NAMMasturbation 2015 (Winter Edition)

[Ev_O)))]

I predict this volume pedal will be the best on the market, and while too expensive for most of us here, will thereon set out to rule the p&w boards of the world.

Good lookng throw, no string, compact.
Why did it take this long, really?

This thing has got my attention........

overview
the zero point flanger is the most direct analogy to studio tape flanging that anybody has come up with. It is a real time effect not a typical modulation effect. That is to say, unlike all other pedal flangers, there is no lfo that presents a predictable up and down swooshing sound, the trite flanger effect that died in the 80s. Thus there is no need for extraneous knobs or switches. It is a straight-foward pedal that has only one powerful control that behaves like pressing and holding your thumb on tape flange.

When the zero point is engaged two delay lines are turned on, subtly modulating against the other simulating the comb filtering effect akin to the playback of two tape machines. Pressing and holding the “flange push-button” causes one of the delay lines to slowly shift time toward the other delay line, up to the point that your signal begins to cancel out, the zero point! Release the flange push-button and the delay line begins to automatically fall again. The result is the whispy subtractive ‘thru-zero’ sound that creates a sense of space and mystery. An effect that up until now we’ve only heard on records. It behaves just like manually advancing the take up reel and pressing your thumb on the supply reel to slow the program down.

That looks pretty neat and I will check it out. CB stuff never my taste though. Very nice and functional but I always move on.

You'd think they'd at least put one knob to control the speed at which it reaches the zero point. And maybe a feedback control. I get what they were going for with the simplicity thing but why not make it a tiny bit more flexible?

EDITING FOR CLARIFIED DESCRIPTIONS

Their whole line-up has my interest piqued, but that one in particular... where'd you get the description from?

The rest of their jank:

Talisman (plate reverb)


Antichthon (fuzz-tremolo)


Valcoder (tremolo)


They're also playing up the Galileo and Sabbra Cadabra...

Definitely feeling the current design language more than previous iterations...

Yeah that's peculiar. Maybe internal (set it and forget it style)?

And why why why why no stereo outs for the delay lines

The Talisman is their long-teased plate reverb. The Antichton is a "fuzz-tremolo." Interesting. I bet all four of those new pedals used together could create some pretty cool sounds.

Also, I predict that Tone Concepts will release the ugliest pedal of all time that is a signature version of their Distillery pedal which already sounds like it does nothing. Oh wait, that came true:

Oh hell yeah! Thanks, dude!

I agree that they are more interesting. That fuzz-tremolo might be nice.

The echorec had that trimmer for boost, so maybe. I think that zero-point could work well with other things if the momentary switch works the way I hope it will. I will be real interested in a demo for sure. Kind of excited for a different comb filter.

These guys have me pretty excited. Seems like some instant gratification.
