EMPRESS CHORUS VIBRATO

Her most enticing feature is the unique voicing control;

This dial allows you to access virtually any chorus sound you could desire! It changes the
delay time – it's on a pot so you've got an infinite number of chorus pedals in one box – from super spanky sparkling clean to noisy, sea sick inducing, pitch bending wobble.

Delay time determines a big part of any chorus units tone/flavour/sound - short delay creates a very
pristine, airy chorus whereas longer delay time gives more ‘wobble' and ‘throb'. Unfortunately virtually
all devices available only have one fixed delay setting – or at most a choice of two.....

We've designed a circuit that lets you adjust the delay time via a potentiometer – from one extreme
to the other and everything in between. In it's most extreme settings the device will produce some
hiss – this would be expected within the last third of the voicing controls sweep.



Vibe/Chorus Switch; Choose between Chorus or Vibrato mode. When in vibrato Mode you can use the voicing dial to choose from gentle, subtle pitch shifting through to wild semitone leaps. The voicing control functions in vibe mode the same way it does in chorus mode – it shifts the delay time.

  • Nasty or Nice – you choose.
  • Velocity; Super stand still slow to freaked out fast
  • Mix; As clean or as chorusy as you like
  • Depth; From a delicate flutter to a sickening swing.
  • Stereo Out; The Empress loves to function in stereo – harness her to two amplifiers and stand in between them – one will carry the dry signal and the other will carry the wet. The chorusing occurs in the air between the amps. Neat.
  • Bright switch; This allows you to access some more sparkle on the more shimmery settings (Set
    voicing anywhere between 7 o'clock and 11 o'clock) . Engaging this switch in more extreme
    settings will add background hiss.
  • Internal slide switch; The Empress has two different input stages – the slide switch lets you choose between them. The unit is preset by us to the Medusa input stage setting. The other position provides a little more boost and slightly different tonal response. Feel free to try both.
  • Switching; The Empress uses True Bypass switching. When she's not turned on she's just like a piece of guitar cable (A lady's allowed to have some quirks!).

The Fuzz God II

The Fuzz God is a celestial device featuring two hand picked, new old stock, Germanium transistors. The Fuzz God allows you to create fuzzyness of epic proportions (think red seas parting, burning bushes, pillars of salt etc). From your classic fuzz tones of the sustaining, soulful, singing kind through to those of utter chaos - encompassing suboctave madness, parasitic sustain and out of control fax machine dial lunacy. useable. interactive. versatile. omnipotent

  • Volume - This controls the output Volume - convert the masses quietly or with blasting trumpets (err, guitars)
  • Fuzz - From a gentle break up to a singing beam of fuzz - you decide!!!
  • Wrath - All gods have it and the Lord of the Fuzz is no different - click this only to smite the most brazen of unbelievers. When engaged (by depressng the lightning bolt footswitch) you can dial up all manner of destruction ;
  • SubOctave thunder, eternally sustained notes, squealing high frequency note corruption and a myriad number of other terrifying tones.
  • Sputter - Choose from a smooth singing fuzz to a ragged, rough, sputty gated mess and anything in between.
  • Awaken - A super sturdy truebypass switch to engage the Fuzz God effect.
  • Engage this footswitch to incur the wrath of the Fuzz God - crazed oscillation and octavization effects

The Fuzz God uses two hand selected Germanium transistors and we strongly believe that these sound best when used with a carbon cell battery, rather than an external power supply unit. Therefore the fuzz unit only will function when connected to a 9v battery.

Current draw is extremely low so that,as long as you turn it off after use (by disconnecting the input plug from the jack socket) a standard 9v battery will last a very long time. The 9v battery is easily accessed by removing the four screws from the base of the unit and lifting off the back panel.

NOTE; there is a super bright white LED - this is powered by the dc external supply. We recommend a Boss PSA unit - though anything with a 2.1mm barrel plug with a negative center pin is fine.

This means that the LED indicator circuit and the Fuzz circuit are on two totally isolated supplies - no interaction between them at all - toneful fuzz on the battery - nice bright indicator on the wall wart.

YOU CAN USE THE UNIT WITHOUT THE EXTERNAL SUPPLY AS LONG AS THERE IS A BATTERY IN THE UNIT- but the indictor needs the external supply.

The Pentavocal tremolo

A New Approach to Tremolo........... Yes indeed, the Red Witch Pentavocal tremolo offers several features that are completely unique and unavailable elsewhere.

Since the fifties the concept of tremolo has changed very little. Controls for Speed, Depth, Volume and Waveshape have been the parameters available for adjustment. Till now. The Pentavocal tremolo is simply that - a tremolo with five different voices to choose from. You can select the frequency response by turning the rotary selector to the desired setting. From a delicate, shimmery, flutter trem to a pulsy low end throb they're all there. The Pentavocal trem can certainly also do the classic sound of a vintage valve trem and then soooo much more. This pedal also has another unique feature - the Bottom control. Find out about this by reading...............

Velocity - This dial allows you to select the speed of the tremolo.
From Super Slow to Super Fast.

Depth - Allows you to control the depth of the effected sound (how ironic)

Volume - Select from zero output to well above unity gain - this enables you
to never be faced with the heinous volume drop that many trem
pedals have when they're providing really deep tremming.

Bottom - Yes – we’ve labeled one of the controls bottom – not out of homage
to a British comedy series or to the shapely derrière of the fairer sex,
but as a totally new option for tremolo users.
The Bottom control allows the user to dial in the amount of mid
range and hi frequency cut that occurs as the volume decreases in
the trem cycle. Simply put; Turn the bottom control all
the way to the left and the volume just increases and decreases
as per a normal trem, but set it all the way to the right and you’ll find that
as the volume decreases all of the hi end and midrange disappears.
You can of course dial in as little or as much of this effect as you like.
Turning the Bottom control fully clockwise whilst having the depth fully
clockwise also allows you to access an asymmetrical wave which
sounds incredibly pretty at high velocity.
Lucky old you.

Voicing - A five way rotary switch that lets you choose from 5 differently voiced
tremolo settings.

Tremulate Footswitch - Bring the effect into the the signal path by clicking this one.
Truebypass switching.

Wave Footswitch - Allows you to jump from a lovely smooth tremolo over to
a hard square chop by simply depressing your foot.
Bad foot, ugly, good for nothing foot..stinky foot.

Power - The Pentavocal trem can be powered from either a nine volt battery or
an external nine volt adapter (Boss PSA styled is ideal - though anything with a
2.1mm barrel plug with a negative center pin is fine.). This pedal uses some
sneaky circuitry to lift the internal voltage up to 17 regulated volts - the benefit of
this is far greater headroom.

Clip One; Clean, Three different voicings , Slow LFO, Fast LFO

Clip Two; The bottom control - first with bottom fully c/clockwise, then clockwise

Clip Three;The Wave Switch

The Moon DELUXE Phaser
What?

The Moon deluxe Phaser is an analog phase/ tremolo pedal with
a unique combination of the two - tremophase.It has an almost limitless array of sounds available through its three simple controls. It does not reproduce the sound of any other phaser, it is a unique new design with an incredibly warm
transparent tone we refer to as spatial sparkle.

How?

Three rotary controls allow the user to dial up infinite phase possibilities. The three controls
are labelled:

Velocity - determines the rate of the phase/
tremolo sweep - from an incredibly
slow rise and fall to a super fast
pulse.

Trajectory - A unique control which adjusts the
shape of the phased wave.

Cosmology - a six position rotary switch which
selects the phase, tremolo or tremo-
phase stage.

The Moon phaser can run from either a nine volt
battery, or from an external nine volt supply,
via a 3.5mm socket.

The pedal is housed in a diecast aluminum box
which has been heavily plated with shiny chrome,
and screen printed with the appropriate
heiroglyphics....... what more could you want!
All our pedals used only the highest quality,
close tolerance parts, to ensure decades of
hassle free phasing.
