The Pigtronix Philosopher’s Tone pedal is a state-of-the-art analog compressor / sustainer, providing endless clean sustain. With variable Sustain (threshold), Blend (ratio) and Treble controls, the Philosopher’s Tone offers a huge range of compression sounds for the discerning musician. The Philosopher’s Tone also contains a smooth diode clipping distortion with a blend control for clean or dirty compression sounds and any mixture of the two. While the Philosopher’s Tone distortion rocks on its own, it is designed to play well with other dirt pedals in order to create your ultimate distortion tone that sustains forever.

Philosopher’s Tone (GermaniumGold Ltd.)

WADE INTO THE WAVES
Tide Rider is an analog tremolo pedal that encapsulates the wobble and wave of a vintage tube amplifier while allowing musicians to push this classic effect into futuristic territory. It features a transistor-based tremolo circuit coupled with a wide range LFO that is capable of both wildly fast and ridiculously slow modulation. Speed and Depth knobs provide sounds that range from subtle to extreme in both rate and overall intensity. These traditional controls are joined by a push button toggle switch that changes the speed range of the LFO to allow for dramatic raygun and AM synthesis effects when turned all the way up.

Gamma Drive

Der Philosopher’s Tone von Pigtronix, eine Kombination aus Sustainer/Compressor und Distortion, wird seit einiger Zeit nicht mehr hergestellt. Nun bringt der Hersteller aus Long Island, New York, mit dem Philosopher’s Tone Micro eine abgespeckte Version des Pedals, das zum einen in einem kleinere Gehäuse steckt und zum anderen auf den Distortion verzichtet.

Famous for its noiseless clean sustain, the Philosopher’s Tone has staked its claim in the crowded world of compressor pedals. In addition to Volume and Sustain controls, the Philosopher’s Tone features a parallel Blend knob that allows the musician to mix their instrument’s original tone with the compressed sound effect. This technique restores natural pick-attack and allows more extreme sustain settings to remain musical. The Treble control provides up to a 6db cut or boost at 2kHz for fine-tuning the frequency response of the effect. The Philosopher’s Tone features true-bypass switching and internal 18V power rails for maximum clean headroom, even when used with hot pickups and line level signals.

Philosopher’s Tone Micro

Class A Boost will fatten up and boost anything you feed it. This deceptively simple design uses discreet J-FET transistors in a single-ended “Class A” configuration to achieve the warmest possible tone. Class A Boost can deliver up to 20db of clean boost and remains effective with both instrument and line level signals. Superior signal to noise performance allows you to put the Class A Boost anywhere in your pedal chain. It can add punch and extra output to a classic overdrive sound and is able to push distortion pedals into extremely aggressive crunch land. Class A Boost is also ideal for hitting the front end of a tube amp to achieve an added layer of sweetness.
