The A+ Astronaut III is more than just another reverb pedal. It is the third generation of an atmospheric powerhouse which boasts a rich tonal palette and a huge range of flavors: from traditional reverb algorithms to complex acoustic structures and arpeggios.

The pedal contains 22 varied algorithms — including extended versions of some from the Astronaut, Astronaut V.2 and Shift Line Force — as well as an infinite sustain mode (Infinity Mode). Among other nice features are top-mounted jacks, switchable tails, a soft bypass switch, and a full-range wet/dry mix with an option to go 100% wet. Just like the previous generations, the Astronaut III is flexible, easy to use, and very musical. With this inspiring device, crafting complex soundscapes is a breeze!

Astronaut III

Every guitar or bass player has their own favorite amps and cabinets. Yet however much you love a stack's sound, you will probably have trouble hurling it on and off the stage, let alone playing it at home (unless you don't mind your family and neighbors going deaf). And you never know the quality of the backline the venue is going to provide you with.

The solution for gigging players came in the form of cabinet simulation units (cabsims), which let you approximate your favourite cabinet's sound. Analog cabsims were pretty good for plugging into the PA but used to lack detail in their sound — and they only modeled a limited number of cabinets. Next came digital cabsims, and their incredibly detailed sound pushed cabinet simulation to a whole new level. They were, however, quite expensive and not pedalboard-friendly enough.

This eventually led us to creating the A+ Cab Zone LE — a digital IR-based cabinet simulation device. The Impulse Response Convolution technology provides a realistic sound and preserves the unique character of the cabinet and microphone used to record the impulse.

CabZone LE

The A+ Prism II is a new version of the Prism-9 complex effect pedal. Combining multiple techniques in a single unit, the device employs an outside-the-box approach to sound processing. The Prism II is comprised of subtractive and additive synthesis elements along with reverberation and various types of modulation (frequency, temporal and spatial). Rather than being lined up in a typical linear fashion, all parts of the system form a single "organism", allowing multiple parameters to be tweaked simultaneously. You could try and replicate it by using a chain of multiple time-synced effects — but that would be no easy feat, as the Prism II has 3 pitch shifting sections, 4 multimode filters, 2 modulation blocks, and a single reverb section. All the elements are organized in two identical chains (as the device works in stereo) with a separate mix section at each stage. The pedal's four LFOs provide extensive control over the stereo field and filter automation. The Prism II can be controlled via the TAP footswitch or synced to an external clock. Additionally, the device offers an expression pedal simulation mode along with a DETUNE function.

A+ Prism II

True tube sound in compact casing.

Shift Line are huge fans of the Fender sound. Shift Line Twin mkII is based on the '65 Fender Twin combo amp. Twin recreates the authentic sound of the 30kg (64lbs) combo in a 600g (1.3lbs) box, adding some useful features in the process. Overall design and testing took us about 5 years. We spent most of this time comparing our preamp with the original amp face-to-face, (we had the original one in our workshop). After that, the device was tested for live and studio use by musicians.

We also added some options to further improve Twin's flexibility. We added a series effects loop, a phones output and an aux input. The recording output with a specifically designed switchable speaker simulator is the final touch to this Swiss knife for any guitar player.
