Das Mini Mounting MOD TRS ermöglicht einen bequemen Zugang zur Signalversorgung der Pedale auf dem Board. Es passt perfekt in die Befestigungslöcher des RockBoard® LED-Lights und ist eine vielseitig einsetzbare, saubere Montage-Lösung auf allen Pedalboards der RockBoard® Serie. Der zentrale Zugang zur Signalversorgung erfolgt durch eine TRS 6,3 mm Stereoklinkenbuchse. Da es sich bei den Klinkenbuchsen um Durchgangsbuchsen handelt, ist auch in umgekehrter Richtung eine Weiterleitung von Signalen an externe Pedale, wie z.B. Wah, möglich. Auch sind, durch die Verwendung von TRS-Stereo-Buchsen, „Send/Return“-Anwendungen (A- = Tip und B- = Ring) einfach realisierbar.

The Mini Mounting MOD TRS provides convenient access to the signal supply of the pedals on the board. It fits perfectly into the RockBoard® LED Light mounting holes and is a versatile, clean mounting solution on all RockBoard® series pedalboards. Central access to the signal supply is provided by a TRS 6.3 mm stereo jack socket. Since the Mini Mounting MOD TRS uses through-connections between the inner and outer jacks, it is also possible to pass signals in the reverse direction to external pedals, such as Wah. Also, by using TRS stereo jacks, „send/return“ applications (A- = tip and B- = ring) are easy to realize.

The ’70s was a bountiful time for analog effects pedals. Among the great fuzz boxes of the era, the Foxx Tone Machine stands proudly as one of the most expressive and more extreme. The pedal was the flagship of Foxx’s lineup, which ran for a few years before vanishing in the latter part of the decade.

The beauty of the RAT2 lies in its versatility.  Used as a primary distortion, it excels at arena rock rhythm tones and soaring leads.  Do you have a powerful amp with too much headroom for the gig?  Let the RAT2 be your dirty channel.  Maybe you already love your amp’s distortion.  Use the RAT2 as a boost for solos and get the extra kick you need.
The RAT2 features the legendary RAT filter control.  Turn it to the right to roll off brittle high-end frequencies.  Having trouble cutting through the mix?  Turn it to the left and allow the natural brightness of your instrument to shine through.

Der legendäre STEREO CHORUS FLANGER war das erste Produkt von TC Electronic. Überhaupt! Unser Gründer, der auch Musiker ist, ärgerte sich in den 70er Jahren über die Qualität der verfügbaren Effektpedale - sie waren einfach zu laut. Also machte er sich als Ingenieur daran, ein Pedal zu entwickeln, das seinen Erwartungen und hohen Ansprüchen gerecht werden würde. So wurde 1976 das SCF geboren, und der Rest ist Geschichte, wie man so schön sagt. Aber hey! Niemand hat gesagt, dass die Geschichte zu Ende ist. Im Gegenteil, wir schreiben diese Geschichte weiter. Tatsächlich hat sich der Kreis geschlossen und wir treten in eine neue Ära der SCF-Geschichten ein. Darf ich vorstellen: SCF GOLD - ein legendäres Pedal! 

The legendary STEREO CHORUS FLANGER was the first TC Electronic product. Ever! Our founder, who is also a musician, was annoyed with the quality of effect pedals available back in the 70s – they were just so noisy. So, being an engineer, he set out to design a pedal that would live up to his expectations and high standards. That was how the SCF was born all the way back in 1976, and the rest is history as they say. But hey! No one said the story was over. On the contrary, we’re adding to that history. In fact, it has come full circle and we’re really entering a new era of the SCF tales. Please meet SCF GOLD – a legendary pedal to be!

Die magische Kombination aus Tremolo und Reverb ist das früheste Beispiel für eine perfekte Verbindung von Gitarreneffekten. Erstmals in legendären Verstärkern der 1960er Jahre eingesetzt, hat dieses harmonische Zusammenspiel unzählige Aufnahmen und Live-Performances geprägt – von frühem Surfrock, swampigem Bayou-Blues, Spaghetti-Western und Film-noir-Soundtracks bis hin zu modernem Indie-Rock. Auch heute entdecken Gitarrist:innen die inspirierende Kraft dieses Traumpaars immer wieder neu.

Flint ist ein Studio-Qualitäts-Effektpedal, das genau diese klassische Kombination liefert. Wir haben unsere Lieblings-Tremolo- und Reverb-Schaltungen aus der Vergangenheit intensiv analysiert, ihre klanglichen Feinheiten untersucht und sie in unseren aufwendig entwickelten Algorithmen detailgetreu nachgebildet. Flint ist im Grunde zwei Pedale in einem – Tremolo auf der einen, Reverb auf der anderen Seite.

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.

Als wir uns entschieden, ein Stereo-Delay-Effektpedal in Studioqualität zu entwickeln, wussten wir, dass wir weit über das bisher Erreichte hinausgehen mussten – in Sachen Klangqualität, klanglicher Flexibilität, Hardware-Design und Verarbeitungsleistung. Wir verbrachten Monate in den Sounddesign-Laboren von Strymon und träumten von den geräumigsten, üppigsten, kreativsten und anpassbarsten Delay-Effekten, die man je gehört hat. Es war eine monumentale Aufgabe – ein unermüdliches Studium von Delays und ihren Nuancen und ein kontinuierliches Streben nach innovativen und musikalisch inspirierenden Klängen. Durch die Verwendung eines unglaublich leistungsstarken SHARC DSP wird jedes bisschen Verarbeitungsleistung genutzt.

TimeLine bietet Ihnen zwölf einzigartige Delay-Maschinen, jede mit umfassender Kontrolle über Klangcharakter und -gefühl. Gehen Sie von knackigen und klaren digitalen Delays in Studioqualität bis hin zu den gesättigten und schwankenden Klängen von Band-Delay-Maschinen. Erhalten Sie warme und unscharfe Wiederholungen im analogen Stil bis hin zu schimmernden, funkelnden und kristallinen Eis-Delays.

Optimieren Sie nach Herzenslust und speichern Sie bis zu 200 Voreinstellungen Ihrer Lieblingssounds. Krönen Sie das Ganze mit einer vollständigen MIDI-Implementierung und einem routingfähigen 30-Sekunden-Stereo-Looper und schon sind Sie auf dem Weg zum Delay-Glück.

When we decided to create a studio-class stereo delay effects pedal, we knew we must go well beyond what has been done in the past—in sound quality, sonic flexibility, hardware design, and processing power. We spent months locked up in the Strymon sound design labs dreaming up the most spacious, lush, creative, and tweakable delay effects ever heard. It was a monumental task—a relentless study of delays and their nuances, and a continuous pursuit of innovative and musically inspirational sounds. Utilizing a ridiculously powerful SHARC DSP, every drop of processing power is harnessed.

TimeLine provides you with twelve unique delay machines, each with extensive control over sonic character and feel. Go from crisp and clear, studio-quality digital delays all the way to the saturated and fluctuating sounds of tape delay machines. Get warm and fuzzy analog style repeats all the way to shimmery, sparkling, and crystalline ice delays.

Tweak to your hearts content and save up to 200 presets of your favorite sounds. Top it all off with full MIDI implementation and a routable, 30-second stereo looper and you’re on your way to delay bliss.

Inspired by a little known fuzz box called the "Fuzzy Nuts" (no we're not making that up) the Golden Fleece is a do it all dirt box that perfectly blends Fuzz, Distortion, and Overdrive into one little golden box of fun.
The single more knob only controls the output of the circuit so it's up to your fingers and guitars controls to shape the gain level and voice. With everything dimed it's a powerful blooming fuzz sound that sounds great hitting a pushed amplifier.
Internally the Golden Fleece is a different type of one knob fuzz. The pedal doesn't rely on a pair of transistors for fuzz instead utilizing a very special silicon and germanium diode pair. Zach has chosen a very special NOS Germanium diode that gives the Golden Fleece it's unique and versatile fuzz voice.

Plug into BigSky and instantly lift your sound into the stratosphere. The world below you fades into the distance, and you’re elevated into a glow of lush, glorious, radiant reverbs.

To create a reverb experience as natural, beautiful, and immersive as BigSky required tremendous feats of sound engineering and artistic imagination. Using the fundamentals of acoustical science as our beacon, we carefully studied and scientifically analyzed reverb technology from the past fifty years. We faithfully captured the essence of these classic sounds, and forged ahead to dream up our vision of reverbs from the future.

This design boasts an amazing 600ms of delay time with optional modulation via a top-mounted switch and a simple, three-knob layout that controls Delay time, Mix (dry/wet blend), and Regen (delay repeats)-all in a pedal no bigger than a Phase 90. In addition, two internal trim pots offer user-adjustable width and rate control of the modulation for even more tonal options. The Carbon Copy will take you from crisp “bathroom” slap echoes to epic, Gilmour-esque delays with a twist of a knob. True hardwire bypass, single 9-volt operation, and stage-ready blue LEDs round out the package.

We all know about tape echoes, the first delay technology providing organic and slightly distorted repeats.
This particular tone is due to two elements: the magnetic tape and all the imperfections it implies, but also the internal preamp.
Many musicians, such as Eric Johnson, have used their tape echoes in a different way, using the preamp alone, without the echo, as a dirty boost
to overload their amps and make them saturate while bringing a unique character.

The Tape Preamp was inspired by the JFET preamp circuit of a popular tape echo from the 70’s, known for its unique delay and warm preamp.
Of course, we couldn’t stop there, and we redesigned the circuit in our own way to offer a whole new range of tones,
while keeping the original character of the effect. All of this without the need for a real tape echo.

The Argonaut is a no frills pedal offers a clean-ish octave up sound. Using it alone offers you a gnarly, ring mod-esque sound that is pretty funky. The fun begins when you combine it with your favorite overdrive or fuzz pedals. Once combined all the iconic octave tones we know and love begin to jump out of your signal. It’s very touch responsive, weird, and fun all rolled into a small little package. The Argonaut uses a pair of Hand matched NOS Germanium Diodes, this gives the most prevalent octave up effect that is present all over your guitar neck. Unlike traditional octave pedals the octave effect can be heard up and down the guitar neck, so get ready to get weird once you add this bad boy to your setup.

Das TS Mini ist eine kompakte Version des legendären Overdrive-Pedals von Ibanez aus der Tube Screamer-Reihe. Es bietet die klassischen Regler für Drive, Tone und Level in einem Gehäuse mit etwa halber Größe des Originals. Es verwendet True-Bypass-Schaltung und eine vollständig analoge Elektronik, um den saubersten Signalweg zu gewährleisten. Es ist für Pedalboards mit begrenztem Platz konzipiert, ohne den typischen Mitten-Boost-Charakter der Tube Screamer-Serie zu verlieren.

The TS Mini is a compact version of Ibanez’s legendary Tube Screamer overdrive pedal. It delivers the same classic drive, tone and level controls in a form-factor roughly half the size of the original. It uses true-bypass switching and 100% analog circuitry to preserve the cleanest signal path. It is optimized for pedalboards where space is at a premium while retaining the characteristic “mid-hump” overdrive that made the Tube Screamer family iconic.
