Valve Age Model 1

REPro Audio Valve Age Model 1 on RigShare
This device is a tube distortion/over drive effect for guitar. Thanks to the particular PCB design and a meticulous search for quality of the sound REPro it has managed to create a distortion of the unique harmonic respose and great versatility. Thanks to the quality of components and engineering, we think we have reached our goal at the best. Using VALVE AGE MODEL 1 you don’t ruin the sound of your guitar, but rather, you will emphasise the character of your pickup! VALVE AGE MODEL1 has 5 knobs and a toggle switch: S-WAVE, TUBE, TONE, BIAS, VOLUME, SINUSOIDE. S-wave controls the first distortion stage, smoothing out the waves and giving the sound a warm sound and incisive. SINUSOIDE This toggle switch It allows you to select the type of distortion: in the first position you will have only positive wave crest, the second, both the positive and the negative. Selecting the second position would obtain an attenuation of the output signal of 12db. due to the transition of wave crests . This attenuation can be compensated by adjusting the volume control. TUBE acts on the signal which transits in grids of sending her valve gradually more and more saturated. This turns VALVE AGE MODE 1, through a particular circuit configuration, in a pre-amp tube. Enriching your signal of even harmonic. BIAS this particular control changes the current passing through the valve, allowing to change the colors to your sound. TONE is a filter that acts on the frequency providing you find your tonal response. Turning the knob to the left acts as a low pass to a minimum attenuating the high frequencies, while turning the knob toward the right will emphasize high frequencies. Keeping the potentiometer in the center will not be making any changes of frequencies (FLAT ). The cutoff frequency. It has an attenuation of -12db per octave VOLUME adjusts the output volume. FOOTSWITCH for the activation of the effect pedal is a TRUE BYPASS.

Bonsai

In the late 1970's the overdrive pedal was arguably perfected when Japanese engineers designed the sound that we now know as the heart and soul of so many of our favorite artists, recordings and sounds. Players ranging from The Edge, Trey Anastasio, Buddy Guy, Kirk Hammett, John Mayer, SRV, Carlos Santana and thousands more from every possible genre have utilized and depended on this classic iconic green box. If a single effect pedal was chosen to board a Voyager 3 mission and be solely responsible for showing the universe the sound of overdrive, it would undoubtably be Tube Screamer. It is probably the most produced and sold pedal in the history of guitar pedals! The Bonsai is our tribute to one of the greatest pedals ever created. Following in the steps of our Muffuletta (released 2015), the Bonsai utilizes a simple rotary knob to switch through nine classic, vintage, rare, or hard to find variations of the Screamer. Creating the Bonsai became an archeological dig of sorts that sent us deep into the history of this circuit by examining dozens of versions, variations and replications. At the end of it all, Josh chose nine of his personal and favorite units and we painstakingly replicated every nuance and aspect of each pedal. One of the most challenging parts of this project was accounting for component drift as many of these pedals were decades old and the internal components had strayed from their original values. Each pedal was individually replicated using our Audio Precision analyzer and various other methods that allowed us to perfectly replicate every aspect of the sound and feel of the unit. It's important to know that the Bonsai is not a "box of mods," it is exact replications of these nine units all housed in one box! The Bonsai is exact replication, not emulation. When you choose a mode on the Bonsai rotary, you are actually activating components specific to each mode and playing the unit that Josh chose along with all the quirks, drift, vintage mojo, and individuality that a vintage pedal has.
