Selection Guide
These descriptions give a quick overview of each product.
Gamma Radiation
This all-transistor pedal provides high gain hard clipping with both pre- and post- tone controls for maximum flexibility. Very crunchy and full.
Reverb
Basic single-control reverb where all four analog delays are timed to match those of a standard room with minimal overlap. Dry mix is wideband and does not impact your main tone in any way.
Replicate
This pedal creates two ground-isolated copies of the main channel signal for when running multiple amps or an amp and PA at same time.
Fuzz
Medium gain Fuzz Face type circuit with a clever modification to raise input impedance allowing pedal to be used anywhere in chain.
NeoKlon
Completely re-designed and improved circuit. Lowest noise floor of any Klon on the planet.
Tsar Face
Same as Fuzz but with a brilliant bias stabilization circuit added to maintain tonality over temperature swings, a common problem with other germanium pedals.
Tsar Boost
Single germanium transistor boost circuit with tone control.
Tsar Octave
Germanium octave-up pedal, perfect for driving other overdrive or distortion pedal.
Valve
Brilliantly simple starved-plate circuit that brings out all those wonderful tube characteristics (sag, compression, harmonics) that making playing guitar a lot more fun. EQ is flat so you can put anywhere in chain bringing life to an otherwise bland solid-state rig.
Compressor
Using a custom opto-resistor element and feed-forward side-chain, this pedal provides a very natural and balanced response without changing tone whatsoever. This will be one of your always on pedals.
Booster
Add clean, but harmonically enriched gain to your rig.
Reactivator
This starved-plate overdrive pedal builds on the Valve circuit by adding pre-gain before tube and post-tone for a wide range of sounds. The Boost footswitch adds in an extra 10dB gain for solos.
Power Baby
This unique pedal re-creates an entire push/pull tube output stage (including phase inverter) that can easily be overdriven into saturation for those massive rock tones at any stage volume. Place this in front of a cabinet IR for silent-stage operation into a PA. Downsize your massive rig into a pedal.
TubeKlon
A complete re-thinking of the classic pedal but implemented using only a few transistors and a tube, providing a much more realistic overdriven tube amp tonality (because it is a tube). Best sounding Klon on the planet.
Overdrive Clipper
This is a modern re-creation (not a copy) of a Dumble ODS preamplifier circuit using a pair of 12AX7s. Clipping of the high gain channel is done via an all-tube Hagerman Clipper circuit, which is an improvement on the original. Classic Dumble equalization is built-in for those sought after tones. Convert your regular tube amp into a D-type by driving it's return loop with this pedal.
Overdriver
Simple, straightforward 12AX7 gain pedal that mimics the tonality of an overdriven tube preamplifier. Clipping is biased towards a cold-clipper for a lot of pleasing crunch along with clean mixed in.
Preamp
This starved-plate tube pedal adds a ton of warmth and woody, organic glow to your acoustic rig. A JFET input provides very high input impedance for direct connection to piezo transducers and an isolated XLR output can go straight to PA. Make your guitar sound on stage like it does in your living room.
Half Watt
This simple, all-tube guitar and bass amplifier is perfect for bedroom practice. Fantastic tonality makes it great for studio work as well. A wonderful pedal platform!
Reactor
Designed specifically for tube amps 5 watts and under, this reactive load replaces your speaker for silent-stage operation while providing a line level output for DI or PA. Works wonderfully with the Half Watt.
PP12
This is my version of an EL84 push/pull guitar amplifier. High gain channel is based on the Hagerman Clipper circuit, adding a lot of crunch and power to your tone. Output stage provides a very tame and broad transition from clean to dirty.
