Death By Audio

Notes: Envelope with filter with serious attitude

This mangled, filter-sweeping, abruptly overdriving pedal is designed to respond to your playing. It syncs its wave-thumping movement with the force at which you play. It multiplies dynamics into a hyper-exaggerated frenzy. It adds just the right amount of movement to punch through the mix and it reacts to an external trigger of your choosing to follow your tempo. Six selectable frequency ranges mean you're always gonna have just the right quack and oomph for whatever's plugged in! The sounds are wild, the thump is thick, and the animation is deep.

Controls

Input: Plug an instrument in to this jack.
Trig: Plug another instrument in to this jack and use it to trigger the filter sweep.
Out: Connect this to the amplifier.
Sensitivity: Determines the point at which the filter engages and the frequency range of the filter shift in relation to the input amplitude.
Intensity: Simultaneously blends in the resonance, amount, and grit of the filter.
Vol: Adjusts the output volume of the DEEP ANIMATION.
Frequency Selector: Selects the frequency range of the filter.
Bypass: True bypass the effect.
Up / Down: Controls the polarity of the filter decay once triggered. UP sweeps the frequency from higher frequencies to lower ones and DOWN, the opposite.
Additional Features: There is a subtle light to indicate the external trigger behind the main bypass LED.

The DISTURBANCE is an extreme filter, flanger, and phaser with modulation like you've never heard before.

DISTURBANCE's controls allow for a wide range of sounds to be sculpted perfectly to your needs. The 'Tensity' knob changes the feedback amount and structure of all effects, with two totally different intensity options to choose from for each disturbing modulation. The Filter allows for deep swells and piercing resonance with highpass and lowpass options.

The Flanger creates a classic modulation sound with options for watery, multi-tap delay matrixes or a screaming flange with distorted feedback. Last but certainly not least, the Phazer mode is a psychedelic 8-stage phaser sound with options for mellow filtered scoops on one side and combination phaser/flanger on the other.

But that's not all - the pedal introduces a brand-new way to control an effect: The custom designed modulation core lets you pause the LFO where it stands and listen to the strange world of frozen modulation. Not only does this new system control its own sounds, the DISTURBANCE includes a CV OUT jack which lets the modulation control signal be sent to whatever device dares let it in.

Go forth and DISTURB and bend, break, and twist your sound!

Notes: An 'otherworldly' take on the classic delay pedal from Death By Audio, with the addition of a fuzz circuit allowing you to dial in grit and texture as well as ethereal atmospheres with shimmering feedback.

Supplier notes:
Lush Modulating Echo

A powerful, ethereal, and nuanced delay pedal with otherworldly controls. Push the feedback for vast worlds of colourful sound. Introduce a bit of warble with the modulator for ghastly chorus tones, or a ton of it to absolutely warp the delayed signal. Once your delay is thoroughly contorted, turn up the fuzz and pulverize it into repeating, shattered pieces. This is the preferred echo for recording engineers and touring pros around the world because, simply put, it just sounds that good. From delicate, beautiful sounds to yawning voids of fuzz and feedback, the Echo Dream II is ready to transform anything you throw at it.

Controls

Master: Sets the overall volume.
Fuzz: Sets the amount of gain, from clean to fuzzed-out bliss.
Delay: Sets the volume of the delayed signal.
D Time: Controls the delay time (numbers shown in milliseconds) between 20 ms and 1 second. Long delay times can create flutter, noise, and distortion.
FBack: Controls the feedback of the delays, from slapback to wild runaway oscillation.
Left Toggle: Up for clean blend, down to kill the dry signal and hear only the repeats.
Speed: Controls how fast the modulator runs.
Depth: Sets how far the modulator will swing the delay time. At high intervals, the pitch of the repeats will shift several semitones!
Right Toggle: Up for a smoother modulator waveform, down for a sharp, square-shaped wave.

Specifications

Dimensions: 5.87" x 4.72" x 2.35" (including hardware).
Weight: 21 oz.
Power: 9V (runs on standard 2.1mm negative center 9V adapter or included 9V battery).
Current Draw: 40 mA.

Notes: Psychdelic Vocal Trip

Designed for vocals, the Echo Master is a lo-fi, analogue tape-style delay unit that can transform your voice into a chaotic realm of noise and feedback. The effects loop allows additional effects to be placed in the signal chain, making it easy to use with any of your favourite effects pedals on your vocal sound without any adapters.

The Echo Master is not just a delay unit, however. It utilizes matched Bourns transformers on the input to create a vibrant-sounding and feedback-minimizing preamp to bring you phenomenal vocal quality before you even hit the PA. Your sound engineer will hate you because you'll sound better than ever without their help. Top it off with high-quality Neutrik XLR jacks and the Echo Master is the ultimate tool for taking total control of the sound of your voice.

Controls

Time: Controls the delay time, with numbers labelled in milliseconds. In the Red Zone, the delay chip is pushed to the extreme. The signal decreases in fidelity as the time increases.

F-Back: Controls the number of repeats in the delay circuit, anywhere from one to an infinite to a wall of oscillation.

Mix: Controls the level of the delayed channel in comparison to the dry signal, from fully dry to an equal mix.

Send/Receive: Plug out of the Send jack into any additional effects, then back into the Return jack to introduce new sounds into your vocals. This loop is before the delay line, allowing you to affect your dry vocals as well as the delay generated by the Echo Master.

*Alternate Backplate: Back in stock baby! The Echo Master can also be purchased with a backplate that mounts to your mic stand. Puts the pedal within hands reach to maximize live performance tweak-ability. This recently upgraded V3, comes with a handgrip screw for more torque (although it resembles the V1, this is a much sturdier model). **Please note- cords, microphone, and stand are not included.

Notes: For the truly wild

Psycho multimode filter with an ultra-sleek, laser-etched enclosure. Its medical-grade IC chip creates a hyper-precise filter that sounds like no other. With high pass, bandpass, and low pass modes, as well as two types of screaming resonance, the Evil Filter is ready to saw any sound into pieces - or just be the most insane wah you've ever heard. The Evil Filter's two fuzzes take signals into a much more twisted dimension, creating a blooming compression that's perfect for ripping solos and walls of noise alike. Push it past the limit into octaves up, down, and snarling wavefolding sounds. Using the CV/Expression input, you can also control the filter cutoff frequency with an expression pedal or synthesizer.

Controls

Filter Freq: Cutoff frequency of the filter. Numbers shown are in Hz.
Filter Output: Volume of the filter section of the pedal.
Filter Selector: Selects between the different filter types - Low Pass Symbol Low Pass, Band Pass Symbol Band Pass, and High Pass Symbol High Pass.

Notes: Lo-fi looks, killer sound. Serious filth here from Death By Audio. Surprising versatility with simple controls, offering mild overdrive if you want but specialising in grimy fuzz.

Supplier's Notes:
Call in the Army, the Navy, Scotland Yard, your mom, and the Mario Brothers! You'll need all the help you can get to stop this endless wall of fuzz from raging! This kill-all circuit explodes the meanest, nastiest, most insane distortion to make you the ruler of the fuzz universe.

This Death By Audio pedal has hand spray-painted graphics covering up meaty components and sound, giving you a high-tech fuzz mutilator at a punk rock price. With three knobs it can create a multitude of ultimate fuzz, boost, overdrive, and distortion sounds. Listen for yourself and you will see, this is the thickest-sounding sustaining fuzz pedal we have ever heard.

Controls

Volume: Controls the overall output level.

Fuzz: Controls the gain of the fuzz circuit. At its lowest setting the pedal just acts as a tone shifter. As the fuzz knob is turned up it sweeps from a booster to an overdrive to a thick distortion to a full on blown out war of fuzz.

Tone: A specially designed multi-curve shaping filter which changes the timbre of the pedal from super deep bass sludge to screaming highs.

Notes: The Germanium Filter is Death By Audio's love letter to sticking a pencil in your speaker.

Start with a console-style drive circuit, add in a dash of obsolete germanium transistors and finish it off with a super intense DBA-style filter - BLAMO! You've got a sound heavy enough to crush on and sharp enough to slice a tomato.

The Filter control is extremely unconventional - it'll take you from bottomless, sub-woofered out lows to super searing and brittle highs, with a universe of tone in between. The Germanium Filter will help you find the sweet spot for your instrument in any situation - at a show, in the studio, or even stranded on the side of the highway after your tour van catches fire - hey, it happens!

The Gain knob starts with a dirty boost that then spans through saturated drive, spitting distortion, and a blistering fuzz tone. Get ready for your sound to be cranked up to infinity-and-a-half and captured on tape by the most incredible recording engineer you've ever heard - only there's no engineer and no studio. Just you, your guitar, your amp and the Germanium Filter.

Controls

Filter: Controls the frequency response of the pedal, featuring huge low end, scooped mids, and sharp, piercing highs.

Gain: Sweeps from mild overdrive to blasted-out fuzz. Very interactive with your guitar's volume control.

Volume (internal): Controls the overall output level of the pedal.

Notes: The highly coveted Octave Clang has made a triumphant return to Death By Audio's Queens workshop. Long presumed extinct, the OC was never really gone, merely in a state of hibernation-evolving, refining, and enhancing its already extraordinary sound.

In the decade since it disappeared, Death by Audio have revisited the original Clang circuit, sculpting it into something better-a more ferocious, menacing, and thunderous force that is as usable as possible for today's musicians.

Embraced by professionals and punks alike, the vintage Octave Clang was created to unleash distinctly unconventional tones that captivated the senses. In this, it succeeded, but many users found it difficult to tame. Today, Death By Audio have refined and extended the range of the original controls, added a foot-switchable octave, and did some under-the-hood supercharging.

The resulting circuit is an insane yet versatile beast, empowering you to easily sculpt discordant ringing drones, visceral octave scrapes, and ground-shaking distortion. The revitalized Octave Clang is primed and ready to destroy!

Controls

Bypass (Left Footswitch): Turns the Octave Clang on and off (red LED).
Octave (Right Footswitch): Toggles the Octave Up mode (yellow LED). The yellow LED stays on/off when the pedal is bypassed to indicate if the Octave Up is engaged.
Volume: Controls the output level. Goes from totally silent to extremely loud. When set above your normal volume, it propels your chain into overdrive
Gain: Sets the gain of the Octave Clang. This can (and will) drive the rest of the circuit into overdrive and fuzz. Can provide up to +39dB of gain.

Tone: A powerful pre-gain tilt EQ, this control adjusts the amount of highs and lows going into the rest of the circuit. This can make the octave and fuzz react very differently. Overloading the lows yields a larger, more blown-out sound while overloading the highs gives a more cutting and clear sound.

Bias (Internal): Allows misbiasing the distortion circuitry. Leave this control in the middle (5-6) for standard functionality, or turn it left or right to skew the character of the distortion to a rougher sound.
Access this control by removing the back plate of the Octave Clang.

Specifications

Dimensions: 4.8" x 3.7" x 2.1" (including hardware).
Weight: 11.5 oz.
Power: The Octave Clang is powered by a standard 2.1mm 9V DC adapter with a centre-negative polarity. Isolated power supplies are recommended. It is also possible to use the Octave Clang with a 9V battery (not provided). When not using a battery, the internal battery snap should be attached to the corresponding battery snap holes on the board. This will prevent the contacts from shorting out against the circuitry. Do NOT leave the battery snap floating inside the pedal when not using a battery.
Current Draw: 10 mA

Notes: Blistering Reverb

The original synthetic atmosphere creator. The Reverberation Machine offers up drippy, saturated spring reverbs and cavernous expanses in one small package. Push the Altitude and hear the reverb blasted with gloom and distorted shimmer for the ultimate wall of sound. An instant classic for a reason, the Reverberation Machine's unique and experimental sounds are equally at home twisting your sound into a galactic nebula or adding a sinister and yearning beauty to anything you plug in.

Controls

Vol: Controls the master output volume.
Altitude Control: This is similar to gain. Turn it up to bring in a more wide open, distorted sound.
Verb: Blends in the amount of reverb.
Dark/Light Symbol: Dark cavernous reverberation to bright shimmering reverberation.

**When the Altitude and Verb controls are turned past 12 o'clock, the pedal can produce potentially harmful volumes, white noise, and other artifacts**

Supplier's Notes:
Space Reflections

ROOMS is a stereo, multi-function digital reverb capable of searing volume, gated walls of sound, and long, trailing reverberant ambiances with an intuitive array of controls designed with live mood-bending in mind.

ROOMS was designed to the highest standards of flexibility and audio fidelity. A studio-quality mixer section provides independent DRY and FX controls over six meticulously programmed reverb algorithms; ROOM, DIGIT, PEAK, GATE, WAVE, and GONG. Each different verb is capable of a universe of sounds, and ROOMS is here to help you explore them.

ROOMS' creative I/O switching and dual-mono dry signal lines allow for a wealth of possible mono and stereo configurations, making it easy to route signals for parallel processing or stereo amplifier setups.

Controls

FREQ: Controls the frequency parameter of the current mode.

DEPTH: Controls the depth parameter of the current mode.

TIME: Controls the reverb time in all modes.

DRY: Controls the volume of the dry signal, from -inf to 20x gain.

FX: Controls the volume of the reverb signal, from -inf to 20x gain.

ALT: Engages the ALT mode, switching between two sets of controls. When active, FREQ is controlled with the F knob, DEPTH with the D knob, and TIME with the T knob. Additionally, the ALT mode turns on expression control of either FREQ or TIME using the F?T Switch on the side of the pedal. NOTE: Expression control ONLY works in ALT mode and when an expression pedal is plugged in.

Expression Pedal: Almost any expression pedal will work with ROOMS. When not plugged in, the controls work as normal. NOTE: Expression control ONLY controls the F or T knobs when ALT mode is engaged and when an expression pedal is plugged in.

Modes & Parameters

FREQ knob : DEPTH knob

1 - ROOM: Tone of Decay : Pre-Delay
A classic reverb that simulates many different rooms.

2 - DIGIT: Delay Time : Delay Feedback
A filter matrix verb capable of creating otherworldly resonances and fractured repeats.

3 - PEAK: Filter Frequency : Filter Resonance
A super intense bandpass filter combined with an ambient reverb.

4 - GATE: Decay Tone : Gate Response Time
A gated reverb. Short reverb times create a classic gate effect, long reverb times create a controllable freeze effect.

5 - WAVE: Modulation Frequency : Modulation Depth
Creates a pitch vibrato effect. Lowering TIME will blend out the reverb signal, allowing sweeps from chorus/vibrato to long modulated reverbs.

6 - GONG: Modulator Frequency : Blends from Aliasing (left) to Ring Modulation (right)
Ethereal, crushed reverb sounds guaranteed to make you star in the upcoming remake of DUNE and live out your sci-fi fantasies of space travel and galactic domination.

Chorus Modulator

LFO in the UFO

The Space Bender chorus modulator replicates and warps your signal into beautiful and organic transmissions from a dimension somewhere beyond linear time.

Under the hood lies an array of dynamically modulated delay lines allowing you to craft subtle vintage sci-fi sounds, bending sonic bedlam, and pulsing atmospheres. Never again will you say this chorus pedal just isn't intense enough! These in combination with the rocker switch settings let you move smoothly through a wide range of effect types allowing for new ways of thinking and experimenting with modulated delay, chorus, and flanger.

Stretch and pull your sound waves to craft glassy bell resonances, massive reverse dive bombs, and seasick demon drones with a simple (but deep) interface. The spectrum of living, breathing sound manipulations stowed within the Space Bender serves as an interstellar gateway for the next wave of musicians to create a universe of haunting and unexplored soundscapes.

See you on the other side!
