We no longer need to introduce this famous circular fuzz pedal, which produced the iconic sound of many guitarists in the 60’s.
With its two volume and gain controls forming a smiling face, it offers a unique sound going from a creamy and dynamic fuzz to a powerful and punchy fuzz with sharp trebles.

The extremely simple circuit offers a lot of space for customization, hence our own interpretation of the mythical pedal with the Feed Me.
The Feed Me mk3 is ultra versatile and customizable. You can get the classic sound of the 60’s model, rich in trebles and sustain.
But also a thick and fat fuzz, for more modern sounds close to stoner tones. Or a garage rock style gated fuzz by using the Crack and Smash controls for a velcro texture.
While remaining ultra expressive and responsive as always to the guitar’s volume and tone controls, with the Feed control, for warm cleans.

Bass is the bedrock of your band, and the Two Notes ReVolt Bass's all-analog signal path, complete with a 12AX7 preamp tube — run at a healthy 200V — ensures a stand-out sound in any application. The ReVolt Bass's three channels deliver the full gamut of tones, from high-headroom cleans to old-school dirt to modern drive. You also get an integrated Dry/Wet blend for extra tone-shaping power. An analog speaker simulation ensures a polished, miked-cab sound, both onstage and in the studio. Integrating the ReVolt Bass with the rest of your rig is a cinch, thanks to a 4-cable mode, an FX loop, and MIDI I/O. This bass preamp pedal also includes a collection of ten DynIRs for situations where you need more DI flexibility. Bassists searching for a robust, made-to-move solution for their pedalboards and fly rigs will get tons of mileage out of the Two Notes ReVolt Bass.

When we released our original Compressor back in 2011, it quickly became a favourite among guitar and bass players alike who were searching for something more than the typical oversimplified controls found on most compressor pedals. Although our original Compressor sounded great on bass (and still does!) we set out to do even better. 
On top of the full range of features and controls normally only seen in high end studio equipment, such as input and gain reduction metering, independent attack and release controls, a mix knob for parallel compression, and an external sidechain insert, we’ve now added a fully variable sidechain high pass filter, and a two position ‘tone + colour’ circuit which adds gentle tone sculpting and harmonic distortion, giving your bass some delicious character.

Die Cioks DC7 Mehrfach-Stromversorgung für Effektpedale stellt im Vergleich zu anderen Geräten dieser Art jeder Menge Energie bereit. Und das in einem flachen Gehäuse, das sogar unter ein Pedaltrain Nano Board passt. Das stattliche Kraftwerk bietet laut Angaben des dänischen Herstellers bei 9 Volt massive 4620 mA Strom und wäre damit rein rechnerisch in der Lage, ca. 577 Tubescreamer-Pedale (!) in Betrieb zu halten.

If you use effects pedals, whether on stage or in the studio, running them from a high-quality power supply is essential to getting the best performance and lowest noise out of them. The best power supplies have regulated, electrically isolated outputs, and that gives the same electrical separation as when running the pedals from batteries — but without the obvious disadvantages! There are several excellent power supplies available that offer such features, but CIOKS have managed to come up with an incredibly compact solution, seemingly without compromising on quality or flexibility.

CIOKS 4 Expander is the perfect companion to CIOKS DC7 in case you would like four additional outlets with four selectable voltages on each tap (9, 12, 15 and 18V DC) which can each deliver 660mA at 9V DC. Simply connect CIOKS 4 Expander to your CIOKS DC7 via the courtesy 24V outlet and you are good to go.

But that is definitely not all – what makes CIOKS 4 Expander truly unique is the fact that you can power it with anything from 9V to 24V DC or 9V to 12V AC via the non-polarized DC socket input. Furthermore CIOKS 4 can even be powered by connecting it to a USB powerbank via its 5V USB C input or by using a tablet or laptop power supply with a USB C plug. This flexibility means that you can use CIOKS 4 Expander as a stand-alone unit and power it with almost any adapter including the 1-SPOT or GigRig Generator. You can also use the 24V output on a Strymon Zuma unit to power the CIOKS 4 Expander. It can also convert an unused AC outlet on your existing power supply into 4 isolated DC outlets.

Das Low Pass Filter-Pedal kann dazu verwendet werden, raue Höhen, wie z. B. das Summen von Bünden, Saitengeräusche und Artefakte von anderen Effekten, wie z. B. Verzerrerpedalen, zu dämpfen. Es ist auch nützlich, um den Hochtonabfall von Lautsprecherboxen zu simulieren. In seiner extremsten Einstellung kann der Tiefpassfilter ein Bassgitarrensignal in einen Low-End-Dub-Sound verwandeln.
Der Tiefpassfilter ist ein Hochfrequenzfilter mit 12 dB pro Oktave. Der Drehregler steuert die Cutoff-Frequenz und reicht stufenlos von 15 kHz bis 220 Hz.

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.

The Scream Bass is our "Never-Off" version of the Screamer Bass.

It is a “clean” overdrive with about twice the gain of your average tube screamer-style pedal. It offers much more clarity than a typical overdrive, and is voiced to help maintain the low end of your signal.

Like the Screamer Bass, it has the Clip Selector, which allows you to select either silicon, LED, or Schottky clipping!

Der EHX Bass Micro Synthesizer ist ein reiner Bassgitarren-Synthesizer mit vollständig analoger Schaltung. Einstellbare Synthesizer-Parameter erzeugen satte, kraftvolle Klänge aus einer anderen Welt.  

Die Voice-Mix-Sektion ermöglicht die Mischung aus vier verschiedenen Stimmen: Sub-Octave, Guitar, Octave und Square Wave. Besonders die Square Wave sorgt für den charakteristischen, fuzzigen Klang des Bass Micro Synthesizers, der an den kosmischen Sound der 70er Jahre erinnert.  

Mit der Attack-Decay-Steuerung lassen sich gestrichene Effekte oder bedrohliche Lautstärkeschwankungen erzeugen, während die Filter-Sweep-Sektion das gesamte Frequenzspektrum durchläuft – von schnellen, präzisen Schnitten von Hoch nach Tief bis hin zu langsamen, fließenden Anstiegen von Tief nach Hoch.

Die JHS Colour Box V2 ist ein Preamp / DI-Box nach dem Vorbild legendärer Neve Studio-Konsolen. Das Pedal wurde entwickelt um den authentischen Sound eines Instruments (oder Mikrofons) am Direct-In der Mischpulte zu reproduzieren, dabei bietet die Colour Box V2 alle Features der beliebten V1-Version und kommt zusätzlich mit einer Vielzahl an Verbesserungen und neuen Features, die das Pedal zu einem perfekten Allrounder und Always-On Pedal für alle denkbaren Instrumente und sogar für Sänger machen. Zu den neuen Features zählen eine erweiterte EQ-Sektion, ein Hi/Lo Schalter für massiven, cleanen Headroom und die Möglichkeit 48V Phantom-Power an Kondensator-Mikrofone weiterzugeben. Die Gain-Sektion (Rot) bietet Regelmöglichkeiten Master, Pre-Vol und Step. Master kontrolliert das Gesamt-Volume des Pedals, Pre-Vol arbeitet als Gain-Regler zwischen den beiden internen Gain Stages und bietet bei Bedarf eine Verzerrung, die von leichten Break-Up-Sounds bis zu Fuzz reicht. Der Step-Regler verändert das Gain der Preamp Stages in fünf Schritten. Der Hi/Lo Schalter verändert den cleanen Headroom des Pedals, der -20 dB Pad Schalter passt den Input bei Bedarf an Mikrofone mit einem hohen Ausgangspegel an. Die EQ-Sektion (Blau) wurden neben den bekannten Regler für Treble, Middle und Bass (+/- 17 dB Cut / Boost in jedem Band) um drei Shift-Regler erweitert, die den Frequenzbereich der einzelnen Regler anpassen. Die Hi-Pass-Sektion wird über den Kippschalter aktiviert. Um das Pedal so flexibel wie möglich zu halten steht ein kombinierter XLR/TRS Input zur Verfügung.

The JHS Colour Box V2 has all the same functionality of the popular V1 version with many new and improved additions like expanded EQ controls, a Hi/Lo switch for massive clean headroom, and the ability to pass phantom power to your condenser mics. The Gain section in red has three controls: Master, Pre-Vol, and Step. The Master volume controls the overall volume of the unit. The Pre-Vol controls the amount of gain between the two internal gain stages. This acts as a "drive" or "gain" control, adding more grit, distortion, and even fuzz as you increase the gain. The Step control increases the gain of each preamp stage in five stages. Rotating the Step knob from left-to-right will increase the gain by the following: 1st is +18 dB, 2nd is +23 dB, 3rd is +28 dB, 4th is +33 dB, 5th is +39 dB. The JHS Colour Box V2 has a new Hi/Lo switch to control the amount of clean headroom you have available. In the Lo mode, you will easily be able to get ultra clean sounds without breakup. Lo Mode is excellent for tone shaping when distortion is not needed. In the Hi mode, the Colour Box V2 will distort much more readily, giving you a broad spectrum of overdrive, distortion, and fuzz sounds. In addition to the Hi / Lo gain switch, there is a -20 dB pad switch on the right side of the Colour Box V2. This function only works when in XLR input mode and can help tame the volume for high output microphones. The EQ section in blue has three new Shift controls correlating to its standard Treble, Middle and Bass controls. The Shift knobs adjust the range of frequencies that the Treble, Middle, and Bass knobs control. The center frequencies for the Shift knobs are Treble 10kHz, Middle 1kHz, and Bass 120Hz, while the Treble, Middle, and Bass knobs boost or cut with +/- 17 dB of control. If you want to boost high-mid frequencies, turn the Mid Shift knob to 3 o'clock or above and increase the Middle knob above 12 o'clock. If you want to cut upper treble frequencies, turn the Treble Shift knob to 3 o'clock or above and set the Treble knob below 12 o'clock. The Shift knobs give you precision control over the EQ for anything you put through the Colour Box V2. The Hi-Pass section is enabled by the toggle switch below the Hi-Pass knob. Just flip it up to engage the Hi-Pass knob, which spans from 60Hz to 800Hz with a 6dB per octave slope. The Colour Box V2 has a combination XLR and 1/4" input jack to use either an instrument or microphone. Select your input with the input selector switch on the right side of the pedal labeled INST/XLR.

A fully analog stereo loop switcher designed to break boundaries. 
Each stereo loop can be broken up into 2x mono loops with an Y-cable and in the looper used as 2x complete independent mono loops (Y-TRS-Cables). As these cannot be displayed in this tool (but often used to double the loops on big boards) we configured in this tool 3 stereo connections as 6x mono loops.

The micro-Thumpinator is a bandwidth optimizer designed for bass guitar. It removes the low frequency signals that are outside the range of notes produced by the instrument.

Infrasonic frequencies cannot be reproduced by standard bass cabinets but they often make amplifiers clip, especially when they are set to boost the lower frequencies. The Thumpinator filters the signal content optimising the energy delivered by the amplifier. Low-frequency clip is substantially reduced and the sound is tighter especially at high volume levels.

The micro-Thumpinator accepts instrument and line level signals. It can be used between preamplifier and amplifier, between bass and amplifier or anywhere in the effect chain (line or instrument level). It can also be connected directly to an audio interface.

Die New Yorker Company Aguilar ist seit 1995 nicht mehr aus der Szene wegzudenken. Damals war in der New Yorker Bassistenszene plötzlich ein Gerät einer noch unbekannten Marke in aller Munde: der Aguilar DB 680, ein Highend-Röhren-Preamp, welcher qualitativ höchsten Ansprüchen gerecht wurde und auf den Erfahrungen des professionellen Session-Bassisten Dave Boonshoft und des Amp-Spezialisten Alex Aguilar basierte. Beflügelt vom Erfolg des DB 680 und den positiven Rückmeldungen der Szene entstand zur damaligen Zeit die Firma Aguilar Amplification, die bis heute für edlen amerikanischen Basssound steht. Seit 1995 hat sich freilich sehr viel getan – vor allem wurde das Portfolio deutlich erweitert. Heutzutage baut Aguilar Amps, Boxen, Pickups, Elektroniken und Effektpedale. Und ein neuer Spross eben dieser Pedale liegt mir heute zum Test vor: der Grape Phaser!

The 4-stage analog Grape Phaser is a fairly simple pedal with just two dials: rate and color. It’s a solid, high-quality stompbox with a sturdy bypass switch and nice rubber control knobs. The pedal’s rate knob can take the speed of the modulation from a long and luxurious slow sweep all the way up to super-fast alien helicopter sounds. The color control feeds a portion of the signal back through the phase-shifting circuit. The Grape runs on 9V DC from your favorite universal power supply, but accepts a battery, too. The battery is accessed through a clever metal drawer that’s conveniently released with one Phillips screw. The pedal also features what Aguilar calls “gig-saver” bypass, which means if/when power to the pedal is lost, the signal is still passed through the bypassed pedal. I think that feature could really live up to its name! And, of course, the pedal is grape colored.

The Octamizer ® is an analog octave divider that creates a wide range of musical sounds an octave below your original note.
The Octamizer ® features independent volume controls for both the Clean and Octave sounds, so dialing in the exact amount of each is a cinch. The two discrete signal paths also have their own tone controls that were specifically designed to enhance and expand their musical possibilities.
The CLEAN TONE control uses a full spectrum tilt EQ, allowing for the boosting of treble while cutting bass and vice versa. This unique circuit allows you to create a clean sound that creates an octave doubling effect or to blend the sounds together for a great thick, snarky synth tone.

Der Filter Twin® verwendet zwei identische Filter, die in entgegengesetzte Richtungen arbeiten. Einer für die unteren Frequenzen und der andere für den oberen Frequenzbereich, um klassische 70s-inspirierte Funk-Sounds oder völlig neue und einzigartige Filter-Töne zu erzeugen. Zwei Filter, die zur gleichen Zeit arbeiten, liefern organischere, vokale Sounds und erlauben es so ausdrucksstarke neue Klänge zu formen.
Der Filter Twin® bietet einzigartige Filtereffekte und lässt sich sich über ein intuitives Vier-Knopf-Layout bedienen. Mit der ‚Blend‘-regelung können Sie die Mischung zwischen den Filtern einstellen. Die ‚Threshold‘-regelung bestimmt, wie empfindlich das Pedal auf unterschiedliche Spielstile reagiert. Die ‚Velocity‘-regler bestimmen die Geschwindigkeit jedes einzelnen Filters.

Two filters sweeping at the same time give you a more organic, vocal quality and allows you to get expressive new sounds that you can’t get from other pedals.

The Filter Twin®  offers unique filter effects via an intuitive four-knob layout. The BLEND control allows you to adjust the mix between the filters. The THRESHOLD control determines how sensitive the unit is to different playing styles. The VELOCITY controls determine the speed of each filter.
