Everything about this pedal screams Texas! Right down to the beautiful hand painted chassis that adorns some of our favorite things about AGH's hometown of Austin Texas! We had these pedals built with a Texas flavor in mind tonally as well. Including some of our favorite tones from our friends at JAM Pedals.
This all analog Multi Pedal's signal path is as followed.
WAHCKO > DYNASSOR > TUBEDREAMER > HARMONIOUS MONK > DELAY LLAMA
Needing only one power supply, and also featuring a built in passive FX Loop, this all in one is truly that!
After years of appearing as a mainstay on many pros’ boards and earning its fair share of praise and awards, the Wahcko has established itself as the most vocal, expressive and at the same time versatile wah pedal out there.
FEATURING:
1. RED Fasel inductor
2. Carbon-Comp resistors
3. 6-position rotary switch for different frequency sweep range
4. internal trimmer for adjusting the input gain
5. mini LED
The Wahcko features a bufferless proprietary circuit design that allows for impedance sensitive pedals, like germanium fuzz boxes to be placed after the Wahcko with no issues!
Whether you are after the squashing power of a dinosaur, capable of that vintage thumpy attack and endless sustain, or you just want to musically tame your dynamic range, the NOS CA3080 chip equipped Dyna-ssoR will effortlessly nail it for you.
The good folks at JAM Pedals are committed to creating well designed circuits that feature the minimum number of controls that are straight-forward and responsive and sound great no matter how you dial them in. The Dyna-ssoR is a great testament to exactly this effort!
It makes everything sound like more!
ARTISTS USING THE DYNA-SSOR:Adrian Legg, Dweezil Zappa, Greg Koch, Guy Pratt, Robert Randolph, Jeff Berlin, Adam Levy, Sean Ono Lennon
Back when JAM originally introduced the Tubedreamer58 there weren’t as many 808 style pedals out there. We claimed then as we claim now; this is probably the best 808 style overdrive you can get your hands on!
With a carefully tuned, added midrange frequency register, the Tubedreamer delivers warm and rich overdriven sound through any amp.
A pivotal difference between the Tubedreamer and other Tubescreamers, is our choice to go with 3 diodes for asymmetrical clipping instead of symmetrical, enhancing the responsiveness of the pedal to fretting and picking nuances.
Made with carbon comp resistors, the Tubedreamer employs the legendary JRC4558D chip to deliver its classic sound, just like in the original, sought-after 808’s, and also introduces a wider gain range accessible by the high-gain-stage toggle-switch.
ARTISTS USING THE TUBEDREAMER:
Bill Frisell, Dweezil Zappa, Alex Skolnick, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Nels Cline, Julien Kasper, Kirk Fletcher, Gilad Hekselman, Joe Robinson
WHAT'S NEW:
TAP tempo
Ramp function: holding the TAP switch will ramp to a second speed. You can determine the second speed, as well as the rate of the ramp between the two tremolo speeds.
There is a second mode of operation called the Legacy mode which retains and expands on the mk.1’s functionality since now you can choose to have x2 (double) or x1.5 (dotted eighth) speed multiplying options!
New LFO waveform added: Reverse Sawtooth
CHOP (kill dry) function
In addition to the mk.1's 3 internal EQ trimmers, the mk.2 features a new internal trimmer to adjust input gain control to optimise Harmonious Monk mk.2 for use with guitar, bass, keys, or anything else you might want to throw at it!
You can now specify the startup state of the mk.2, to ON or OFF upon receiving power!
DETAILS / SPECS:
OPERATION MODE SELECTION:
The mk.2 comes with the Tap & Ramp mode preselected.
In order to switch between the Tap & Ramp and Legacy modes, keep both footswitches pressed until the LEDs blink, indicating mode change.
RAMPING FEATURE:
Only available while in the Tap & Ramp mode.
A prolonged press of the TAP footswitch will engage ramping from the original to the fixed user-selectable speed.
In order to determine the fixed user-selectable speed, while keeping the TAP footswitch pressed, adjust the Speed potentiometer to taste - make sure to return the Speed to the original position after releasing the TAP footswitch.
In order to determine how long it takes to travel from the original speed to the fixed user-selectable speed, while keeping the TAP footswitch pressed, adjust the Depth potentiometer to taste - make sure to return the Depth to the original position after releasing the TAP footswitch.
SPEED MULTIPLYING FEATURE:
Only available while in the Legacy mode.
An instantaneous press of the TAP footswitch will engage and disengage the speed multiplying function.
There are 2 available factors: x2 and x1.5 (dotted feel). In order to change the multiplication factor, keep the TAP footswitch pressed until you see 2 TAP LED blinks for the x2 factor or 3 TAP LED blinks for the x1.5 factor.
CHOP FEATURE:
While in the Amplitude mode and with the Square LFO selected, you can activate the CHOP effect (kill-dry) which effectively alternates between sound and complete silence. While in the aforementioned settings, simply turn the Depth potentiometer all the way up (to the right) for the CHOP effect to kick in.
KNOBS:
● D = Depth of tremolo effect
● S = Speed (rate) of tremolo modulation
● L = Master volume Level
● M = Mix between dry and effected signal
TOGGLE-SWITCHES:
● Top 2-way toggle switch: Top position for Harmonic, bottom position for Amplitude tremolo modes
● Lower 3-way toggle switch: Top position for Square, middle position for Sine, bottom position for Reverse Sawtooth LFO shapes
FOOTSWITCHES:
● LEFT: Turns the pedal ON / OFF
● RIGHT: TAP TEMPO / SPEED X
JACKS:
● IN: Input
● OUT: Output
● 9V: 9V DC power (see specifications)
INTERNAL TRIMMERS:
● TOP ROW of 3: LEFT: Treble EQ | MIDDLE: Midrange EQ | RIGHT: Bass EQ controls only for wet (effected) sound
● LOWEST TRIMMER: Adjusts the input gain of the pedal’s wet path - this will affect the wet signal’s output level
SPECIFICATIONS
● True Bypass
The Delay Llama is a tone machine that will become an indispensable part of your sound adding warmth and depth through organic repeats which seamlessly integrate into your playing, courtesy of its BBD chips , faithful reproductions of the Panasonic MN3205.
Its straight-forward layout is addressed to delay users who are looking to elegantly enhance their hard-earned tone, similarly to how a tape-echo machine would with no frills.
The mk.3 version expands on the utility value of this modern classic, while retaining the form factor and ease of use, by introducing Tap Tempo with subdivisions and Hold (self oscillation) functions. You can also set the bypass mode to trails (buffered) or true bypass!
The Delay Llama mk.3 comes with 600ms max. delay time , and can also be used with bass guitars.
Controls:
L: Level of the repeats on top of your dry signal
T: Sets the delay time
R: Sets the amount of repeats
3-way toggle-switch: selects between quarter, eighth and dotted eighth notes - only works relative to the time you TAP in not the time knob
Internal trimmers:
