I will be making a demo of his BMP fuzz (the right side of the tectonic shift) sometime this week hopefully to get some demo's out, it's an amazing pedal with HUGE low end. Wade knows whats up, I'm gonna try and get ahold of him for what I will talk about below...

Yes, yes they are. I'm going to try and get ahold of Wade to see if he will sell me an unbuilt unmarked tectonic shift chassis so I can have a friend build me a dual delay / reverb to go with my monolith built BMP. Shit will be hot for such a tiny little board.

I want a Tectonic Shift so badly, if it sounds as massive as I think it does I'll be in business.

no! :)
from what i have read the spectre is supposed to be a more trebly kind of fuzz but have no idea what circuit if any it's based on!
Spectre is great.
Can you tell the circuit from this pic? Two OC75s and an AC152.

Image

He described it as:

The second fuzz out the gate is the Spectre. Its a fuzz tone I've been trying to cop for a long time..... Its aimed at a more psych / surf / 60s tone that is bright but not brittle or harsh.
This one has a slightly attenuated low end that makes it cut through with a "vocal" sort of presence, and has a voice switch which selects between a bright, "Rangemaster with more balls" sort of voice and a more traditional fuzz response with a stronger mid range presence. This one runs two OC75s and an AC152 in Q3.


To keep the twin-company madness going, I'll admit I have no idea what this is by the circuit. I know that a few Rangemasters used OC75's, but that's about as far as my knowledge takes me. It's a tweaked RM, then?
good deals are here.
flesh couch is here.

Not to steer anyone away from Monolith, but there are some complaints of payments being made and not receiving products over on TB. I'd be very, very cautious. They still have not said anything to back themselves against the claims either.

Oh snap! That'd explain the strong start and stall. Website shouldn't take as long to launch. I hope it works out in his favor. He's the only one who was gonna craft the cab I desired.

Judging by the demo videos of his workshop I'm surprised he has Internet at all, looks like the uni-bomber shack :lol: I've emailed wade a few times abut things and it does take him forever to respond but he usually does respond. He also has said that his build times can be excessive due to the complex construction and being a one man operation.

This is supposing you are talking about Monolith Loudspeakers and not the builder of the Oracle and Spectre.
