Night Wire V2
Harmonic Tremolo
The Night Wire V2 is a feature-rich harmonic tremolo. What is harmonic tremolo? In short, the signal is split into high pass and low pass filters, then modulated with an LFO that is split 180 degrees.
In non-techy terms this means that Night Wire lands in a weird but wonderful place somewhere between a Tremolo, Vibe, Wah and a Phaser, ending up with one of the most magical and mesmerizing sounds a human being will ever hear.
So plug in and let yourself be seduced by the exhilaratingly expressive tones of the Night Wire!
Main Features:
- Feature-rich Harmonic Tremolo
- Attack mode – adjusts rate and depth of the tremolo based on your attack
- LFO mode – continously sweeps the filter for phaser-like tones
- New V2 flexi-switch – allows for latch and momentary operation
- True bypass – silent soft-touch switching
- Improved circuit design – for lower noise and better performance
- Top-mounted jacks – for effortless pedalboard implementation

Space Spiral V2
Modulated Delay Device
What up, cosmonauts? Welcome to the Space Spiral™V2!
The Space Spiral is a dark and dreamy modulated delay designed to take you across the highways of fantasy. While the delay may be designed around a dawn of digital echo processor, the sound is out of this world, man.
If you are a fan of the dreary echoes produced by old oil can delays or the ethereal sound of a well-loved tape delay, the Space Spiral is totally going to tickle your tone bone.
Main Features:
- Digital Analog-Voiced Modulated Delay – with 30ms to 600ms of delay time
- Dark, dreamy, murky delay sounds reminiscent of vintage oil-can and tape units
- Variable waveshape LFO – adjustable from triangle through square wave
- New V2 flexi-switch – allows for latch and momentary operation
- True bypass – Silent soft-touch switching
- All-analog dry signal path
- Top-mounted jacks – for effortless pedalboard implementation

Hummingbird V4
Repeat Percussions
The Hummingbird V4 is a choppy, sawtooth tremolo modeled on the vintage repeat percussion unit and similar to those found in old Valco and Vox amplifiers and is capable of producing everything from classic 50s style shimmering tremolo to a synthy, delay-like chop that turns your signal into a burst of short pings and on through to near ring modulation speeds.
To make things even more fun and expressive, the new Flexi-Switch allows you to use the pedal in momentary mode for sudden accentuations of parts with slow subtle airwaves or bursts of aggressive and fast choppy synth-like trem tones.
Main Features:
- Repeat percussions / Tremolo – Vintage choppy, sawtooth tremolo tones
- Dark, dreamy, murky delay sounds reminiscent of vintage oil-can and tape units
- Variable waveshape LFO – adjustable from triangle through square wave
- New flexi-switch – allows for latch and momentary operation
- True bypass – Silent soft-touch switching
- All-analog dry signal path
- Top-mounted jacks – for effortless pedalboard implementation

Tentacle V2
Analog Octave Up
The Tentacle V2 is a classic analog octave up effect. It is the very same octave from our beloved Hoof Reaper pedal. We got so many requests to make this a stand-alone unit that we just had to make it a reality and now you can now add an excellent, swelling octave up to anything your heart desires!
Now, with the new V2 Flexi-Switch you can momentarily trigger this amazing octave, enabling you to make certain melodies and riffs stand out as you suddenly drench them in the dynamic stinging and synth-like tones of the Tentacle. For standard latching operation, tap the footswitch once to activate the effect and then tap again to bypass. For momentary operation, hold the footswitch down for as long as you’d like to use the effect. Once you release the switch the effect will be bypassed.
Main Features:
- Analog Octave Up pedal
- Recreates the upper octave effect heard in vintage fuzz pedals
- Simple controls – the Tentacle is either on or off. No knobs!
- New V2 flexi-switch – allows for latch and momentary operation
- True bypass – silent soft-touch switching
- All-analog signal path
- New enclosure w. Top-mounted jacks – for effortless pedalboard implementation

Arrows V2
Preamp Boostet
The Arrows V2 is an all-discrete tone sculpting preamp booster and was designed with the intention of adding an additional channel of gain to all your dirt pedals, as well as brightening up neck pickups. It boosts midrange, tightens up the low end and makes the top end shine while adding some push to drive your dirt into blooming sustain with excellent harmonics.
Its simple interface is no nonsense; a single control that will either boost or cut your signal. While the new V2 enclosure, with its top-mounted jacks, make fitting the pedal even into the most crowded pedal board a breeze. Use the Arrows V2 to remove the muck from bass heavy fuzz pedals, push light overdrives into higher gains than you thought possible or even on its own to make your signal really pop with more pizazz.
Main Features:
- Preamp Booster pedal – Built on all-discrete analog circuitry
- Designed to be stacked; Adds additional gain channel to dirt pedals
- Dirt-simple to use – One knob to rule them all!
- Brightens dark sounding neck pickups
- Boosts midrange and tightens up low-end
