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

The Gurgle and Moan is an envelope filter effect. This is a prototype pedal, and it does have some quirks and rough edges. On a few of them that we have built they oscillate with the resonance knob cranked. Also there is a bit of a "gurgle" in the background due to some crosstalk issues with the control voltage circuitry. I thought it sounded cool, although it may not be what everyone wants in a filter. 

This is a prototype pedal, and has no artwork, or labeling on the face of the pedal. There is a sticker on the back with a brief explanation of what the knobs do.

Controls
Lower right knob: Shape - Varies the shape of the filter from band pass or low pass.
Lower left knob: Resonance - Accents the cut off frequency of the filter. (At max setting it may oscillate)
Upper right knob: Depth- Varies how far your playing dynamics will modulate the filter cutoff frequency.
Upper left knob: Frequency - Varies the cut off frequency of the filter

Warranty: If it ever breaks send it back to us and we will fix it, unfortunately we no longer cover polar bear attacks, alien abduction, willfully destroyed pedals, or any claims involving time travel or toaster repair.

This pedal can be powered by a 9V battery or a standard boss style barrel plug adaptor. Has an LED, True bypass, and a powder coated finish for durability.

Gurgle & Moan

Take a trip back in time to the underappreciated 12bit era of synthesis. A time of experiments built for mass appeal. Finally, synthesizers were available to the everyday musician. One new idea was phase distortion synthesis.  Casio sold it as the answer to Yamaha’s FM synthesis. Ultimately, Casio discontinued the CZ phase distortion synthesizers, but these synthesizers garnered a cult following for their versatility and relative affordability.

The PixelWave covers a wide range of synthesizer sounds. From string ensembles to filter sweeps and resonant noise. Oscillators can be offset over four octaves by half-step increments and fine-tuning. Use this to create massive 80s unison leads or modern one key dance chords.

The Vagabond Tremolo embellishes upon one of the most tried and true effects of all time. Tremolo with vintage personality fused with added depth, more speed and more control. 

In the simplest terms tremolo modulates volume. This definition doesn’t exude the inflection of wah, the blunt weaponry of fuzz, or the obvious psychedelic ramifications of echo. In spite of the boring definition, tremolo is a defining sound of so many classic songs and artists. Like many other things in music the early classic designs were imperfect, and those imperfections made them what they were. It made them interesting.
