Die neue Version des Alma Compressors bringt deinen Ton noch weiter… dorthin, wo du ihn wirklich hören kannst! Der Kompressor kann mit drei verschiedenen Kompressionsverhältnissen arbeiten, und zusammen mit seiner EQZ-Steuerung wirst du es schwer haben, einen schlechten Sound zu bekommen. Obendrauf bietet er eine ordentliche Portion Boost, um deinen Sound richtig anzufetten.

The Lusithand Alma Compressor is inspired by the legendary Diamond BCP-1 compressor and Diamond Bass Compressor JR. Like the Diamond BCP-1/Bass Compressor JR, the Alma is an optical compression engine with some definite improvements.

The Ground & Pound has been designed to combine the two pedals that Justin Chancellor uses to help achieve his signature distorted tone, the Turbo Rat with the Bass EQ, and it successfully combines them into a single box with a very compact and easy to use control layout.

We’ve also added a blend control, labelled ‘Mix‘,  which has a very musical compression ratio (2:1) on the clean signal. This mixes very well with the distorted sound and just adds to the overall playing experience.

Neptunium is, as its name implies, based on the Nobelium preamp, which is in turn based on the incredible Noble preamp. The key feature of Nobelium is the XLR D.I. output, which only uses one tube, so I was asked if it would be possible to squeeze just that part into a much smaller enclosure. The result is Neptunium.

Neptunium is a great-sounding, simple to use tube preamp with a D.I. output for going straight to front of house or a recording interface. It features a two-band tonestack based on the classic Fender/Marshall/Vox tonestack. Both controls are boost-only, so a “flat” response is achieved with both controls all the way off.

One way in which Neptunium differs from the Noble preamp is in volume controls; the volume control on the face affects the 1/4″ output, but rather than make the XLR output a fixed level, a separate volume control affecting the XLR output was added to the side of the pedal next to the XLR jack above the ground lift switch.

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.

DOOM 2 is an original fuzz circuit that turns your input signal into something resembling the sawtooth wave of a vintage synthesizer. Unlike most fuzz-style circuits, DOOM 2 responds to your playing technique and retains note dynamics.
New for version 2 is the you’re / your switch. You’re is the classic DOOM sound - strong upper harmonics, a mid-focused sound, and octavia / ring modulator effects as you play up the neck. Your is a new mode that has a stronger fundamental, more low end and fewer harmonics. This mode sounds more like a traditional fuzz.

The greatest pieces of studio gear studio gear are the ones that add something special to the sound of an instrument, going beyond the job they were designed for and enhancing anything that passes through the circuit. One such piece is the UA 610 preamp, which was the inspiration for the DCX Bass. This retro console preamp is famous for adding vintage, analogue colour to a signal, as well as precise control of level and EQ. Push the level harder and you get rich, harmonic saturation of the kind that makes analogue hardware a must-have in any present-day studio.

The DCX Bass reimagines this classic preamp as a tone-shaper and drive pedal for bass guitar, with a wide range of clean and overdrive tones, EQ frequencies optimised for the instrument, and our Adaptive Circuitry providing a treble response that reacts to playing dynamics. It’s a signal-boosting, tone-enhancing pedal straight from the studio!

JHS Pedals – Double Dragon Lo-Fi Oktavgerät.

In einer Welt perfekter digitaler Oktaven hat JHS Pedals bewusst auf die 40 - 50 Jahre alte, analoge Oktavteiler-Technologie zurückgegriffen. Das Double Dragon ist ein monophoner Oktav-Effekt, der die Klangcharakteristik legendärer Vintage-Oktavgeräte wie der MXR Blue Box, DOD Octoplus und Boss OC-2 nachbildet, aber mit einem eigenen Lo-Fi-Charme. Es lebt von einer warmen, analogen Klangqualität, die perfekt für kreative Musiker ist, die mehr als digitale Präzision suchen.

Der Sound des Double Dragon ist vollständig analog und bietet eine tiefe, fette Sub-Oktave, die als Grundlage dient, sowie eine höhere Oktave, die irgendwo zwischen einer Octavia und einem Superfuzz liegt. Diese Oktave ist grobkörnig und mit einem durchdringenden Midrange-Biss versehen, der sich durch den Mix schneidet. Der Effekt füllt den Raum aus und lässt deine Gitarre doppelt so groß klingen. Wenn Sie  Riffs spielen, werden Sie merken, dass der Sound lebendig wird und sich von einem typischen Effekt deutlich abhebt.

Das Double Dragon richtet sich besonders an Riff-Liebhaber und kreative Musiker, die das unperfekte, aber lebendige Spielgefühl der analogen Technik schätzen. Es ist perfekt für Fans von Bands wie Led Zeppelin, The White Stripes, Rage Against The Machine, Muse und Royal Blood. Auch Bassisten, die den Vintage-Sound eines OC-2 kennen, werden den Effekt zu schätzen wissen. Das Double Dragon bietet mehr als nur eine Oktave – es ist ein musikalischer Partner, der mit Ihnen spielt und nicht versucht, Sie perfekt zu replizieren.

Der Volume-Regler regelt den Master-Ausgangspegel und bietet zusätzlich einen Boost. Der Dry-Regler mischt Ihr sauberes Signal mit den Oktav-Effekten - von einem klaren bis hin zu einem vollständig ‚nassen‘, glitchigen Vintage-Synth-Sound. Der OCT−-Regler kontrolliert den Mix der tiefen Sub-Oktave, während der OCT+-Regler die obere Oktave und Verzerrung steuert, die über den rechten Fußschalter aktiviert wird. Der linke Fußschalter schaltet das Gerät ein und aus, der rechte aktiviert den OCT+-Effekt.

Das Double Dragon eignet sich besonders gut in Kombination mit Overdrive-Pedalen wie dem Tube Screamer, um den Mittenbereich zu verstärken, oder mit Fuzz, um maximalen Chaosfaktor zu erzeugen. Für eine synthähnliche Textur empfiehlt sich die Kombination mit Pitch-Vibrato. Die Tracking-Eigenheiten des Double Dragon kommen durch solche Kombinationen noch lebendiger und interessanter zur Geltung.

Das Double Dragon ist nicht nur ein Effektgerät, sondern ein kreativer Partner, der Ihren Sound verändert und mit Ihnen zusammen spielt. Es ist wild, unperfekt und klingt einfach lebendig.

JHS Pedals – Double Dragon Lo-Fi Octave Unit.

In a world of perfect digital octaves, JHS Pedals has deliberately gone back to 40-50-year-old analogue octave divider technology. The Double Dragon is a monophonic octave effect that replicates the sound characteristics of legendary vintage octave devices such as the MXR Blue Box, DOD Octoplus and Boss OC-2, but with its own lo-fi charm. It thrives on a warm, analogue sound quality that is perfect for creative musicians who are looking for more than just digital precision.

The Double Dragon's sound is completely analogue, offering a deep, fat sub-octave that serves as a foundation, as well as a higher octave that falls somewhere between an Octavia and a Superfuzz. This octave is grainy and has a piercing midrange bite that cuts through the mix. The effect fills the room and makes your guitar sound twice as big. When you play riffs, you'll notice that the sound comes alive and stands out from a typical effect.

The Double Dragon is aimed particularly at riff lovers and creative musicians who appreciate the imperfect but lively feel of analogue technology. It is perfect for fans of bands such as Led Zeppelin, The White Stripes, Rage Against The Machine, Muse and Royal Blood. Bassists who are familiar with the vintage sound of an OC-2 will also appreciate this effect. The Double Dragon offers more than just an octave – it's a musical partner that plays with you rather than trying to replicate you perfectly.

The Volume control adjusts the master output level and also provides a boost. The Dry control mixes your clean signal with the octave effects – from a clear to a completely “wet”, glitchy vintage synth sound. The OCT− knob controls the mix of the low sub-octave, while the OCT+ knob controls the upper octave and distortion, which is activated via the right footswitch. The left footswitch turns the unit on and off, while the right footswitch activates the OCT+ effect.

The Double Dragon is particularly well suited for use in combination with overdrive pedals such as the Tube Screamer to boost the midrange, or with fuzz to create maximum chaos. For a synth-like texture, we recommend combining it with pitch vibrato. The tracking characteristics of the Double Dragon come into their own even more vividly and interestingly with such combinations.

The Double Dragon is not just an effects unit, but a creative partner that changes your sound and plays along with you. It's wild, imperfect and simply sounds alive.

Das Empress Effects Bass ParaEq ist ein hochwertiges analoges parametrisches Equalizer- und Boost-Pedal, das speziell für Bassisten entwickelt wurde, die präzise Klangkontrolle suchen. Es verfügt über drei vollständig einstellbare parametrische EQ-Bänder mit variabler Q und ermöglicht eine Anhebung oder Absenkung von ±15 dB. Das Pedal beinhaltet Hochpass-, Tiefpass-, Tiefen- und Höhen-Shelving-Filter, die umfassende Frequenzformungsmöglichkeiten bieten. Ein fußschaltbarer Boost bietet bis zu 30 dB sauberen Gain, und das Pedal arbeitet intern mit 27V für außergewöhnlichen Headroom. Weitere Funktionen sind ein wählbarer 10MΩ Hi-Z-Eingang für Piezo-Tonabnehmer und ein automatisch erkennender symmetrischer Ausgang, was es sowohl für Live- als auch Studioanwendungen geeignet macht.

The Empress Bass ParaEq is the only parametric EQ pedal on the market built from the ground up for bass. It gives players studio-grade tone shaping in a compact pedal format that is purpose-built for low-end instruments, not just adapted from guitar gear.

Following the success of our Bass Compressor—and after hearing from countless players who were already using the ParaEq MKII Deluxe on bass—we knew it was time to give bassists more than a “good enough” EQ. The Bass ParaEq delivers the same transparent, tone-sweetening power that made the Deluxe a favourite, but with frequency ranges, filters, and features tailored specifically for bass.

With a dynamic low shelf, bass-tuned EQ bands, a Hi-Z input for upright players, and an auto-detecting balanced output, it’s built to give bassists the control they’ve always deserved—on stage, in the studio, everywhere.

Der LAB ist ein optischer Kompressor. Er verwendet spezielle Optokoppler, um eine musikalisch klingende Kompression von bis zu 30 dB zu erreichen.
Wir fanden es toll, wie die alten optischen Kompressoren wie der LA-2A, der LA-3 und der LA-4 im Aufnahmestudio selbst bei starker Kompression weich und natürlich klangen.

Die Essenz des LAB-Klangs kommt von den schnellen Attack- und langsamen Release-Zeiten des speziellen Optokopplers. Das Verhalten des Optokopplers ist recht komplex und programmabhängig. Es kann nicht mit einfachen Widerstands-Kondensator-Netzwerken modelliert werden. Wir wollten, dass das reine Verhalten des Optokopplers die Dynamik des LABs bestimmt und nicht durch RC-Filterung ergänzt wird.

The LAB is an optical compressor. It uses custom optocouplers to achieve up to 30dB of musical-sounding compression.
We loved how in the recording studio even with tons of compression the old optical compressors such as the LA-2A, the LA-3, the LA-4 sounded smooth and natural.

The essence of the LAB's sound comes from the fast attack and slow release times of the custom optocoupler. The optocoupler's behaviour is quite complex, and program-dependent. It can't be modelled with simple resistor-capacitor networks. We wanted the pure response of the optocoupler to define the LAB's dynamics, and not supplement that with RC filtering.

Der Morning Glory Clean ist eine konsequente Weiterentwicklung des klassischen Morning Glory Overdrives. Ziel war es, Transparenz, Dynamik und Anschlag weiter zu verbessern, ohne den vertrauten Charakter zu verlieren. Grundlage ist eine komplett neu entwickelte Schaltung mit parallelem Clean-Blend in Studioqualität, die Obertöne, leichte Kompression und Durchsetzungskraft des Overdrives mit dem vollen Bass- und Dynamikumfang des Clean-Signals kombiniert.

Der Clean-Regler arbeitet nicht als einfacher Mischregler, sondern ist integraler Bestandteil der Schaltung. Ein Doppelpotentiometer sorgt dafür, dass Clean- und Drive-Signal über alle Gain-Einstellungen hinweg proportional und phasenstabil zusammenlaufen – ohne Lautstärkesprünge. Der Tone-Regler wirkt ausschließlich auf den Overdrive-Pfad, das Clean-Signal bleibt jederzeit unverändert. Eine ±9V-Doppelversorgung bietet deutlich mehr Headroom als klassische Bluesbreaker-Schaltungen und ermöglicht einen klaren, offenen Sound bei jeder Lautstärke.

Der Morning Glory Clean eignet sich als erste Overdrive-Stufe, als dynamischer Always-On-Sound, vor Verzerrern oder Delays sowie vor Amp-Modelern. Auch für Bass ist er dank des Clean-Blend-Reglers flexibel einsetzbar. Das Pedal richtet sich an Spielerinnen und Spieler, die keinen radikal neuen Klang suchen, sondern maximale Qualität, Direktheit und sofort nutzbare Sounds ohne überflüssige Funktionen.

The Morning Glory Clean is a logical evolution of the classic Morning Glory overdrive. The goal was to further improve transparency, dynamics, and attack without losing its familiar character. At its core is a completely redesigned circuit with a studio-quality parallel clean blend, combining the harmonics, subtle compression, and punch of the overdrive with the full bass and dynamic range of the clean signal.

The clean control isn't a simple mix control; it's an integral part of the circuit. A dual potentiometer ensures that the clean and drive signals blend proportionally and in phase across all gain settings—without any volume jumps. The tone control affects only the overdrive path; the clean signal remains unchanged at all times. A ±9V dual power supply provides significantly more headroom than classic Bluesbreaker circuits, delivering a clear, open sound at any volume.

The Morning Glory Clean is suitable as a first overdrive stage, as a dynamic always-on sound, before distortion or delay pedals, and before amp modelers. Thanks to the clean blend control, it's also versatile for bass. This pedal is aimed at players who aren't looking for a radically new sound, but rather maximum quality, directness, and immediately usable sounds without unnecessary features.

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.

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.

The 23Fe was developed in 2023 in an effort to create a really bad transformer, while retaining somewhat of a decent frequency response, minimal insertion loss, and a robust enough build to handle getting tossed around without breakage.  Technically speaking, the worse a transformer performs, the more colorful it is.  Unfortunately with the 23Fe, it had a bit too many issues, so a revision was necessary.  During the manufacturing phase, the 23Fe had a 40% failure rate, which is obviously not good.  Furthermore, during the warranty period about 4% failed - also not good.  About 2% were returned because the buyer found it to be noisy and a small number of people reported they felt it was... believe it or not, "too colorful".  I can't please everyone, but I'm really trying with the new 23Fe+.
