A pedal version of the preamp section from a vintage Revox reel-to-reel tape recorder.
This classic edition Reel Deal preamp faithfully recreates the phenomenal preamp from a Revox reel-to-reel tape recorder.

To the original circuit, I have added a tone switch called "Tape speed" that either:
- allows full frequency,
- cuts bass to focus on the mids, or
- cuts more bass to make a treble booster effect.

Additionally, there is an "overload" light that responds to the signal, and gets brighter the more distortion is introduced.

This circuit is really special and adds a lot of color and fullness. It sounds great with guitar, bass and vocals, lending a warm vintage texture to anything that passes through it.

ANALOGER VIBRATO/PHASER
Eine Stereo-Version unseres beliebten Modells 33, neu aufgelegt mit Stereo-Eingangs-/Ausgangsbuchsen und zwei XLR-Ausgängen.

Ein wunderschönes, authentisches analoges Vibrato, das von einem langsamen Warp, der an alte VHS-Kassetten oder ein Leslie-Kabinett erinnert, bis hin zu ultraschnellem Wobble alles bietet. Geht runter zu ultralangsamen Geschwindigkeiten und hoch zu einem ultraschnellen Puls.

Implementiert einen sinusförmigen LFO für authentisches Vibrato, ohne Verzögerung.
Mit dem Phase-Poti können Sie ein trockenes Signal zumischen und einen Phaser-Sound erzeugen.
Das rote Leuchtjuwel pulsiert in der Geschwindigkeit des Vibratos,


ANALOG VIBRATO/ PHASER
A stereo version of our beloved Model 33, brought back fresh with stereo input/output jacks and dual XLR output.

A beautiful authentic analog vibrato that gives you everything from a slow warp akin to old VHS tapes or a Leslie cabinet, all the way to ultra-fast wobble. Goes down to ultra slow speeds, and up to an ultra-fast pulse.

Implements a sinusoidal LFO, for authentic vibrato, there is no delay involved.
Use the phase pot to mix in dry signal and get a phaser sound.
The red light jewel pulses to the speed of the vibrato,

Model 66

Eine Stereo-Pedalversion der Vorverstärkersektion eines Vintage-Reel-to-Reel-Tonbandgeräts von Revox, mit unserem Modell 33 Smooth Vibrato, um ernsthaft wackelige Tapesounds zu erzielen.
Aufgrund der Beliebtheit des Reel Dealuxe als „always on“-Sound für viele Templo-Benutzer war es klar, dass eine Stereoversion angeboten werden musste, die sich speziell an diejenigen richtet, die den einzigartigen Sound zu Aufnahmezwecken nutzen. 

Also packte ich zwei Reel Dealuxes in eine Box, entfernte die Fußschalter und fügte ein paar ausgefallene Extras hinzu, darunter die beiden neuen Schalter, von denen einer die Richtung des Vibratos umkehrt und der andere beide Vibratos miteinander verbindet, um ein interessantes, instabiles Pulsieren und Wackeln zu erzeugen.


A stereo pedal version of the preamp section from a vintage Revox reel-to-reel tape recorder, with our Model 33 Smooth vibrato built in to get some seriously wobbly tape sounds.
Due to the popularity of the Reel Dealuxe as an "always on" sound for many Templo users, it became clear it was necessary to offer a stereo version aimed squarely at those using its unique sound for recording purposes. 

So I put two Reel Dealuxes in the same box, got rid of the footswitches and added a few funky extras, including the two new switches, one of which reverses one of the vibrato's sweep direction and the other links both vibratos together to get some interesting unstable pulsing and lurching.

Ausgehend von der visuellen Inspiration alter Geräte und einer Vintage-DIY-Schaltung liefert der INCANDESCENT eine einzigartige Art der Sättigung. Dieses Pedal bringt deine Obertöne zum Leuchten! 

Der Ausgangspunkt ist ein CMOS-Overdrive mit eingebauter Kompressionserweiterung aus demselben Chip. Nach einigen Klangoptimierungen und der Hinzufügung eines leistungsstarken MOSFET-Boosts am Eingang singt es mit reichen Obertönen und subtiler röhrenartiger Wärme und Durchbiegung.


Starting from the visual inspiration of old gear and a vintage DIY circuit, the INCANDESCENT delivers a unique type of saturation. This pedal makes your harmonics shine! 

The starting point is a CMOS overdrive with built in compression expansion from the same chip. After some tone tweaking and the addition of a powerful MOSFET boost on the input, it sings with rich harmonics and subtle tube-style warmth and sag.

STEREO COMPRESSION/BOOST (Heavily colored, Mild Distortion)

I spotted a diode compressor circuit in an electronics magazine from 1966. It was very rudimentary and had a few design errors. I built one and immediately loved it. It was muffled and smooth and changed the sound of my guitar in a noticeable way. It reminded me of the way cassette tape squeezes and expands your instrument.

So I changed a few things to reduce white noise and get better performance, added a VU to roughly show the squish, and then added a whole second circuit in the same box to run in stereo. Then add in dual XLR outputs for good measure and I figured this thing should cover anything from pedalboard color box to studio gadget. 

The input volume knob adds gain before the diodes, so the higher it is, the harder the squeeze. At the highest 1/4 of the input volume control it starts to distort in a pleasant way. It's not going to win fuzz pedal of the year, but there's some tasty sparkle to make things interesting.
