Der EarthQuaker Devices Plumes basiert auf dem legendären grünen Overdrive Pedal, das seit Jahrzehnten als Industriestandard gilt. Im Zusammenspiel mit einem guten Röhrenverstärker erzeugt der Plumes eine warme, transparente Sättigung. EarthQuaker verzichtet auf den bewährten JRC4558 OpAmp und die BJT Buffer und ersetzt sie in der Schaltung durch Low Noise JFET OpAmps für einen präziseren Sound mit deutlich geringerem Grundrauschen. Mit 10 Megaohm Eingangsimpedanz bietet das Pedal einen wunderbar klaren, detaillierten Sound. Der Arbeitsbereich des Tone-Reglers wurde ebenfalls angepasst um mit einem satteren Low End ein breiteres Spektrum an möglichen Sounds zu bieten. 

Zusätzlich bietet der Plumes drei wählbare Clipping-Modi um den Sound des Pedals an möglichst viele Stilrichtungen und unterschiedlichstes Equipment anpassen zu können. Mode 1 bietet symmetrisches Clipping, basierend auf einem Paar LEDs. Das Setting bietet den sattesten Crunch und den klassischen Sound eines übersteuerten Röhrenverstärkers. Mode 2 ist ein Clean Boost ohne Soft Clipping, perfekt um den Clean Sound im Mix nach vorne zu bringen oder den Preamp eines Verstärkers in die Sättigung zu fahren. Mode 3 nutzt asymmetrisches Clipping mit Silizium Dioden und klingt am ehesten nach einem originalen Screamer. Im direkten Vergleich liefert das Setting aber mehr Output und klarere Clean Sounds.

Darüber hinaus verfügt der Plumes auch über EarthQuaker Devices 'Soft Touch' Flexi-Switch-Funktion, mit der du im Handumdrehen zwischen Momentary Modus und traditionellem Latching wählen kannst.

The EarthQuaker Devices Plumes is based on the legendary green overdrive pedal, which has been the industry standard for decades. In combination with a good tube amp, the Plumes creates a warm, transparent saturation. EarthQuaker Devices relinquishes the trusted JRC4558 OpAmp and BJT Buffers and replaces them with low noise JFET OpAmps for a more robust and precise signal with a significantly lower noise floor. With 10 megohms of input impedance, the pedal provides a stronger signal with more clarity and chime. EarthQuaker Devices adjusted the cutoff of the tone control to deliver a more useful range of travel with more booming bass on the low end without sacrificing the cutting midrange and bright top end.

In addition, the Plumes offers three selectable clipping modes to ensure that it will work with a wide variety of gear and playing styles. Mode 1 is symmetrical clipping based on a pair of LEDs. This is the crunchiest setting the Plumes has to offer. When played through a clean amp, it will deliver that classic crunchy valve amp tone. Mode 2 is a clean boost without soft clipping and with straight OpAmp drive, perfect for pushing your clean tone out in front or driving the preamp of an already overdriven amp into breakup saturation. Mode 3 is an asymmetrical silicon diode arrangement like an original screamer but with more output and clean clarity.

The Plumes features EarthQuaker Devices relay-based 'soft touch' Flexi-Switch Technology for both momentary and latching footswitch operation.

The Big Muff is an iconic pedal. Many versions of this classic stompbox have been created since its introduction in the 70s, and Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins is arguably the most-renowned user of the Electro Harmonix Big Muff. Pioneering the huge, engulfing "wall of fuzz" sound that defined the groundbreaking Siamese Dream album in the mid-90s, Corgan relied on a particular iteration of the circuit to attain that massive sound - the V4.

Known as the Op-Amp Big Muff, rare originals of this pedal have sold on the second-hand market for hundreds of pounds. And whilst tone-chasers have worked extremely hard to replicate his legendary sound, Electro Harmonix have listened to fans and given us a pedal that delivers Corgan's tone in a compact stompbox at an affordable price!

Collaboratively designed with the man himself, the Op Amp Big Muff has all the hi-gain, saturated goodness that fans have tried to emulate for almost 25 years. With the 3 classic controls you'd expect to find on most Big Muffs (Sustain, Tone and Volume), you can carefully craft your optimal fuzz sound. Rolling in more top-end cut the higher you turn it up, you can also bring in some sub-octave warmth when you set it lower.

So today is your chance to turn your quiet rig into one that can send you into the stratosphere like a spaceboy in a rocket. With this pedal, rock like a cherub!

Das Digitech Freqout Natural Feedback Creator Effektpedal gehört zu den eher exotischen Vertretern im Pedalboard. Es widmet sich der Erzeugung von Rückkopplungen, die zwar zum Repertoire jedes gepflegten (Rock-) Gitarristen gehören, aber üblicherweise nur mit entsprechender Lautstärke und der Interaktion zwischen Amp, Box und Gitarre möglich sind. Mit dem E-Bow, der seit Mitte der 70er Jahre erhältlich ist, gibt es bereits ein Werkzeug, das die Saiten per Magnetfeld beliebig lang in Schwingung versetzt, indem es über die gewünschte Saite gehalten wird. Oder den Sustainer von Fernandes, ein Pickup, der ebenfalls die Saiten zum Schwingen bringt, wenn er per Schalter dazu aufgefordert wird. Und natürlich muss beim Umbau der Gitarre einer der vorhandenen Tonabnehmer dem Sustainer weichen.

The DigiTech FreqOut Natural Feedback Creator allows you to get sweet, natural feedback at any volume, with or without distortion. The FreqOut is perfect for situations where volume must be controlled like in the studio, with in ear monitors, or low-volume performance and practice. However, the FreqOut can also be used at gig volume to focus out-of-control feedback on a preferred harmonic at any stage position. The FreqOut uses a 9VDC power supply to easily integrate into your existing pedalboard.

The Shift Line Stages is an overdrive with an excellent dynamic range and deep tone-shaping capabilities. If you're looking for a pedal with a meticulous response to your playing and great control over the tonal balance, the Stages is for you.

The Stages was primarily designed for use with electric guitar, but you can certainly run other instruments through it as well. For instance, the pedal works really well with bass (even despite the lack of wet/dry mix control).

A+ CabZone X is the new generation of our digital IR-based cabinet simulator. The Impulse Response Convolution technology provides a realistic sound and preserves the unique character of the cabinet and microphone used to record the impulse. We have taken into account user feedback to create a new version of a simple and convenient device that would allow you to play and record without having to use unwieldy cabinets and complex signal chains.

The A+ Flex is a tube bass preamplifier aimed at players who prefer the classic East Coast sound.

Here at Shift Line, we've always been particularly fascinated with bass-focused devices. Our product lineup includes the Olympic preamp with its "California sound", so the introduction of the East Coast-style Flex preamp was just a matter of time. We're extremely happy to introduce the new device, as the Flex can significantly expand your sound palette.

The A+ Flex is a fully analog preamp based on the 12AX7 tube. The device allows for soft compression and characterful harmonic saturation while also giving you control over your instrument's tonal balance and volume. The Flex has three outputs (main, balanced and THRU) allowing you to set up multiple independent signal chains. Additionally, you can use the device as a drive pedal or toneshaper due to its bypass switch.

The A+ Prism II is a new version of the Prism-9 complex effect pedal. Combining multiple techniques in a single unit, the device employs an outside-the-box approach to sound processing. The Prism II is comprised of subtractive and additive synthesis elements along with reverberation and various types of modulation (frequency, temporal and spatial). Rather than being lined up in a typical linear fashion, all parts of the system form a single "organism", allowing multiple parameters to be tweaked simultaneously. You could try and replicate it by using a chain of multiple time-synced effects — but that would be no easy feat, as the Prism II has 3 pitch shifting sections, 4 multimode filters, 2 modulation blocks, and a single reverb section. All the elements are organized in two identical chains (as the device works in stereo) with a separate mix section at each stage. The pedal's four LFOs provide extensive control over the stereo field and filter automation. The Prism II can be controlled via the TAP footswitch or synced to an external clock. Additionally, the device offers an expression pedal simulation mode along with a DETUNE function.
