Das Paraloop ist ein Signalsplitter und -controller, der entwickelt wurde, um die Flexibilität der Signalkette zu erweitern. Es teilt ein einzelnes Eingangssignal in zwei separate, parallele, im Ruhezustand geschlossene Effektschleifen auf, die über gepufferte Clean-Audiopfade verfügen. Ein dedizierter Send-Level-Regler steuert die Signalstärke, die in beide Schleifen gelangt, oder fungiert als sauberer Lautstärkeboost und Dämpfungsregler, wenn keine Effekte angeschlossen sind. Diese Architektur ermöglicht die parallele Effektverarbeitung, das Mischen von zwei Instrumenten ohne herkömmliches Mischpult oder das Aufteilen eines Eingangs auf zwei unabhängige Verstärker.

The Paraloop is a utility signal router and controller designed to expand signal chain flexibility. It splits a single input signal into two separate, parallel, normally closed effects loops, which feature buffered clean audio paths. A dedicated send level knob controls the signal strength entering both loops or functions as a clean volume boost and attenuation control when no effects are connected. This architecture enables parallel effects processing, clean blending, mixing two instruments without a traditional console, or splitting an input to two independent amplifiers.

Paraloop

Gears is many things, an overdrive, sub octave generator, and resonant filter with expression pedal input. What it means for the player is a device that allows you to emulate many familiar synth sounds, as well as create brand new ones.

The overdrive is a fixed sound that can be mixed from silent to LOUD. This signal is fed into a clock divider, which puts out a Square wave (or two) we can mix into the output. This audio travels on to the aggressive filter section. There’s also a drive control allowing you to play nice with the filter, or just slam audio up against it. The filter also sneaks into self oscillation, for a little bit of extra noise, if you so desire.

The expression pedal input allows foot control over the „Freq“ knob, and is the most magic trick in this new box. Electronic „wubs“ familiar „wahs“ and plenty of other new sounds are effortlessly dialed in and modulated with your foot.

Gears

A combination Attack/Release envelope generator and resonant filter. The envelope is triggered by tapping the left footswitch, rather than depending on some "pick dynamic" detecting circuit which ALMOST NEVER WORKS. (and you can't put it in the middle of a note's decay, or modulate a drone with it)

Depressing the switch engages the attack stage of the envelope. Holding your foot as long as you like is the decay stage (That's like a bonus, it's not even in the name!) sustaining the envelope at whatever DEPTH you have dialed in on the knob of the same name. Releasing the switch will engage the Release stage of the envelope, and your filter will ramp back down to it's knob-set-position.

The filter section has a familiar array of controls. Cutoff, resonance, and drive. You can use the drive knob to boost a quiet signal, tame a loud one, and often add grit to your input.

The filter can also be coaxed into a very rude self oscillation. Of course.

Review by Premier Guitar

Seit gut 10 Jahren hat Dwarfcraft das Eau Claire Thunder Effektpedal in der Mache. Es ist grundlegend ein Big Muff Distortion bzw. Fuzz. Die Gold Standard Version hat aber ein paar Eigenheiten, die unter Fans sicher für offene Münder sorgen könnten.

The Dwarfcraft Eau Claire Thunder is the result of my wish to rectify a few issues I’ve had with other muff-style fuzz boxes, notably a mid scoop.
“But Old Pal Aen, some times I need to scoop teh midz for my metal tonez!”
While I can’t say that I ever find that useful, ECT will do that as well. When stomping on the “BYPASS” switch, you will be in familiar fuzzbox territory. Volume, Tone, and Distortion are all active, as well as the “TIMEWARP” toggle, which flips between the traditional hi-fi type sound and a more blunted, ummm, stoner-rocky type sound.
“TONEBLAST” bypasses the tone control, giving you more mids and a bunch more volume. At any time, you can tap the “feedback” stomper to trigger a momentary integrated feedback loop, because I like noise.

Eau Claire Thunder

Dwarfcraft Devices is ready to spread some Happiness, in the form of a multi-mode filter pedal, packed to the gills with features. Happiness opens a new world of synth inspired tones and textures with low pass, band pass, and high pass filtering. The filter is modulated with an internal triangle based LFO or external CV patched in, and a “scramble” circuit, akin to a sample and hold.

Expression jacks for filter cutoff and LFO speed are along the top panel, and CV in and out are on the sides.  Happiness internally converts the industry standard 9v power supply to +/-12V for seamless integration with Eurorack modular synth systems, and Dwarfcraft’s CV capable devices.  All these features are packed into the same tall enclosure used by the twin stags, to maximize controls while minimizing footprint.
