The Echo Centric is the most unique small delay pedal around with the ability to create and shape your sound in new ways. Simulating an analog tape delay echo using only the finest in audio technology, the Echo Centric gives you a smoothly adjusting delay up to one second. The soft-damping section gives fed-back echoes that special warm quality that makes analog delay so appealing. And with up to 100% feedback, you can build sound on top of sound, to create amazingly rich effects. Change the delay time with the feedback turned up to hear smoothly varying delays just like an open-reel tape machine. The syncopation feature adds a new level of creative potential by adding multi-tap delays that automatically divide the selected delay into quarters or thirds. Create musical, lilting or straight-up echoes without messing with the controls. Just step on the SYNCOPATE footswitch to add an extra level of depth to the existing echoes. And the syncopated echoes are output in stereo. Choose either output for a unique sound, or use two amps for incredible stereo echo effects. With high-quality construction using only high quality parts, the Echo Centric is designed for a lifetime of rocking. The enclosure is made from cold-rolled steel with a powder-coated paint job for long life. Circuitry is hand-wired and tested for perfection. Battery life is long due to a low-power design, and with the unique Pure Bypass technology, pristine sound quality is maintained in your signal path when the effect is out of the circuit. Features and Specs Hand-tuned Effects - The best effects for your sound. Pure Bypass Circuitry - Noise-free bypassing with clean sound. High Quality Parts - High quality pots and switches, and Neutrik connectors are used for best quality. Low Power Consumption - With only 70mA current draw, the effect can be run on batteries or off a standard Boss-style DC adapter. Controls Wet/Dry - Adjusts the mix between echo and dry sound.

Finding a fault in a large audio system can be a real pain, particularly if it's to do with phase or polarity. Such problems are difficult to isolate without spending precious time re-plugging and testing. Often imitated, but never bettered, the LA Audio Phase Checking system's wide band pulse can detect polarity inversions both acoustically and electronically irrespective of distance or time delay, making it easy to isolate cable, speaker or processor faults quickly. The PC90 is the latest incarnation of this advanced system, capable of measuring phase accuracy in any audio system.The separate emitter and receiver can be placed anywhere throughout an audio system, using either its internal speaker and microphone, or a balanced XLR connection. As soon as the emitter seeks out its little pulse, the receiver will indicate whether the signal is received in or out of phase. Barely seconds later, when your problem has been solved, the two units couple together, ready to be thrown into your pocket or toolbox. So, if you need a time saving, hassle free, rock solid and cool looking little audio friend, look no further than PC90. Minimize

Why a 'passive' mixer, we hear you say? For software multi- ... Read more

Why a 'passive' mixer, we hear you say? For software multi-track and hardware synth users, there are plenty of good reasons. Without getting too technical about it, the upshot is that your mixdowns will simply sound better as a result.Those of us who mix using computer software are faced with an inevitable compromise. You can spend a great deal of time trying to build up a mix to sound clear and dynamic, with great depth and dimension. Yet, as you're building things up, things just don't seem to sound the way they should. Then, by the time you listen to the stereo CD, you're not smiling anymore.Even while folks might be congratulating you on a job well done, you know something is not right.Don't worry! It's not your imagination. Your ears are telling you the truth!Just as with hardware mixing consoles, software faces similar challenges when it comes to modifying and merging multiple audio signals into a single stereo stream. Something strange always seems to happen to the sound. Software developers spend an enormous amount of time and money trying to get this right. This partly explains why the best software also costs big bucks. Even when multi-tracking with software, this is why top studio producers and engineers around the world will almost unanimously opt for using a good hardware console for final mixdowns.So, for those of us who would prefer not to spend mega-dollars on a high-end mixing console but would like to get closer to the real deal, all you need do is hook up a multi-channel audio interface to the PM-8 Passive Summing Box and you'll be wanting to remix everything you've ever done!Using high quality components, the PM-8 merges up to eight analog channels into a clean and clear stereo pair, with all the sonic depth and dynamics intact. If your software is not cutting it, just use it for what it's best at multi-tracking! Leave the merging of the final stereo mix to the PM-8. And if you need more channels just hook up another PM-8! As with all passive mix Minimize

Do you like to modulate? The Vibro Man packs three kinds of ... Read more

Do you like to modulate? The Vibro Man packs three kinds of modulating effects into one pedal: Vibrato, tremolo and vibrating filter. The vibrato offers a smooth pitch-varying effect that you can adjust from subtle to radical and everything in between. The tremolo adds beautiful sine-wave tremolo typical of classic tube amps. But by cranking the depth you can get square-wave chopping effects that add more bite to your sound. The best part is that both vibrato and tremolo can be enabled together and controlled by a single speed knob. But if you thought that was enough, the fine folks at Kilpatrick Audio decided it might be fun to be able to switch the vibrato for something a bit more dramatic. The vibrating band-pass filter fits the bill with a high-Q sweeping filter. The depth affects the frequency range of the filter sweeping. And of course it can be used along with the tremolo effect for incredible sounds. All of the effects are produced in stereo, so that you get two synchronized, but different channels which sound great when played through two amps. The Vibro Man is the first Kilpatrick Audio pedal with a touch-sensitive mode. By enabling the Touch footswitch, the depth of each effect reacts to your playing. For instance, start with a subtle vibrato that gets deeper as you play louder. This really brings new possibility to effects which are conventionally non-reactive. The results are really quite interesting and fun to use. With high-quality construction using only high quality parts the Vibro Man is designed for a lifetime of rocking. The enclosure is made from cold-rolled steel with a powder-coated paint job for long life. Circuitry is hand-wired and tested for perfection. Battery life is long due to a low-power design, and with the unique Pure Bypass technology, pristine sound quality is maintained in your signal path when the effect is out of the circuit. Minimize

The Death by Audio Robot is the latest in a line of sonic mayhem inducing pedals from our boys in NYC. The Robot brings Death by Audio into the low-fi, bit-crushing business. This insane pedal is a lo-fi pitch transposer that produces sweet, 8-bit ring mod effects to your guitar. The Robot features four operational modes; Normal, Octave Up, Octave Down, and Arpeggiator. The Octave Up and Octave Down modes are pretty self explanatory. The Control knob, when fully clockwise, yields either octave up or down depending on the mode. When turned down, it bends the pitch of the octave down so you can dial in the exact tone you want. In Normal mode the Robot acts as a lo-fi fuzz pedal and the Control knob bends the pitch down from clockwise. The amount of fuzz can be further toyed with using the internal gain control. Now the fun part. The Death by Audio Robot also features an arpeggiator. The pitch will arpeggiate in a sequence and the Control knob will adjust the speed of the arpeggiation. It also makes a slight change in the pitch, allowing the arpeggiator to go higher. With all this fun, who needs anything else? Arpeggiation, whacky robotic nonsense, and 8-bit fuzz fun are all jam packed together in the Death by Audio Robot. Death by Audio Robot Features: * True Bypass * Internal Gain Control * Octave Up/Down * Arpeggiator * Insanity! Minimize
