Notes: Constellator is an all-analog delay pedal capable of producing up to 600ms of lush echo with adjustable modulation and a comprehensive sound palette. From percussive slapback and doubler sounds to chorused-out, long delays with endless repeats, the Constellator's MN3005 bucket brigade chips provide superior overall headroom and tape-like saturation when pushed to the limit. The Feel toggle switch adjusts several parameters simultaneously for an additional coloring of LFO modulation. With the Feedback control maxed out, the Constellator is capable of self-oscillation which can be pitched up or down by turning the Time knob. Runs on standard 9VDC.

Knob-by-knob

Time: Sets your delay time. Clockwise for slower, counter-clockwise for faster.
Mix: Controls your dry/wet balance.
Mod: Controls the modulation depth. Adds color and warp.
Repeats: Sets the amount of feedback in the delay line.
Feel: Selects between two distinct modulation types. When the switch is pushed in, a chorus effect is selected. When the switch is not pushed in, a vibrato effect is selected.

King of bucket brigades

The pair of analog delay chips used in the Constellator are new production replicas of the mighty Panasonic MN3005 Bucket Brigade Devices (BBD) found in some of the most iconic vintage delay pedals of all time. With 4096 individual "buckets" and +15V power rails, the MN3005 provides the longest possible delay time and most available headroom in an analog delay. Luscious.

Notes: Moon Pool is an analog phase shifter and tremolo with independent speed controls featuring the ability to change the rate of one or both of the effects in either direction, corresponding to how hard you play. The 4-stage, VCA-based phaser and variable bias tremolo found in the Moon Pool can each be run as standalone effects or they can be combined in series for a mesmerizing mashup of modulators. A global Depth knob determines overall wetness, while a Sensitivity knob allows you to dial in the responsiveness of these changes to accommodate different playing styles and colors. Runs on standard 9VDC.

Knob-by-knob

Phase Speed: Sets the rate of modulation for the phaser.
Trem Speed: Sets the rate of modulation for the tremolo.
Depth: Sets the intensity of both the phaser and tremolo.
Sens.: Determines how much signal is required to change the speed of both phaser and trem when dynamics processing is turned on.

Trem / Phase (Three-Way Toggle): Up = trem engaged, Center = both engaged, Down = phaser engaged

Phaser Dyn. (Three-Way Toggle): Up = phaser speed increases in response to playing dynamic, Middle = no change, Down = decreases

Trem Dyn. (Three-Way Toggle): Up = trem speed increases in response to playing dynamic, Middle = no change, Down = decreases

Dynamically-responsive, wide-range dual LFOs

Moon Pool features a pair of LFOs that can be independently modulated by the amplitude of your playing. Engaging the dynamics switches enables these LFOs to travel well beyond normal limits, creating wild FM tones at maximum speed and gradually evolving textures when slowed way down. Equal parts out-of-this-world and inherently musical.

Get lost in the slosh

Sometimes, you gotta kick off your moon boots, slip into a moon pool, pour yourself a moon juice, and get lost in the slosh.

Notes: Octava is an all-analog octave fuzz / frequency doubler featuring an on-board low pass Filter control that allows you to achieve singing octave up tones anywhere on the neck, without adjusting your guitar's tone control. A front-end Drive and gushing Fuzz circuit add signal power and easily convert Octava to shoegazey fuzz pedal capable of producing devastating, full-wave rectified distortion. Use the Blend knob to mix the octave up effect on top of your dialed-in drive.

Knob-by-knob

Volume: Sets the overall output volume.
Blend: Mixes in the octave-up effect.
Filter: A low-pass filter tone knob. Sets the cutoff frequency of the low pass filter on the input of the Octave circuit.
Drive: Mixes in warm front-end overdrive by increasing the gain of the J-FET preamp stage.
Fuzz: Activates the fuzz circuit.

All analogue, still versatile

Built with the theory of "do one thing and do it well" paired with the flexibility of more diverse effects units, the Octava transitions seamlessly between a singing octave-up to an overflowing fuzz, and every blended tone between.

The Octavia ribbons

Parallel ribbons made up of complex patternwork wave ever-so-slightly in the blackness of space. It is from this mysterious place Octava was harvested. Pretty much sounded like a badass octave fuzz.

Notes: Famous for its noiseless clean sustain, the Philosopher's Tone has staked its claim in the crowded world of compressor pedals. In addition to Volume and Sustain controls, the Philosopher's Tone features a parallel Blend knob that allows the musician to mix their instrument's original tone with the compressed sound effect. This technique restores natural pick-attack and allows more extreme sustain settings to remain musical. The Treble control provides up to a 6db cut or boost at 2kHz for fine-tuning the frequency response of the effect. The Philosopher's Tone features true-bypass switching and internal 18V power rails for maximum clean headroom, even when used with hot pickups and line level signals.

Knob-by-knob

Volume: Sets the overall output volume.
Sustain: Sets the amount of sustain.
Treble: Boosts or cuts treble at 2kHz.
Blend: Mixes your compressed effect with your clean signal.

Rare design

Generations of guitar players have sought noiseless clean sustain from a compressor, and this was the guiding goal of the research and design behind Philosopher's Tone, yielding a compressor with an internal 18 volts of headroom and naturally musical tone control.

Modern-day alchemy
Practitioners of the mystical and ancient art of alchemy long sought an element called the Philosopher's Stone. They believed, if found, it could turn lead into gold and bestow immortality upon the person who wielded it. Turns out it was waiting in the depths of space all along.

Notes: Fuzz sculptor with an appetite

Star Eater is an all-analogue, dual footswitch super-jumbo Fuzz with a footswitchable booster and variable filter stage, allowing players to easily sculpt a massive array of inspiring, unique fuzz tones. On the fuzz side, newly-available, precision-matched transistor pairs are utilized to ensure that each and every unit is perfectly dialled in to "the sweet spot" that can be so elusive to find in vintage pedals. A rocker switch provides your choice of Germanium or Silicon colour. Downstream from the fuzz, a powerful booster stage drives the filter in the Star Eater. Scoop and Bump voicings for the filter can be selected via a rocker switch, drastically changing the frequency response of the Sweep control throughout its entire range. Built to last and designed to inspire, the Star Eater brings a unique approach and a new standard of performance to the world of boutique fuzz pedals. Runs on standard 9VDC.

Knob-by-knob

Hunger: Determines the amount of gain in the fuzz.
Volume: Determines the output level of the fuzz.
Sweep: Sets the frequency response of the filter. Note: The Sweep knob is only active when the Contour footswitch has been turned on.
Voice: Selects between Silicon (Si) and Germanium (Ge) diode clipping in the fuzz circuit.
Contour: Changes the shape of the tone.

Back to the future

Inspired by the chunky chassis feel of the late 70s and early 80s, Star Eater was designed to offer a fun, tactile user experience and make it easy for players to fine tune their own signature fuzz tone.
