The Super Slinky, a Stereo Tube Reverberator

The Super Slinky A massive Stereo Spring Reverb unit with a massive sound. Fully discrete Class-A signal path, powered only by vacuum tubes and JFET transistors. Overdrive it into sweet harmonic tube distortion and make it howl with innovative Feedback and Cross-Feed controls. Adding that analog tube warmth and lucious spring reverb to your tracks is super easy in one box. Highest quality springs that don’t sound so springy!

• Two Type-9 Accutronics Reverb tanks give luscious, thick reverberation through a total of 12 springs
• Long decay time of over 4 seconds, with the option to connect different tanks to channel B at the rear
• Transformerless Pentode Driver stages giving flatter frequency response than conventional low impedance systems found in most reverbs
• Switchable Low-Cut filter on drive stage cutting at 200Hz or 600Hz, or off allowing all frequencies in
• Large VU Meter displaying drive strength and calibrated to indicate tube clipping in the red zone
• Low noise discrete reverb recovery using a hand-selected JFET followed by a 12AX7 triode amplifier
• Innovative Feedback control which allows slow feedback of the reverb signal, and self-oscillation
• Cross-feed switch gives bigger depth to a stereo source, putting the wet signals to opposite sides
• Bass & Treble cut controls, defeatable when Treble is turned fully CCW
• Transformer-balanced 600 ohm inputs and outputs on XLR connectors
• 3U standard 19 inch rack case, 350mm deep with removable mesh cover
• Laser-cut red plexiglass panel with white and gold painted engravings

Miss Ray Gun and her Multi-Tap Phase Modulator!

Get that awesome swooping phased drum sound, a crazy panning guitar solo, or even a fast watery vibrato on a vocal. This rack-mount Phaser is like no other with a warm tube character and and a large range of sound-bending possibilities. It’s possible to overdrive it, and it outputs in stereo. The comb filtering and panning effects are stunning and the self-oscillating territory is super fun! You will be pushed to find anything similar on the market today.

• All-tube Class A signal path with noiseless transformer-based phase modulation
• Input level and Output trim allowing overdrive if desired
• Each of three phasing stages can be mixed and panned to the stereo output
• Clean signal can also be mixed in and inverted if desired
• The Feedback control allows for resonant phasing, ring modulation, and even self-oscillation
• Triangle & Square Wave Internal LFO (0.5-15Hz) and External C.V. input on rear panel
• In EXT mode the phase can be manually swept with the Intensity control when no CV jack is inserted
• Phase can be manually swept with Intensity control when no C.V. jack is inserted
• Magic Eye Indicator Tubes for input signal level and modulation rate
• Tubes used are three 12AU7 twin triodes and two EM84 Magic Eye Indicators
• Input and outputs are +4dBu unbalanced jacks
• Transformer-balanced Input and Outputs available on request
• 2U standard 19 inch rack case, 250mm deep
• Laser-cut translucent blue plexiglass panel with switchable backlight (FOH/live use) and white and red painted engravings

FETA 76-A, a Discrete JFET Compression Amplifier

The FETA may not seem like the king of cheeses, but this thing really wins in the flavour competition amongst solid-state compressors. Based on the renowned UREI 1176-Rev.A this device gives all the aggression and artifacts of the original with some handy added features that make it easier to use. Two independent but linkable compressors in one 2U case gives big space saving with a huge uncompromised sound.

• Fully Discrete Class-A signal path with no op-amps involved
• Large adjacent VU meters to monitor Gain Reduction or Output level
• Rugged Bourns T-Pad input attenuators & Alpha pots throughout
• Hand-selected transistors throughout, stereo matched for gain
• Fully independant power supplies with common power transformer
• Gain Reduction defeatable to allow for colouring of the signal without compression
• Transformer-balanced inputs and outputs (XLR) using Cinemag and Anderson Iron
• 2U standard 19 inch rack case, 300mm deep
• Laser-cut black plexiglass panel with white painted engravings
• *With optional RCA knobs as seen on photos

This massive beast is our flagship tube compressor and he kicks as hard as the strongest horse! Two linkable channels of slick vari-mu tube compression using vintage tubes, Lundahl & Edcor transformers, with circuitry quite similar to the Altec 436 Compressor along with added improvements. A full 5U panel of controls leaves you with huge options for all sorts of dynamics control. Push it hard and you get subtle overdrives and nicely rounded waveforms!

• All-tube balanced signal path with smooth overdrive tones and harmonics when pushed (more controlled than the Black Bottle due to negative feedback in the output stages)
• Large vintage meters for Gain Reduction & mini meters for Input/Output level
• Attack & Release controls with times of 4-120ms & 0.1-2s respectively
• Thump switch gives slower attack curve and Dual Rel. switch doubles the release time
• 6-step Sidechain High-Pass Filter for bass-heavy material
• Stepped Output Attenuators
• Stereo Link switch for use on a stereo buss (Ch.A Attack & Release become master)
• Transformer-balanced 600 ohm inputs and outputs on XLR sockets (outputs pre-loaded internally)
• 5U standard 19 inch rack case, 250mm deep including transformers at the rear
• Laser-cut green plexiglass panel with white painted engravings
• Optional panel backlight for live/FOH use
• Optional fast-acting “Transient Eye™” tube meters for input/output monitoring
• Fully stepped control version also available for easy recall

The Black Bottle, a Thermionic Compression Amplifier

A rare variation of Vari-Mu Compression Amplifier using vintage black metal tubes from the 1950s era made by RCA, which are hand selected. Largely inspired by the infamous Federal AM864U US Navy Broadcast Limiter, with many additions and improvements. With oodles of gain and an aggressive non-feedback controlled 6SN7 output stage, this ancient-looking device is capable of wonderfully fat compression and meaty distortions in many flavours.

• All-tube balanced signal path with sweet overdrive tones and harmonics when pushed
• Max gain of 36dB, making it usable as a mic pre-amp/comp. on loud sources
• Large vintage meter switchable between Gain Reduction and Output level-Stepped Attack & Release controls with times of 5-100ms & 0.1-2s respectively- 6-step Output Attenuator
• Stereo Link switch for tying a pair of Black Bottle units together at their side chain
• Transformer-balanced 600 ohm input and output on XLR sockets (output pre-loaded internally)
• 3U standard 19 inch rack case, 230mm deep including tubes and transformer at the rear
• Laser-cut black plexiglass panel with white and gold painted engravings
