The new HOBO DRIVE from T-Rex Effects is a spectacular overdrive pedal thats built to put you firmly in the drivers seat. Think of HOBO DRIVE as 2 pedals in 1 an overdrive preamp and a boost pedal (with a twist).Start with a 2-stage preampAt its core, HOBO DRIVE is a 2-stage preamp controlled via traditional PREAMP and MASTER volume controls. But thats not all. A TONE control lets you customize your overdrive sound right from the start, shaping its timbre to your exact tastes. Dont worry: No matter how you set it, HOBO DRIVE delivers the warm, vintage-sounding tone T-Rex is famous for.Then add an adjustable BOOST switchOn top of the preamp core, you get a very useful boost function for soloing, single-note lines, you name it. This not only makes HOBO DRIVE a more versatile pedal, it can eliminate the need for an external boost pedal, if you normally use an overdrive sound for your lead playing.Finally, the real sauceWhen you kick your HOBO DRIVE into boost mode, it takes your overdrive sound up to the volume level youve set. But HOBO DRIVE lets you do something else: An ingenious PRE/POST switch gives you the option of boosting your signal before it hits the preamp to add even more drive as you raise the stakes with extra volume.About T-Rex EngineeringBased in Vejle, Denmark, T-Rex Engineering makes classic and signature effect pedals for the worlds best musicians.Our approach blends hi-tech innovation with old-world craftsmanship always in the service of killer tone.Controls:PreampMasterToneBoostOn/off switchBoost switchBoost pre/post switchBattery Type: 9V battery 6F22Battery Life: 1 HourExternal connectorsInput Jack, Output Jack, 9V DC jack Minimize

The tube-enhanced Plush Verbrator Loop and Reverb Guitar Effects Pedal is a multipurpose stompbox combining an all-tube effects loop with a studio-grade reverb. The Verbrator pedal has a 32Khz clock speed for full 16K audio bandwidth. The Verbrator may be Plush's most innovative guitar effect pedal to date.Unlike other "tube pedals," the Plush Verbrator power supply offers a unique regulated switching technology that takes the incoming 9V and converts it to the optimal high voltage a tube really needs to operate best. In addition, a 6V DC regulator provides consistent clean DC power for the tube filament assuring low noise and consistent performance despite any changes to incoming line voltage.The Verbrator can be used on a pedal board as a reverb pedal. It features a Level and Decay controls for short, medium, or long decay reverb algorithms. Use the Plush Verbrator as a tube buffer to convert an incoming high impedance signal to low impedance for long cable runs or for driving a pedal board. The recovery (gain) stage can be used to boost the guitar or pedal board's level with a true tube audio stage. Verbrator provides a warm sweet utility gain stage with a multitude of uses.The effects loop portion of the Verbrator pedal has a unity gain cathode follower to work with any amp with passive preamp outputpower amp input patch jacks, and not a true active effects loop like Ceriatone, Dumble, Bludotone, Brown Note, some Marshall models and others. It has a send level control and high headroom. The return portion of the loop features a high impedance input (250K) and a low output impedance with its own Level control as well. The loop can be run in series or parallel modes, and has a Level Adjust switch for rack or pedal-style effects.Plush provides a 9V DC adapter. The Verbrator loop and reverb pedal also has a unique window showing the tube. Like all Fuchs pedals, the Verbrator features a solid cast aluminum, powder-coated enclosure with heat cured silk screening, dual sided heavy circuit boards, premium switches and controls, and premium electronic parts throughout.

The Dwarfcraft Eau Claire Thunder fuzz effect pedal rectifies a few issues with other fuzz boxes, notably the need for a mid scoop. The Eau Claire Thunder fuzz is a classically styled distortion and sustain pedal, with a few Dwarfcraft twists. It scoops the mids for some cool metal tones.Stomping on the Eau Claire Thunder's bypass switch puts you in familiar fuzzbox territory. Volume, Tone, and Distortion controls are all active, as well as the Timewarp toggle, which flips between the traditional hi-fi sound and a more blunted stoner-rock-type sound. (Note: if your amp has a lot of treble rolled off, you may not hear much difference between the Timewarp positions.)Toneblast bypasses the tone control, giving you more mids, and a bunch more volume. You can tap the Feedback stomper at any time to trigger a momentary integrated feedback loop for cool extra noisy flavor.The Trim control rolls back your input signaluseful in case of muddiness caused by hotter pickups. The Eau Claire Thunder fuzz pedal has the most bass of any Dwarfcraft stompbox. It also sounds amazing on bass guitars.

The Pigtronix Mothership is an analog synthesizer featuring VCO, Sub-Octave, and the world's first Intelligent Ring Modulator. Incredibly fast note recognition and enormous analog sound make this unique synthesizer ideal for use with guitar, bass, horns, vocals or any other musical instrument. No special pickup or interface is required.At the heart of the Mothership effects pedal is a newly designed note detection circuit that achieves high-speed and accurate pitch to voltage translation. The Mothership is a true analog mono-synth with a limitless array of tuning options between its voices. This Pigtronix effects unit is capable of otherworldly tones that have never before been available in such a compact and easy-to-use format as well as some new sounds that reach into bizarre and uncharted musical territory. Are you ready to go there?VCOThe main voice of the Pigtronix Mothership effects pedal is a VCO (Voltage-Controlled Oscillator) that outputs either triangle or square waves. The VCO can be tuned anywhere from 2 octaves above the input signal to 2 octaves below the input signal and functions over the entire range of both 5-string bass and 6-string electric guitar. An adjustable portamento (glide) effect can be added to produce subtle slides from note to note or outrageous multi-octave glissando maneuvers. An expression pedal jack for whammy control provides tunable pitch bending up to one octave using a standard TRS 20K Expression pedal. That's right: analog whammy.Sub-OctaveThe Pigtronix octave down is massive; it will shake your house. The Sub-Octave is always locked to the input signal, providing a warm and solid fundamental for whatever harmony you create with the other voices. A dedicated SUB Out jacks allows low frequencies from the Sub-Octave and Ring Modulator to be sent to a separate bass amp for maximum booty.Intelligent Ring ModulatorIn designing the Mothership, Pigtronix has created something never before heard by mankind: the pitch tracking ring modulator. Tune this ring modulator to the sound you desire and it will follow every note you play, retaining the exact harmonic intervals between its output and the signal it is tracking. A "ring mod source," switch lets the ring modulator follow either the input signal or the VCO signal, providing an immense array of analog textures and interactive harmony. The Mothership's glide and whammy functions also apply to the intelligent ring modulator, letting the musician morph one harmony into another and then back again.Triangle- or square-wave VCOPitch-Tracking Ring ModulatorFast and accurate trackingVariable portamentoF.A.T.

The Dwarfcraft Synth Mangler distortion guitar effects pedal boasts a pair of Devi's flagship Soda Meisers with all the trimmings, and of course, its own joystick. The Synth Mangler's joystick controls the intensity of the fuzz. The Soda Meiser can be a meaty rhythm fuzz, but where it excels is the squelching electronic octave up violence, splattery noise, and angry howling oscillation. The closer the joystick is to the Volume knob, the more intense it is. The Noise and Chaos toggle switches bring out additional hisses and brightness for screaming guitar distortion, even in lower-gain settings.Synth Mangler 1 switchSynth Mangler 1 noise toggleSynth Mangler 1 chaos toggleSynth Mangler 1 volume knobSynth Mangler 2 switchSynth Mangler 2 noise toggleSynth Mangler 2chaos toggleSynth Mangler 2volume knobMaster joystickLEDs Minimize
