The Omnicomp is a fully featured optical compressor that combines the precision and clarity of the Apex with the presence and tone of the Monocomp. The Omnicomp is so flexible it can be used on a pedal board for live use, or in a studio for precision compression for all of your tracks.

 The Omnicomp is built with an internal 30 volt regulated supply to be able to cleanly and clearly handle signals all the way up to line level. The audio path is driven by a Burr Brown op amp for superior audio performance and extremely low noise. The compression element is a vactrol--an optical element that provides musical compression that is easy dial in.

 The side chain of the Omnicomp contains a gentle high pass filter that gets more steep for very low frequencies. This is tuned so that bass heavy instruments will not overly trigger the compression. Bass, guitar, drums, and vocals all work well with this compressor, with very even compression across their bandwidth.

The Calamity is an homage to the Civil War fuzz, with many added features to expand the usability of this classic design.

Many bass players turn to the Civil War variant of the Big Muff Pi fuzz circuit due to it's excellent low end response and heavy distortion tones. The Civil War can be a bit of a one-trick pony, and it usually sounds best with a passive bass. The Calamity is a tribute to the strengths of the Civil War fuzz, but with many improvements that give bass players a pallette of distortion tones.

High impedance input - can be used with active or passive basses
Low passed blend - blend in your lowest clean tones for even more low end punch
Variable mids - scoop the mids like in the stock circuit, or add them back in
Three clipping modes give a variety of distortion tones
Very low noise compared to traditional BMP designs
Low impedance output - behaves well with other pedals, preamps, and amplifiers
Accepts up to 24V DC

The Locust Star is an homage to the classic LM308 Rat distortion, combining an array of upgrades that make this one highly versatile dirt pedal. It is a small batch pedal and will be limited in production.

The tone control of a distortion pedal can drastically change the character. A simple passive filter can only provide one dimension of tonal range. The Locust Star instead uses an active shelving EQ, creating far more possible tonal profiles. The Bass control provides more than enough low end for bass players--no clean blend is needed. The Treble control ranges from bright and raspy all the way to a dark and warm tone. To get a mid-forward tone, turn both EQ knobs down and boost the volume. To get a mid-scooped tone, turn both EQ knobs up and lower the volume. The EQ is flat with both knobs at noon.

The Scorpion is a highly adaptive overdrive pedal designed specifically with bassists in mind. The Scorpion stands out by implementing a resonant feedback circuit, allowing the dynamics and punch of your clean signal to come through without the need for a clean blend. Unlike most overdrives that offer a baked-in signature tone, the Scorpion can be transparent or transformative. Allow your inherent tone to shine, or reshape it entirely into a powerful, cutting bass tone.

The Depth knob gives complete control of the low frequency clipping, ranging from a lean, grindy tone, all the way to a full on bass distortion. Increasing the Depth knob allows more lows to be clipped, making the signal thicker and heavier.
