Dark Star is a lo-fi reverb aimed at slow attack and pad generation. Three modes introduce pitch shifting, delay, and bit crushing to the core voice of long, dark reverb. A hold switch allows infinite trails while the pedal is on. This is a reverb to go first in your signal chain, and almost an instrument of its own.

Resyn Thesis

Signal Blender is a parallel routing solution focused on blending sounds side by side rather than running them into each other. With two send/returns and independent switching over each send/return and the main clean signal, Signal Blender can be used as a parallel effect blender, 3-to-1 mixer, 1-to-3 splitter, active ABY, volume level setter, and more.

Controls include:

CLN, A, and B to set volume of the Clean input and each Return

Independent on/off for Clean (main input) and each Send/Return

Phase switch for each Send

True bypass from input to output when all sections are off

Soft-touch bypass footswitches for minimal switch noise

Reflector V3 is a dense lush chorus coupled with three modes of modulation. This was a chorus with a bent, an ephemeral voice floating between aural dimensions.
Controls included Rate and Depth for the chorus LFO, Mix for a balance between unaffected and affected signal, and Modulate for unique control in each mode: pitch shift, reverb blend, and filter depth. A three-way toggle switch allows the player to choose between three modes: Wrinkle, a deep chorus with an additional pitch shift from one octave down to one octave up; Washed, a simple lush chorus feeding into a reverb; and Mirrors, a chorus and moving filter linked via the chorus rate.

Darkglass hat den gleichen Aufbau wie beim B7K Ultra verwendet. Alle Potis und Hebelchen sitzen an der gleichen Stelle, auch die Fußschalter für Bypass und Distortion sitzen an den gleichen Stellen. Auch ein DI Out ist wieder dran. Einen signifikanten optischen Unterschied gibt es aber doch: Die Front ist silbern statt schwarz. In meinen Augen sieht das Pedal dadurch sehr viel edler aus.

Classic tone, refined. The upgraded Vintage Ultra with Aux in features: (1) Single user loadable cabinet simulation impulse response. (2) Micro-USB B port to connect to PC/Mac to load a different Virtual Cabinet through the Darkglass Suite. (3) 3.5mm headphone output with cabinet simulation.

The Dirtfixer can reshape the tone of fuzzes and distortions, add weight to modulation and delay effects, and even function as a powerful preamp in a pinch. Dirtfixer can refine generic distortion boxes into monster walls of sound with no loss of low end. It can turn a thin midrange heavy “transparent” overdrive into a djent machine if you want. No longer are pedals divided between guitars and bass. Use what you want. We won’t judge since the Dirtfixer turns every pedal into a bass pedal

Der EHX TriParallel Mixer ist ein leistungsstarker Hub für die Erstellung und Mischung von Effekten mit drei separaten Effektschleifen und flexiblen Bedienelementen für vielfältige Konfigurationen.

Der TriParallel Mixer ist angesichts seines Funktionsumfangs überraschend kompakt und dank seiner intuitiven Bedienelemente und Ein-/Ausgänge einfach zu bedienen.

Verwenden Sie ihn, um zwischen bis zu drei separaten Effektschleifen zu wechseln oder sie zu mischen. Senden Sie den Ausgang einer Gitarre oder eines anderen Instruments an drei separate Verstärker oder geben Sie drei separate Instrumente ein, um zwischen ihnen zu wechseln oder sie auf einen einzigen Ausgang zu mischen. Mischen Sie Effekte parallel, um Klänge zu erzeugen und Optionen zu nutzen, die bei der seriellen Verwendung von Effekten (nacheinander) nicht möglich sind.

The EHX TriParallel Mixer is a powerful effects creation and mixing hub with three separate FX loops and flexible controls allow for multiple configurations.

The Tri Parallel Mixer is surprisingly compact considering the level of functionality it provides, while its intuitive controls and I/O make it easy to operate.

Use it to switch between or mix up to three separate effects loops. Send a guitar or other instrument out to three separate amplifiers, or input three separate instruments to switch between or mix to a single output. Mix effects in parallel to create sounds and allow for options not possible when using effects in series (one after another).

This means that you can apply separate effects to the high and low frequency portions of your signal, or even send them to two different amps.

Whether you want to restrict a particular effect to just one part of the frequency spectrum – fuzz on just the lows, for example, or reverb on just the highs – or combine different effects on the two bands at the same time, the XO opens up a whole host of creative possibilities.

 And for bass guitar, the ability to apply effects to the mid and high frequencies while leaving the lows untouched effectively means that no guitar pedal is off-limits.

Jeder kennt die Frustration, die ein durch viele hintereinander verschaltete Effektpedale verfälschtes Signal hervorruft. Pro Audio Mixer haben AUX send/return Funktionen standardisiert um dieses Problem zu lösen. Dies bewahrt die Integrität und Dynamik des Gitarrensignals, da der Effekt mit dem unbearbeiteten Signal "gefüttert" wird.

Der X-Blender verwendet diese professionelle Audio Techologie um die klanglichen Unzulänglichkeiten auszugleichen, die manche Effekte produzieren und ist auf vollständige Transparenz ausgelegt.


It's frustrating to hear the signal deterioration when playing through a chain of effects. Because of the narrow dynamic range and multiple filtering, these effects greatly disturb the directness and trueness of the guitar signal. Pro-audio mixers standardized Aux send/return function to help solve this problem. This preserved the integrity of the guitar'ssignal and dynamics by feeding the effect with the unaffected signal. The X-Blender incorporates pro-audio engineering technology to solve the sonic imperfection some effects produce and was designed to be completely transparent.

Der One Control Mosquito Blender Trail ist Teil der Minimal Series, die viele praktische Tools und Gadgets für moderne Pedalboards bietet. Der Mosquito Blender erweitert jedes Effektpedal oder jeden FX Loop um eine Wet/Dry-Regelmöglichkeit. Die Wet- (Effekt) und Dry- (Original) Signale lassen sich individuell regeln, um den gewünschten Sound präzise einzustellen. Durch Aktivieren des Trail-Schalters kann das Signal vom Return-Eingang weiter gemischt werden wenn der Mosquito Blender in den Bypass geschaltet wurde, sodass Effekte wie Hall und Delay auf natürliche Weise ausklingen können. Der Blender verfügt außerdem über einen Phase-Schalter, mit dem sich die Phase des Loops drehen lässt, sodass phasenverschobene Sounds entweder vermeiden oder absichtlich erzeugt werden können. Der Mosquito Blender Trail ist mit der legendären BJF Buffer-Schaltung ausgestattet, die ein- und ausgeschaltet werden kann.

The One Control Mosquito Blender Trail is part of the Minimal Series, which offers many useful tools and gadgets for modern pedalboards. The Mosquito Blender adds a wet/dry control to any effects pedal or loop. You get individual control over Wet (effect) and Dry (original) signals for a precise adjustment of your tone. Activating the Trail switch will give you the option to mix the signal from the Return input when the Mosquito Blender was bypassed, so effects like reverb and delay can trail off naturally. The Blender also features a Phase switch, which allows you to invert the phase of the loop, so either you can avoid out-of-phase sounds or you can intentionally create them. The Mosquito Blender Trail comes with the legendary BJF Buffer circuit that can be turned on and off.

In-DepThe heart of the pedal is still the same essential filter sections, which splits your signal into different loops with HIGH PASS and LOW PASS paths both filters have a 12 dB/oct. roll-off with a variable cut-off frequency from 20 Hz to 3 kHz). The rest of the vital tonal organs have had a thorough upgrade, which has resulted in an improved noise floor too. So, let’s dive into everything that makes this pedal DELUXE.


Since the original TYLER was also used as an advanced AB/Y box by many, it was found that ground loops could occur - no more with TYLER DELUXE! Both SENDs are now transformer coupled (with TRIAD Magnetics) to give you a nice and warm saturation, while avoiding ground-loops (internal slide-switched ground-lift). To be prepared for almost every situation and every pedal, both loops also got their own phase inversion switch (+/-) to get rid of potential unwanted phase cancelation.


The next new must-have feature is there to ensure the transparency of your setup and because we know it's important to you and to us, we added the good old CLEAN blend.

So far so good, but the deluxe delights don’t stop here! A master phase-switch ensures a fixed and reliable interaction with your set filter-frequency in every situation, no matter if you either have a loop engaged or not. But wait, for all of you who wants to follow TYLER's evolution, we added another claimed feature. The LP-CUT and HP-CUT switches will now mute your loops when bypassed, which will give you tons of new options to be creative, by only using the engaged loops without having clean artefacts pass through when disengaging one of the loops.

Modern times brings modern needs, so TYLER DELUXE is now equipped with relay-based soft-switches, an internal step-up to increase the headroom for hotter input signals and low-noise op-amps to improve the overall sound-quality and usability.

Some examples of use: Bass players want to retain their low end while using their favourite fuzz or dirt pedal. Insert your dirt box in the highpass FX-Loop and adjust the cut-off frequency of the High and Low Pass to your needs. Dial in your preferred ratio of those Low and High Pass signals, engage the STEEL footswitch and you will never turn off TYLER again! You can also insert different modulation pedals, for example insert a lush phaser for the lows and a nice shimmering delay for the highs and TYLER will make it sound like two different guitars are playing at once. Mix up your modulation pedals with any dirt pedals, for a very pronounced and punchy sound all coming from one amp.  If there ever was a Swiss army knife for your tone, then TYLER DELUXE must surely be it. So, fire up your frequency saw and start defining your own unique sonic path.

Portal ist ein aktiver Signalmischer mit zwei Betriebsarten: parallel und seriell. Im Parallelmodus verfügt der Signalmischer über zwei Send/Return-Schleifen und einen Hauptausgang, der drei unabhängige Eingänge zu einem zusammenfassen oder bei Bedarf als aktiver ABY verwendet werden kann. Im Serienmodus sind A und B serielle Kanäle. Wenn der A/B-Schalter geschlossen ist, wird Kanal A oder B überbrückt. Wenn alle drei Schalter geschlossen sind, handelt es sich um einen echten Bypass.

Portal is an active signal mixer with two working modes: parallel and series. In parallel mode, the signal mixer has two send/return loops and one main output, which can combine three independent inputs into one, or can be used as an active ABY as needed. In series mode, A and B are series channels. When the A/B switch is closed, channel A or B is bypassed. When all three switches are closed, it is true bypass.

Flat Light is a flanger unlike any other. Taking inspiration from the sounds within flanging, three modes add pitch shifting, additional flanger lines, or echoes to the foundational flanger.

Flat Light

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.

SPLIT|MELD

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.
