Hall of Fame 2 X4

Es war der Oktober im Jahr 1971, als die Mannen von Pink Floyd ihr berühmtes Werk „Live at the Pompeii“ im Amphitheater der gleichnamigen italienischen Stadt aufnahmen. Stets mit dabei war eines der wohl angesagtesten Effektgeräte der damaligen Zeit – das Binson Echorec. Wohl kaum ein anderes Gerät prägte so maßgeblich den Sound von Pink Floyd der frühen Jahre wie dieses Echogerät, dessen Prinzip auf einer rotierenden Magnetscheibe basierte, die mit vier Tonköpfen das Signal aufnahm bzw. abspielte. Dabei machte nicht nur Leadgitarrist Dave Gilmour vom Echorec gebrauch, auch Bassist Roger Waters und Tastenmann Richard Wright nutzen diese Maschine ausgiebig.

The Binson Echorec was so cool we had no choice but to bring it back. And we wanted to bring it back right. We wanted to take all the goodness of that huge Binson Echorec and squeeze it down into a standard sized stompbox without losing anything. In fact, in addition to not losing any of the qualities that made it such a compelling musical device, we wanted to EXTEND its capabilities because the original Binson hinted at possibilities that it couldn’t realize. We’re talking about variable delay time! We thought, “What if we had the same four playback head concept but could stretch the delay time out beyond the 300mS of the original Binson?” Then the rhythmic patterns suggested by the various combinations of those four playback heads could really come to life!

Das Catalinbread Reverb-Pedal hat das gleichnamige Programm des Yamaha FX500 Multieffektgeräts aus den 90er-Jahren zum Vorbild. Maßgeblichen Anteil hatte dieser Ambient-Reverb am Sound der britischen Band Slowdive auf ihrem Album Souvlaki, das heute unter Fans des sogenannten Shoegaze-Stils als absoluter Klassiker gilt. Und das, obwohl die Signalqualität des FX500 laut diverser Aussagen im Netz mit heutigen Maßstäben nicht mithalten kann.

With its roots in that patch, the Catalinbread Soft Focus is intended to be an instant shoegaze button, while addressing the most glaring issues of the original unit: no mix control, a sub-par preamp, and a ghastly tone-sucking bypass signal. At its heart, the Soft Focus is a heavily modified plate reverb with adjustable time, which is subsequently split into three paths. One path contains a multi-voiced chorus modulator, another features a well-appointed octave-up mixed in with the reverb, and the third path leaves the reverb untouched.

Note - The Soft Focus runs from 9 to 18 volts using a standard DC center-negative power supply for pedals. Make sure you’re using a supply that provides at least 100mA. Running the Soft Focus at 9V will sound great, but if you want a bit more output, a dry signal boost and increased headroom, try any voltage you like up to 18V! The Soft Focus does not run on batteries.

BL-44 is a reverse pedal within our BL line. It is a real-time reverse delay, constantly reading backwards what you put into it forwards. With control over the system clock, the user can affect delay time and overall quality of the delay, from fast playback to slow, degraded buffers. It is simple in control and surprising in sound.

The ARP-87 is a compact, feature-rich delay, packed with a large pallet of inspirational delay tones. Featuring four main algorithms, digital, analog, lo-fi, and slap back, the ARP-87 can cover some serious ground in the world of echoes.

The Digital algorithm boasts pristine, crystal clear repeats great for rhythmic riffs. The Analog setting works well to add warmth and dimension to chords and lines without getting in the way. The Lo-Fi algorithm, with its adjustable frequency range on the repeats, goes from warm, warped, and murky, to strait AM radio. Finally, the Slap setting makes it easy to dial in a great slap back echo perfect for smoking chicken pickin’ runs. With other features like our smart bypass switching, and momentary knob ramp, the ARP-87 provides endless creative opportunities that are waiting to be explored.

When designing the temperature controlled fuzz, we tried some unusual approaches. One false start utilized a voltage controlled error correction circuit to bias a single germanium transistor. It ultimately didn’t work for the fuzz, which is comically sensitive to transistor gain attributes. 

We did find a place for it though. 

It turns out it was PERFECT for achieving a germanium clean boost that, (like our fuzz) is impervious to component drift, leakage, and temperature....moreso in fact. We also fixed a couple other issues preventing the germanium transistor from being used as a convinc- ing linear boost...we increased the input headroom (even a normal guitar signal will drive a germanium transistor into unwanted input distortion without some tweaks) and increased the input impedance (a BJT transistor would normally thin out bass frequencies and interact negatively with whatever flows into it). 

The result is a germanium clean boost that can utilize a germanium transistor WITHOUT the weird artifacts that were previously accepted as part of the deal...temperature sensitivity, drift, and suboptimal input impedance and headroom. 

After the boost is first powered up, it takes about ten seconds before the error correction circuit correctly biases the germanium transistor After this things get interesting....we can hear how having the boost engaged makes guitar signals sound more musical...even when set at the same volume as the bypassed tone. Notes are given a simultaneously smoother and more detailed character, like a compressor but different. Some people we’ve shown it to have noted that it appears to deemphasize the unwanted parts of a signal and enhance the good. It’s killer on bass. It helps acoustic guitar pickups sound more natural. And of course it’ll push your amp into a frenzy.

The PRS Mary Cries optical compressor pedal is intuitive and sounds incredible. Based on the storied LA-2A, Mary Cries will thicken your tone, help control signal peaks, lengthen sustain, and push your tone without losing definition or clarity. Depending on your settings, it can be used as a boost as well as a straightforward compressor.

Der Lightspeed Organic Overdrive ist ein Overdrive mit sehr natürlichem Klang. Warum „organisch“? Nun, einfach gesagt, es ist der klarste, natürlichste und beste Overdrive, den wir je gehört haben, für Spieler, die einen natürlichen Drive-Sound suchen. Dieses Pedal harmoniert mit dem Klang der Gitarre und des Verstärkers und hat satte Obertöne und komplexes, aber sanftes Clipping. Der Lightspeed Overdrive reagiert empfindlich auf den Anschlag des Plektrums und hat ein anderes „Gefühl“ als andere Overdrives. Der Lightspeed kann auf „transparent“ eingestellt werden, kann Ihr Signal aber auch bis an den Rand treiben.

The Lightspeed Organic Overdrive is a very natural sounding overdrive. Why "organic"?  Well, simply put, it's the clearest, most natural feeling, and best overdrive we've heard for the player looking for a natural drive tone.  Blending with the tone of the guitar and amplifier, this pedal has rich harmonics and complex but smooth clipping. The Lightspeed Overdrive is sensitive to pick attack and has a different "feel" than other overdrives. The Lightspeed can be set to be "transparent," but can also drive your signal to the edge.

You asked for it…we went to work…it’s wonderful.

The Black Tiger Delay Device is an amazing delay pedal. What would happen if you took the sound of two vintage tape delays, and sprinkled in a bit of sound from a vintage oil-can delay? Well…you’d be in delay heaven, or at least we think so. So, that’s what we did! After countless requests for a Greer Amps delay, we’ve finally answered the call. We took the time to engineer this delay to have the sound and feel of those vintage delays, with some added touch sensitivity. The front end of the Black Tiger is structured in a way that lets the nuances of your playing come through. If you’re looking for a delay that has the warmth of vintage studio equipment, with some slight grain on the repeats, then look no further. The Black Tiger is the answer.

Das EarthQuaker Devices Ghost Echo ist ein Vintage-Reverb-Gerät, das entwickelt wurde, um den atmosphärischen Charakter klassischer röhrenbetriebener Federhall-Einheiten zu emulieren. Diese analog-digitale Hybrid-Schaltung nutzt einen einzigartigen Pre-Delay-Bereich von 30 ms bis 150 ms, um alles von subtiler Raumatmosphäre bis hin zu tiefen, höhlenartigen Echos zu erzeugen. Durch die Trennung des ersten Anschlags vom verhallten Signal ermöglicht es präzise Slapback-Töne, die bei schnellem Spiel artikuliert bleiben. Die aktuelle V3-Version verfügt über verbesserte Operationsverstärker für einen geringeren Rauschanteil und einen neu kalibrierten Dwell-Regler, der zur Selbstoszillation fähig ist. Eine spezielle Zusammenarbeit mit dem Kreativstudio Brain Dead führte zu einer limitierten Edition mit individuellem, psychedelischem Artwork.

The EarthQuaker Devices Ghost Echo is a vintage-voiced reverb unit designed to emulate the haunted, atmospheric character of classic amp-top spring tanks. This analog/digital hybrid circuit utilizes a unique pre-delay range of 30ms to 150ms to create everything from subtle room ambiance to deep, cavernous echoes. By separating the initial attack from the reverberated signal, it allows for distinct slapback tones that remain articulate during fast playing. The current V3 iteration features upgraded op-amps for a lower noise floor and a recalibrated dwell control capable of reaching self-oscillation. A specialized collaboration with the creative studio Brain Dead resulted in a limited edition version featuring custom psychedelic artwork.

The magical combination of tremolo and reverb is the earliest example of a perfect guitar effects marriage. First pioneered within historic amplifiers of the 1960s, this harmonious coexistence has made its way onto countless records and performances — from early surf, swampy bayou blues, spaghetti westerns and film noir soundtracks, to modern day indie rock. As music moves forward, guitarists continue rediscovering the inspiration provided by this perfect pair.

Flint is a studio-class effects pedal that delivers this classic combination. We carefully studied our favorite classic tremolo and reverb circuits, examined the sonic complexities and faithfully accounted for every detail in our hand-crafted algorithms. Flint is essentially two pedals in one, with tremolo on one half and reverb on the other.

Float is a dual analog filter pedal. It features two independent filters, independently controllable and routable as stereo, parallel mono, or series mono. Digital control opens up tweakable motion from envelopes and LFOs, or stick with a fixed filter and slide the cutoff as if you’ve just added a synth to your pedalboard. It’s the filter tool greater than the sum of its parts.

Stereo Routing-, Split- und Zusammenfühurngs-Pedal. Zwei TRS-IN/OUTs, vier TS-IN/OUTs. Passives Pedal, Strom nur für LEDs benötigt. Typische Anwendung ist z. B., wenn aus einem Stereopedal zwei Mono-Ausgänge kommen, das nächste Signal in der Kette aber nur einen Stereo-Eingang hat. Das T- und R-Signal werden dann einfach zu einem TRS zusammengeführt. 

Split | Meld Is a passive, non-summing, non-destructive way to manage parallel dual-mono and stereo signal paths. 

Split | Meld is an audio routing solution. 

Split | Meld consists of 2 pairs of a TRS (or Stereo) Jack & 2 TS Mono jacks.
The TIP & RING of each TRS jack is routed to a corresponding Mono jack.

Use SPLIT | MELD to route your parallel signal path in a myriad of ways—Especially useful with devices that have TRS input & dual-mono output.

Beam Splitter takes one signal and makes three copies of it, each with differing overdrive voices and delay times. It is specifically our way of creating a huge sound out of a regular one. Output can be kept in parallel mono or split individually to three places. While the goal is singular bigness, you can also find strange filters, flangers, lo-fi vibratos, and trailing slap-back echoes using the delay controls and blending everything to taste.
