Anyhow, I would love to see a gut shot of the pedal. Swell recently went out of business, unfortunately. Honestly the first company to have a real new design concept was Swell pedals, which were tube drive pedals with real full sized preamp tubes and full analog circuitry. Here is a blog that takes pedals apart and figure them out: Other popular mod platforms are the Marshall Bluesbreaker pedals and the Electra distortion pedals (which lovepedal has modded umpteenth times). Ron, I bet it is quality, but even the Zendrive and dumblesque pedals are modded TS pedals with tweaked clipping sections, even when the claim of being different is made. I want to hear if it lives up to all the strong words.īased upon how the Twinkleland, Gainland and twinklelator sound that I have this new pedel from Peter I am sure is something very different and of the highest quality. it's not like hitting against a wall".īut okay that interview was a year ago. they cannot believe it is a transistor based pedal. "People who play the prototype have been amazed at the dynamics. "The large part of the sound is in the pedal, and therefore not so much in the interaction with the amp". "show me!"he said, and mission accomplished". when Joe came to the office to play the prototype the first thing he took was a cheap transistor combo from my neighbour. we made a pedal that will work on any amp. "Some people won't buy certain pedals because they will only work well with certain amps like a fender combo or a marshall amp. but we couldn't throw away a year so we continued, and we are really happy with that. is it going to work? because we have such high standards. for about a year of R&D we didn't believe we could pull it off. "In order to make a good sounding tube pedal, it would have been a lot more expensive because of power supply, tubes are more expensive. Interviewer: So how come your choice for transistor and not tube since you have achieved such a high level in the tube business? "Yeah you can throw some parts together for say 200 Euro and come up with something acceptable, or you can start with a clean sheet and make the best pedal ever! haha that's a different way of doing things. From the video (which it's in Dutch) I will translate in English. likely quality build, and likely good sound.įaaaarrrrr from it. i bet it will be 400 dollars for yet another modified tube screamer (though honestly i don't know what the circuit layout is, just an assumption as the TS is the most tweaked layout).
