To our knowledge, we were the first company to offer a production re-production of the marvelous & mysterious Systech Harmonic Energizer® used by the likes of Frank Zappa, Greg Lake, Joe Walsh and other 70’s icons.  

Essentially a parametric midrange filter with adjustable peak and an obscene amount of gain, the Triskelion® reproduced all the searing, scorching, squawking sounds of the original Systech with pinpoint accuracy.  It also has the added benefit of an extended high-frequency range & expression control over the filter sweep.v

TRISKELLION 3

Like Frankenstein’s Monster, cobbled together from discorporate parts and then electrified back to life, the heart of the Octoverdrive hides archaic, undead components that should not create sound – and yet, it lives!

Cursed to clip for all eternity by a set of selenium rectifiers the Octoverdrive offers two channels of diabolical dirt

Wir haben viel zu lange gebraucht, um die Mk. II Version unseres berüchtigten Triskelion zu veröffentlichen, aber wie man so schön sagt, das Warten lohnt sich!

Der TK-02 bietet die gleichen knorrigen, energiegeladenen Töne wie sein großer Bruder, mit dem Zusatz von mehreren neuen Steuerungsoptionen, einem kleineren, pedalboardfreundlichen Gehäuse und einem niedrigeren, geldbörsenfreundlichen Preis!

Das Triskelion nutzt Vintage-Synth-Technologie, um die harmonische Struktur des Eingangssignals neu zu formen und jedem Gitarrensound Punch, Klarheit und Tiefe zu verleihen.

Das speziell entwickelte Filter des Triskelion kann glasige Cleansounds erzeugen, die Mitten für kehlige Soli anheben oder Ihr Rig auf jeden Raum abstimmen, um eine Wand aus singendem, resonantem Feedback zu erzeugen. Massive Verstärkersounds, explosive Lead-Breaks, unendliches Sustain und geradezu fiese, energiegeladene Sounds sind nur einige der Einsatzmöglichkeiten des Triskelion - die Möglichkeiten sind nahezu unbegrenzt!
Der Triskelion-Schaltkreis basiert auf dem äußerst seltenen Systech Harmonic Energizer - dieses Pedal wurde von mehreren bekannten Künstlern geschätzt, darunter Joe Walsh und Greg Lake. Sein bekanntester Verfechter war die Gitarrenlegende Frank Zappa, der den Systech für viele seiner kehligen, mittenbetonten Gitarrensounds verwendete.

Es ist keine Überraschung, dass Zappas Sohn Dweezil auf das Triskelion vertraut, um die Gitarrensounds seines Vaters für das laufende Projekt Zappa Plays Zappa zu reproduzieren. Es ist sogar bekannt, dass Dweezil drei - ja, DREI - Triskelions in seinem Live-Touren-Rig verwendet!

Wenn du dich also von der Masse abheben und Gitarrensounds kreieren willst, die nicht nur die Kinnladen runterklappen, sondern auch die Schubladen füllen, dann solltest du dir ein Triskelion - oder drei - in dein Tonarsenal einbauen. Mach dich auf den Weg!

It’s taken us entirely too long to release the Mk. II version of our infamous Triskelion, but as they say good things are worth the wait!

The TK-02 features the same gnarly, energy-infused tones as its big brother, with the addition of several new control options, a smaller, pedalboard-friendly chassis and a lower, wallet-friendly price!

The Triskelion uses vintage Synth technology to re-shape the harmonic structure of the input signal, adding punch, clarity and depth to any guitar tone.

The Triskelion’s specially designed filter can create glassy clean tones, boost midrange for throaty solos, or tune your rig to any room for a wall of singing, resonant feedback. Massive amp sounds, explosive lead-breaks, infinite sustain, and downright nasty, energy-intense tones are just a few of the uses for the Triskelion – the possibilities are almost limitless!

The Triskelion circuit is based on the uber-rare Systech Harmonic Energizer – this pedal was prized by several well-known artists, including Joe Walsh and Greg Lake. It’s most notable advocate was guitar legend Frank Zappa, who used the Systech for many of his throaty, mid-boosted Guitar tones.

It’s no surprise that Zappa’s son Dweezil relies on the Triskelion to replicate his father’s guitar sounds for the ongoing Zappa Plays Zappa project. In fact, Dweezil has been known to use three – yes, THREE – Triskelion’s in his live touring rig!

So if you’re looking to step out from the masses and create guitar tones that drop jaws as well as drawers, then you owe it to yourself to add a Triskelion – or three – to your tone arsenal. Get energized!
