The Stupid Box from Sub-Decay Studios. This stomp box is not very intelligent, but works as a super versatile distortion. The Stupid Box employs soft clipping just like vintage tube screamers, but driven much harder and with a full range frequency response. This Dumb Box can go from high gain to blues, with a twist of the gain knob.

What's it all about?

If you play a clean open cab 6L6-based amp, and don't want to give up your great clean tone, but have always been jealous of those guys with the half stacks, the stupid box is what you have been waiting for. If you play a 2 channel high gain amp, and struggle for those in-between tones this is a great pedal to have as well. The Stupid Box has a variable frequency filter unlike most distortion boxes which only let you control the roll off, making it much easier to match the pedal to the natural voicing of your amp.

Stupid Box

Ein chaotisches Gebräu... Irgendwo zwischen einem chaotischen Oktavgenerator, einem Gitarrensynthesizer und einem kaputten Roboter, der in einem wütenden Bienenstock steckt. Die Noisebox wurde von additiven Synthesizern inspiriert. Dieses Pedal muss man gehört haben, um es wirklich zu verstehen, aber ich werde trotzdem versuchen, es zu erklären.
Die Noisebox ist ein Generator für harmonische Frequenzen, der einer Hüllkurve folgt. (Schon verwirrt???) Die erzeugten Frequenzen sind harmonisch auf den Eingang bezogen und werden durch den Frequency-Regler, den Sense-Regler und den Chaos-Regler gesteuert.

A chaotic concoction… Somewhere in between a chaotic octave generator, guitar synth, and a broken robot stuck in an angry bee hive. The Noisebox was inspired by additive synthesizers. This pedal needs to be heard to be truly understood, but I’ll try to explain it anyway.
The Noise Box is an envelope following harmonic frequency generator. (Confused yet???) Frequencies generated are harmonically related to the input, and controlled by the Frequency knob, the Sense knob, and the Chaos knob.

Manual

Noise Box

From huge jet plane sweeps to swirly pitch vibrato the Starlight does everything a flanger should and more. This all analog bucket brigade based (MN3209) flanger adds the flexibility of digital control. There’s classic triangle shape modulation and wobbling sine wave for a super deep throb. We’ve also gone beyond the norm and included some of our favorite LFO’s from the Quasar DLX. Triangle/Square mix, Random Sample/hold and Step Triangle. There’s also a manual setting allowing you to use the speed knob to manually control the flanger.

From lush dreamy chorus to a cold metallic clang.

Starlight Quantum

Ein kleines Overdrive-Pedal mit viel Punch, das Ihre Gitarre hupen, bellen und schreien lässt. Der Gain-Bereich ist riesig, aber durchweg weich und raffiniert. Niedrige Gain-Einstellungen haben eine großartige dynamische Reaktion und Notendefinition. Wenn du den Drive voll aufdrehst, nähert sich der SuperNova Drive der vollen Verzerrung oder dem Fuzz.

Wenn man einem Overdrive zu viele Regler hinzufügt, verursacht das oft mehr Probleme, als dass es sie löst. Wahrscheinlich haben Sie schon einmal eine dieser „super vielseitigen“ Stompboxen besessen, die eine Menge Variationen bietet, aber in der Regel dazu führt, dass Sie mehr Zeit mit dem Tweaken als mit dem Musizieren verbringen. Dem eigentlichen Overdrive fehlt es in der Regel an Persönlichkeit und Charakter. Der EQ scheint oft auf eine billige Stereoanlage abgestimmt zu sein. Der Bass klingt in der Regel wie eine Art dicker Schlamm, wenn er aufgedreht wird, und verschwindet völlig, wenn er heruntergedreht wird. Die Mittenregler scheinen viel zu hoch eingestellt zu sein. Die Höhenregler fügen in der Regel nur ein rasierklingend dünnes Rauschen im oberen Bereich hinzu, das wie zerbrochenes Glas im Trommelfell klingt. Es ist an der Zeit, mit dem Drehen an den Reglern aufzuhören und mit dem Gitarrenspiel zu beginnen.

A little overdrive pedal with lots of punch that makes your guitar honk, bark and scream. The gain range is huge, but smooth and refined throughout. Low gain settings have great dynamic response and note definition. As you turn the drive to full The SuperNova Drive approaches full on distortion or fuzz.

Adding too many controls to an overdrive often causes more problems than it solves. You’ve probably owned one of those “super versatile” stompboxes before that offers a lot of variation, but usually leads to more time tweaking than making music. Usually the actual overdrive lacks any kind of personality or character. The EQ often seems tuned for a cheap stereo. The bass usually sounds like some kind of thick mud when turned up, and disappears completely when turned down. The midrange controls seem tuned far too high. The treble controls usually just add some razor blade thin hiss to the top end that sounds like broken glass in your ear drum. It’s time to stop turning knobs and start playing your guitar.

Super Nova Drive

Strap in, set your coordinates and propel your sound in to space. Turn on the Quantum Quasar and transmit the swirling fields of energy through your signal chain. The lush watery sounds are still there with the sine and triangle LFO shapes, but the options transverse the customary norms. Other LFOs offer distinguished nuances to unapologetic ‘in your face’ madness. Refined to the essentials, yet deep and rich. Like our other quantum series pedals versatility is maximized from a minimum of controls. 

The prominent shape control (missing from most other phasers) molds the sweep with six distinctly different functions, expanding your sonic options by cosmic proportions. The speed control ranges from slow and orbital to accelerated quantum vibrations. Regen controls the timbre of the effect ranging from subtle vibe to the edge of oscillation. This all analog VCA based phaser entangles your guitar signal with quantum magic. Designed with both clean and overdriven sounds in mind, the Quantum Quasar stands out, but easily integrates with other effects.
