristischen Klang beitragen.

The PastFx Poly Chorus is an all-analog multi-effect modulation pedal inspired by the original 1980s Electro-Harmonix Poly Chorus. It produces up to five effects including slapback or double tracking, chorus, vibrato, flanger, and filter matrix, all from a single compact pedal. It features true bypass, an LED mode indicator, a blend control for effect mixing, and internal threshold and volume trim controls. The pedal uses two vintage Panasonic BBD chips to deliver authentic analog modulation. The circuit retains some of the vintage characteristics that contribute to its unique sound.

The PastFx New Division Is a faithful recreation of the 1970’s / 80’s MN3007 EHX Clone Theory. We have also incorporated some of the features of the 1st 1970’s Reticon Sad1024 version, while adding new options that address some of the flaws of the original circuit.

Peter Hook (New Order /Joy Division) is probably the most well-known artist associated with these early models. The 1970’s Sad1024 version incorporates an “Edge” (Bright switch), however when the Bucket Brigade chip was replaced with the MN3007, the bright switch was removed and a VIB/Flange switch was added.
The Heart of the New Division is its Chorus effect.
