Der SOMA '63 Vintage Preamp ist das erste Pedal in der XFR-Serie von Greer Amps und eröffnet eine neue Klangwelt. Der SOMA '63 ist ein echter Vintage-Preamp, der auf dem Klang und dem Gefühl von Vintage-Verstärkern der braunen Ära aus Kalifornien basiert. Dieses Pedal simuliert den gesamten Vorverstärker, den Phasenumkehrer, die Leistungssektion und sogar das Gefühl der alten 10-Zoll-Utah-Lautsprecher, die in diesen berühmten braunen Verstärkern waren. Der Tone Stack ist so konzipiert, dass er dem Benutzer eine breite und dynamische Palette von Klangoptionen bietet. Der Presence-Regler arbeitet mit dem Tone-Stack zusammen und ist als Weitbereichsregler ausgelegt, der den Gesamtsound der gesamten Schaltung beeinflusst. Der SOMA '63 verfügt über einen Stahlkern-Transformator im Audio-Signalweg. Der Transformator trägt zur Klangformung des gesamten Schaltkreises bei, und wenn die Verstärkung stark angehoben wird, insbesondere bei Tonabnehmern mit höherem Output, wird der kleine Stahlkern-Transformator in die Sättigung gehen, genau wie bei einem klassischen Verstärker. Der SOMA '63 kann als tonformende Vorstufe oder als Overdrive-Pedal verwendet werden. Das SOMA '63 bietet eine große Auswahl an Sounds.

A brave new world of tone, the SOMA ‘63 Vintage Preamp is the first pedal in the XFR series of pedals from Greer Amps. The SOMA ’63 is a true vintage preamp, based on the tone and feel of vintage brown era amplifiers from California. This pedal simulates the entire preamp, phase inverter, power section, and even the feel of the vintage 10 inch Utah speakers that were in those famous brown amps. The tone stack is designed to provide a wide and dynamic range of tonal options to the user. The Presence control works with the tone stack, and is designed to be a wide range control, effecting the overall sound of the entire circuit. The SOMA ’63 features a steel core transformer in the audio signal path. The transformer lends to the overall tone shaping of the circuit, and when the gain is pushed hard, especially with higher output pickups, the small steel core transformer will saturate, just like a vintage amplifier. The SOMA ’63 can be used as a tone-shaping preamp, or as an overdrive pedal. There are a wide variety of tones available in the SOMA ’63, so spend some time with your new pedal, and find the tones that rock your world!

The OCD was the first pedal to use Mosfets as clipping devices. Another first was their configuration as "hard clippers connected to v-ref" instead of to ground, as was the norm. These things contribute greatly as to why the OCD has such touch-sensitivity...why they react so well when the strings are hit hard or soft, and why they sound & feel different than all other pedals out there, 90% of which are just slight tweaks of the Tube Screamer.

Oft kopiert aber nie erreicht, rangiert das schwer zu findende, originale, Phase 90 bei den Sammlern alter Bodentreter ganz weit oben. Das Original - seit der Gründung der Firma Dunlop bis in die späten 70er Jahre erhältlich – definierte den klassischen Phase Shifter Sound und war in allen Musikstilen zu hören, egal ob Hard Rock, Jazz-Fusion oder Funk-Hits. Der nach dem Kultpedal der Firma designte Phaser kommt puritanisch mit einem Regler aus, über den der Phaser-Speed einstellbar ist. Eine rote LED über dem stabilen Fußschalter zeigt den Schaltstatus an. Das massive Spritzgußgehäuse verfügt über jeweils 1/4" Klinke In- und Out-Eingänge. Betrieben wird der Kulttreter mit einer 9V Batterie, die in einem leicht zugänglichen Batteriefach auf der Unterseite Platz findet. Es ist erhältlich in der ursprünglichen orangenen Farbe.

This device has found its way into many of Eddie Van Halen's recordings, adding a shimmery velocity to lead passages or a more dramatic swoosh to muted strumming. Not just for guitars; it works well with bass, keyboards and even vocals. Vary the speed from a subtle, long cycle to a fast, watery warble...and myriad vintage vibrations in between. Power: Single 9 volt battery or Dunlop ECB-003 AC Adapter - Controls: Footswitch toggles effect on/bypass (red LED indicates on) Speed knob varies rate of phase sweep

The new Pop Top Boost from Milkman Sound takes its inspiration from the classic American recording consoles of the 1970s. We designed a discrete Op Amp which fits the standard 2520 footprint and put it into a modern pedal enclosure for use with guitar or any other instrument that uses 1/4” phone connectors.
We designed the Pop Top to run at “unity gain” with the control set at zero. At unity you can hear the discrete op amp color and find a sweet spot without dropping any signal. There is enough headroom inside to use the Pop Top at the very end of a pedal chain even in tandem with other gain and boost pedals.

We listened, and decided to do you one better: here’s the Sandman, that brings together the Savage MkI (left footswitch with the large knobs)
and the FX Teacher Ego Driver, our own upgraded version of the classic mid-boost overdrive.
If you’re lusting after the beautiful vintage sound of the Savage MkI, there it is in all its original glory with the Germanium / Silicium switch in order to choose your clipping
(that switch was called Vintage / Modern on the original Savage), except now you can also push it way beyond its limits in terms of gain and mids.

The Ego Driver still has its very potent three-position tone switch (low-mids, mids, hi-mids)
that makes it much more versatile and allows the two parts of the Anasounds Sandman to sonically interact in many ways.

We’re always trying to offer you the best pedals we can build, and the components for the Savage MkI are getting harder to come by.
That is why the Sandman is a limited edition that you can order for the low price of 299 euros from June the 2nd to the 16th.
Once that period is over, you will get a second chance in September by buying it for 369 euros from stores that got it during those crucial two weeks.
After those two deadlines, the Sandman will once again become the dream it always was, except for the lucky ones who captured it on time.

BERSERK III expands on the circuit family tree that started with the octave section of ODIN. That same circuit can be configured in four different, equally useful and exciting ways. There’s a loud and strong octave fuzz, a precise and pointy octave fuzz, a wide and kind regular fuzz and a bright and loud regular fuzz. For ODIN II and now III, I used the loud octave fuzz and the kind regular fuzz, for a very fun 1-2-punch kind of live package. The regular fuzz lets you fall back into the mix and the octave fuzz allows you to punch through anything when needed.

The F-Stop brings two effects found in vintage American tube amplifiers into one pedal. The combination of a tube driven spring reverb with pulsating "bias" tremolo was first introduced in the early 1960s and has become a standard sound for guitar players and other instrumentalists ever since.

The F-Stop has been designed to bring classic tube amplifier effects into a small package that runs off of a 9VDC pedal power supply. Internally, the F-Stop has 18v of headroom so it can live as comfortably at the end of your signal chain as it does at the beginning. The spring portion of the pedal is digital, but the guitar signal path and tremolo circuit is 100% analog. 

The sound of bias tremolo and spring reverb is unmistakable, and the F-Stop uses modern electronics to achieve an authentic recreation of these effects with similar circuit topography as found in tube amplifiers.

The Amp Stereo is the newest release in Milkman Sound’s series of amplifiers in a pedal format. Following on the heels of The Amp and The Amp 100 we have a newly designed fully stereo amplifier design with many extra features that will surely make this amplifier an essential part of any musician’s toolkit.

There is now an elegant, analog, easy to use end of the chain solution for players using stereo effects featuring our cab sim sweetener, a stereo headphone amplifier and two powerful channels of amplification. On top of the stereo functionality, The Amp Stereo can be run as two independent amplifiers each powering separate channels of audio.

Use the built in footswitches to sum to mono and fix phase issues potentially created by wet/dry guitar setups or cabinets with reverse polarity. The two outputs can run into separate cabinets varying in impedance and wattage – for example a 4ohm bass cabinet can be powered by one side and 8ohm guitar cabinet by the other. The Amp Stereo has been designed to maximize headroom and serve as a foundation for all manner of instruments and effects.

Like all Milkman products, The Amp Stereo is built by hand in California with the finest components available.

The Amp Stereo

What is The Amp? First and foremost, it’s a 50W Guitar amplifier. The preamp is based around a single 12AX7 running at high voltage in a discrete Class A circuit. The tube preamp reacts with a guitar the same way any tube amplifier does: it generates harmonics and the sweet sounding high fidelity tone that tubes are known for. Along with tube EQ. there is on-board reverb and tremolo effects so that The Amp can be used as a grab and go amplifier. Foot switches for bypassing the effects are built in. A Class D power section delivers 50 watts into 8ohms, or 100 watts into 4ohms. The Speakon combination jack for speaker output takes either a standard 1/4” connection or a locking Speakon connector for extra security.

The Amp has an integrated headphone amplifier which sounds identical to the output from a speaker. This is perfect for practice, auditioning pedals, or for those times when noise is not appropriate. The Amp can operate with no speaker attached so it can live on a pedalboard and go wherever the pedals go. Speaking of travel, The Amp has a universal IEC power input. It can run from 100 to 260 VAC. No matter where it is on Earth, it can be plugged into a wall socket and used with no need for additional power accessories.

How about a compact studio quality tube preamp? The internal XLR output delivers a balanced line level output. There is no modeling or simulation involved, no menus or presets to give option anxiety. It is very straightforward and simple to get great tone from the tube preamp of The Amp and use it as the front end for a modeling system, recording setup, or for playing direct on stage.

The Amp also has “pedal level” output where it can be used as the front end of a pedal board or as an amp like effect on the back end of a pedal board. There is no substitute for the marriage between a magnetic guitar pickup and the first stage of a tube amplifier, and this is something that is missing with modern pedal board setups. Using The Amp in front of a pedal chain will add harmonics and tube musicality to the entire signal chain starting right where it matters most: between a guitar pickup and the grid of a tube.

Using The Amp further down the signal chain creates unique tonal possibilities. It plays well with pedals, and it can add extra EQ or reverb to an existing amplifier. The Amp can drive the input of an amplifier as an extra tube gain stage. It can be a backup for a vintage amp needing service, or used in place of anemic backline gear on your travel gig. At 2.5lbs, and with so many different uses, The Amp may be your new best friend.
