JAM GUITARS - PIGTRONIX BOUTIQUE EFFECTS PEDALS

THE BEST FROM AROUND THE WORLD

58 Alma Vale Rd, Bristol, BS8 2HS 0117 3307607

Pigtronix were started in 1994 in California with the intention of 'designing and producing, boutique quality, technologically advanced analog effects pedals' and that is most certainly what they do! Rather than trying to emulate the past the Pigtronix team concentrate on producing effects that have a wide range of sounds and great flexibility. All the pedals combine several functions in one box. These are great pedals for experimentation and are equally suited to using on bass or keyboards. This is the kind of thing you need hanging around in the studio to give you a new sound and some inspiration!

All prices include UK delivery.

OFO DISNORTION      Ł179

Three effects in one - Octave, Fuzz and Overdrive which can all be switched on together for serious sonic mayhem! The Octava circuit is fairly clean (fuzz can be added afterwards) and gives a variety of classic sounds from clean high octaves to 'ring modulatorish' wierdness. The Octava is in series before the Fuzz and Overdrive which are wired in parallel. The Fuzz section has level and gain controls as well as a preset tone filter - the shape control. This gives you 6 options: Full range, FAT, Smooth, Treble, Mid Scoop and Bass (handily written on the side of the unit for reference - although your ears should be able to tell!). These do pretty much what you would expect and are all really useable - just choose your favourite. The fuzz is smooth and harmonically rich even on the Treble setting. The overdrive is a great touch responsive circuit that just sounds good - the tone control doesn't have a great range - but it doesn't need it here.

Then of course we have the option of combining all three together which can give you some really nasty sounds. The octave effect definitely sounds good with a bit of fuzz. When effects are combined the Octave level control doesn't function and the Fuzz and Overdrive are in parallel so the two sounds can be blended together. This gives you a huge variety of sounds from the one box. This is a no compromise multi effect box - all three effects are good in their own right and the one box solution works well and offers good value for money. For additional flexibility there is a buffered clean signal out which could be used for recording or controlling the EP-1 if you want things to get seriously weird!

EP-1 ENVELOPE PHASER      Ł199

First and foremost this is a great Phaser even before we get into the possibilities offered by the Envelope follower or side chain input. The phaser section has 4 controls: Speed and Character control the rate and wave shape of the LFO, while the Intensity is the Wet/Dry mix and the Resonance controls the feedback. What this all adds up to is a lot of control over the sound - any kind of phase shifted sound is possible. Throughout the range these are warm, fat analogue sounds even when things start to get to the weird end of the range and they all have an expressive vocal quality. The phase shifting can be switched between additive and subtractive phasing - which can best be summed up as additive being harder and a little brighter and subtractive a slightly darker softer tone. The LED changes from red to green to indicate which is selected.

The vocal sound of this phaser is taken a huge step further by the envelope follower which takes the place of the LFO and the phaser is then controlled by your picking. Some experimentation with the Sweep and Sensitivity controls is recommended to get the most from this mode. On top of this you have the option of controlling the Phaser with an external signal into the trigger input - this could be a clean split of your guitar signal or a signal from another instrument entirely - this could come into it's own in the studio.
All in all, this really does do everything you could possibly want from a Phaser and probably more you hadn't thought of and would be equally at home on stage or in the studio. The quality of sounds and the range on offer more than justify it's price. This pedal only runs off the supplied 12V power supply.
