Mastro Valvola

Area - the art of reverberation.Area is an extremely versatile Multi Reverb with which you can obtain many reverberation environments. From short reverberations to huge spaces and celestial atmospheres, without clouding the Dry signal.Area is built on the base of powerful digital algorithms of our own creation, reproducing 4 different reverberation effects with an exceptional sound quality.The new Mastro Valvola Area MkII has all the same features of first Area multi reverb, with the addition of the innovative “Timed Bypass System”, designed by Mastro Valvola, to manage the reverb trails.When Trails mode is engaged and the effect is turned off, the pedal uses the “buffered bypass” and the reverb trails die of naturally. When the reverb trails are completely dead the pedal automatically changes the bypass system in true-bypass through the internal relay. Main features: 4 types of reverb: Reverb – Modulation – Shimmer 8th – Shimmer 8th + 5th 3 presets, easily managed with the preset button Damp control, to modify the emphasis on the reverberation frequencies dedicated Pre-Delay control, to easily modify the separation between the Dry and reverberated signal analogical Mix control, varying from 100% Dry to 100% Wet True-bypass with Timed Bypass System (TBS), to manage the reverb Trails completely analog Dry signal path Reverb types: REVERB: in this position, combining the Decay, Damp and Pre-Delay you will be able to obtain several kinds of reverberations: ROOM, PLATE, HALL. MOD: a double voice chorus modulation is added to the reverberation atmospheres, enriching the space of your environment. SHIM 8th: the tail of the reverberation is enriched by symphonic shimmers, tuned 2 octaves higher. SHIM 8th + 5th: the tail of the reverberation is enriched by symphonic shimmers, tuned on the higher octave and fifth.

Dual-purpose pedal: buffer and boost. The buffer offers optimum transparency and will solve any problems of loss of signal caused by long effect chains. It can help you produce those harmonics you thought you had lost and which your audience will think highly of. The clear boost will give you the boost you need for your solo parts and is also useful for saturating your amplifier channels. With close attention to the musician’s needs and requirements, we have chosen a specific range of frequency responses for this product, from medium-low to medium-high frequencies. You can choose from the “Tone” control:  the 12-hour position corresponds to “Flat” frequency. Features: - Completely analog circuit - True bypass switch - Power supply: 9-12 V/10 mA - Size (L x W x H): 9 cm x 11 cm x 6.6 cm

Hybrid fuzz/distortion pedal for guitars and bass guitars Versatility: A hybrid of germanium and silicon, combining the correct dynamics and well-defined granular effect typical of germanium with the grittiness and high sustain levels of silicon. An endless variety of resonances can be achieved by synchronizing choices of timbre with use of the filter and fuzzcontrols: from the resonances typical of valve distortions to the various fuzz timbres. Presence: Highly sought-after response frequency which, even in cases of extreme saturation, maintains a constant sound presence capable of holding its own in a mix with other instruments. Features: - Completely analog circuit - True bypass switch - Power supply: 9V/10 mA - Size (L x W x H): 9 cm x 11 cm x 6.6 cm

The Millibar is a studio-grade optical compressor, designed to achieve optimal compression control on both guitar and bass alike.Inspired by the performance of the Universal Audio 1176 and Teletronix LA2A, we have managed to recreate and implement their characteristics in the Millibar, in terms of both, transparent compression and "tone-full" qualities.Your instrument’s will sound full, rich with harmonics, sustain and without any loss of sound frequencies.The Millibar utilizes separate controls for compression and sustain, which allows the user to choose from a range of dynamic combinations, suitable for arpeggios, solos, grooves and many other styles and effects. In the MKII version we have added an attack control in order to give players maximum flexibility and control over  compression characteristics. Features:- Completely analog circuit- True bypass switch- Power supply: 9-18V/10 mA- Size (L x W x H): 9 cm x 11 cm x 6.6 cm

An extremely versatile, warm sounding transparentoverdrive. With its huge range of tonal frequencies and high sound definition the SmoG will make you notice every string’s twang and every note in your chord.Furthermore, the SmoG is highly touch sensitive and dynamicresponsive which makes the SmoG feel like an organic extension to your guitar.The SmoG has also been specifically designed to respond well to low frequencies, therefore it will work perfectly with bass guitars as well.As with most of our pedals, the SmoG comes with a 9V battery inside, ready to rock. Features: - Completely analog circuit - True bypass switch - Power supply: 9-18V/10 mA - Size (L x W x H): 9 cm x 11 cm x 6.6 cm

A laboratory in which to give full reign to your own creativity, as you experiment with the various “dimensions” of delay. This versatile delay is user-friendly and suitable for immediate use, but also ideal for users with a passion for sound research and experimentation, who will soon discover the unique moods which can be created by synchronizing the various controls. TimeLab is an analog/digital hybrid delay.  The dry signal and the repetition filter are controlled by the analog part of the circuit, while powerful, specially created digital algorithms are used to manage the repetitions, reproducing 4 original delay resonances, all of exceptionally high sound quality. Main features: a choice of 4 types of delay: Digital – Analog – Resonance – Modulation active analog filter, to give emphasis to the frequency response of the repetitions a selection of times, from 0 ms to 1000 ms Tap Tempo with subdivision between quarter, dotted eighth and eighth triplets control over delay time with soft pitch bending FILTER control: This is an active analog filter which allows you to give emphasis to the response frequency of the repetitions. It can be used with all types of delay to enrich the sound environment with unique and unusual colors. The control is flat in its central position. Moving it to the left allows you to add emphasis to the low frequency sounds by obscuring or muffling the repetitions, whereas moving it to the right will have the opposite effect, adding emphasis to the medium-high frequencies. Types of delay which can be selected with the TYPE control: DIGITAL: a transparent and well-defined delay. Used to create a sharp atmosphere and robotic effects. Time can be varied from 0 ms to 1000 ms. ANALOG: recreates the depth, warmth and nuance of the best analog delays. Soft and warm moods and deep, open distortions. Time can be varied from 0 ms to 1000 ms. RESONANCE: offers all the naturalness, depth and warmth of the analog delays, but with the addition of a resonance filter, which gives the sound a psychedelic touch, with a flavor of period synth. Time can be varied from 0 ms to 1000 ms. MOD: an analog delay which adds to the repetitions a multi-vocal choral effect, giving them range and depth. Useful for creating airy and ethereal effects. Time can be varied from 0 ms to 930 ms.
