The Double Hot Cake

The Double Hotcake has two Hotcakes 'A' and 'B' in one box. The A is a Bluesberry version, and the B a normal version (the "Bluesberry" voicing of the Hotcake has a slightly less buzzy edge at the onset of distortion, and often works well when guitarists have amplifiers with extra extreme treble boost, like some Marshalls for instance). Both have three knobs and a footswitch as with regular Hotcakes. If both Hotcakes are switched on together, the A Hotcake drives the B, and its controls are bypassed, but an extra Drive control is switched in to adjust the its gain. There is also an extra clipping stage and a reduction in low frequencies to make for a better lead sound in the high gain situation. The A Hotcake has the usual buffered bypass (the circuit becomes a buffer in bypass mode), while the B Hotcake is hard bypassed using gold plated contacts.

Hot Cake

The HOTCAKE is one of the oldest tried and true overdrive pedals made. Compact size and basic functions make this pedal extremly popular and widely used. It can go anywhere between a semi-clean boost and wide array of screaming overdrive. This is the pedal that will turn your clean amp into a animal.......

The HOTCAKE is built in a small all metal enclosure and is true bypass but with LED. The new version has a tone knob that has replaced the Mid Range Boost Switch with powerful and more useful results. Made by Crowthers Audio in New Zealand these pedals are hand made. They have a 9V AC input and extremly well built. If you have a Twin, AC30 or any chiming clean amp that needs to growl try the Cake.......they are HOT!

PRUNES AND CUSTARD

prunes&custard.jpg (52232 bytes)The Prunes and Custard is very interesting pedal. But dont call it a Overdrive or Distortion its much more than that! Some say it falls into the Harmonic Generator/Intermodulator type of pedal. Well what the heck is that? Well instead of the distortion or overdrive coming from the clipping of the sine wave it has the waveform change its shape with intermodulation distortion.

The bottom line is that it produces very subtle to extreme sound changes for Synths, Drum Machines and Basses. Even Guitars if you want to mutate them....If you leave the switch off you get some very straight foward overdrive sounds that our wonderful. Switch it on and you go into outer space!!
