The VCA chip used in the Apex has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The Apex is no longer in production. For more information on archived pedals, click on the Archive link at the top of this page.

 

The Apex is a studio quality compressor with excellent control, large headroom, and clean accurate compression. It uses a THAT voltage controlled amplifier (VCA) for the highest fidelity in a small and functional format.

 

The compression ratio ranges from subtle to total limiting. The signal threshold can be set for line level signals or all the way down to the low output instruments. Up to 20 dB of gain allows for making up any volume lost due to compression, or simply boosting your signal above unity.

 

The Apex also has a variable high pass filter placed in the side chain. This feature is great for bass guitars when you don't want the low end to trigger the compression as much as the mids and highs, making the compression naturally follow your playing style. The high pass filter will not affect your audio signal, so don't worry about any loss of low end!

 

The wide ranging compression meter gives you an accurate visual indication of how much compression is actually happening.

 

The pedal requires a 9V DC power supply (not included). The DC supply should be a standard Boss style connector, center negative polarity. The current draw is approximately 60 mA.

 

The Apex has a true bypass switch.

Apex VCA Compressor

A standard Broughton high pass filter with the bypass switch removed. This design allows a more compact layout, fitting on a single pedal board rail, or even mountable underneath a pedal board.

The high pass filter is a 12 dB per octave low frequency filter. The knob controls the cutoff frequency and ranges continuously from 25 Hz to 190 Hz. It has the same frequency points as the switched version, but it does not have the frequencies printed around the knob.

The stock input impedance is 1MΩ. If you have an acoustic pickup that requires a specialized input impedance, write it in the notes during check-out, and we will accomodate the request at no extra cost. The output impedance is 100Ω. This device will work with active or passive instruments, as well as with other devices such as pedals, preamps, or effects loops.

The Silver Deluxe is a JFET boost with a Fender tone stack EQ. The JFET topology adds some character to your signal, while the passive EQ delivers the familiar response found on many classic tube amps.

The EQ is an exact recreation of the Fender tone stack with Mids. It is also the same as the Alembic F2B.

The Silver Deluxe is designed to produce mild JFET overdrive when pushed. This is achievable with instrument level signals, and powering the pedal with a 9V supply. For a clean output, it is recommended to use a higher supply voltage.

The Low Pass Filter pedal can be used for taming harsh high end such as fret buzz, string noise, and artifacts from other effects such as distortion pedals. It is also useful for simulating the high frequency roll-off of speaker cabinets. At it's most extreme setting, the Low Pass Filter can turn a bass guitar signal into a low end dub tone.
The low pass filter is a 12 dB per octave high frequency filter. The knob controls the cutoff frequency and ranges continuously from 15 kHz to 220 Hz.
