The Astronomer Dlx

OCTAVER

OVERDRIVE

COMPRESSOR

Prepare to be starstruck! Whereas the standard Astronomer is mostly faithful to the design of the Carlin Compressor, the Astronomer Deluxe adds some cool extra features and flexibility. The most exciting feature in this version is the Octave switch. This allows you to tap into the rectified signal from the "broken" envelope detector, giving you access to an analog octave up. Turning up the fuzz and compression gives you a dirty octave that's a little bit mellower than classic octave fuzz pedals, while backing it off allows for a clean octave that's capable of ring-mod-like sounds. This feature also shines when you hit the input with your fuzz pedal of choice, giving you the octave fuzz you've been dreaming of. There are also internal trim pots for the octave-on level and tone, so you can boost for solos and cut out any harshness.
