Spring reverb and bonus “room” reverb mode. Decay control to dampen or expand reverb. Retain your tone with all analog clean signal path. Trails option when bypassed Separate controls for the reverb and dry signal levels. Redesigned preamp for tube like dynamics and feel. Tone control for subtlety or in your face splash. By analyzing the design, sound and physics of real spring tanks we captured the nuances of tube driven spring reverb. Even something as innocuous as unplugging your guitar cable (kerplangagnangang)  sounds like real deal. A tone control allows you to dial in the perfect timbre. There is also an internal reverb send trimmer serving two purposes- 1. It allows you to turn down for hotter input signals. 2. It does essentially what the dwell control does on an outboard reverb tank. You can turn it up for a more dramatic effect or back it off for subtlety. Unlike a real spring tank the the decay knob allows you to dampen the springs for shorter reverb or bend the laws of physics resulting in long psychedelic resonating trails. The clean signal path is all analog. JFET amplifiers carryout the send and recovery of the reverb signal for even more tube like dynamics. The Super Spring Theory is equally at home in front of a clean or dirty amp. …But wait, There’s more! – Room Reverb There’s also that other reverb setting. ROOM. Don’t think of this as your typical subtle ambiance room reverb. That is certainly possible with the decay knob rolled back. The decay knob alters the dimensions from a broom closet to a cavern covered in ceramic tile with reverb trails over three minutes long. Like no other reverb pedal on earth. Every aspect of the Super Spring Theory was designed from the ground up. You won’t find a “reverb brick” inside. It’s not a datasheet design from someone else.  The Super Spring Theory uses our own DSP reverb algorithms that you can’t get anywhere else. More options In 2011 we set out to create the most realistic spring reverb simulation ever. The Spring Theory was born with authentic sound, feel and dynamics. Since then we’ve been taking notes for the next evolution. We listened and we know what you want. New features are packed in the same pint sized pedal. Now you can hear reverb tails when bypassed. Separate level controls for the dry and reverb sounds along with the new wide range tone control allow for subtle reverb to in your face salt water splash.

ntroducing the NíquelPuro line of Electric Guitar Strings by the Gabriel Tenorio String Co. These are still constructed and formulated like the original GTSco line but feature the highest quality pure nickel wrap available. (original GTSco strings already feature the highest amount of nickel available in nickel plated steel)   NíquelPuro is an evolution in my string making. My goal has always been to make the best sounding and feeling string. I wasn’t interested in pure nickel at first. I felt that all the pure nickel I had ever seen in the market didn’t feel comfortable and that it was a gimmick to improve the signal strength of a hex core string. Many folks felt that nickel was warmer, others swore that nickel was louder or brighter. I wasn’t going to make pure nickel if it meant making strings that didn’t feel right to me or if it meant appeasing a boutique “tone fetish.”   I had been testing nickel out for about a year and had come to enjoy how durable and strong pure nickel is to nickel plated steel. I felt this right away while making a batch of D strings which feature a very fine wrap wire. The tone once the string was installed was rich and full. A very good strong tone that had even more body than the NPS.   After running more tests, I’ve decided to bring these to market. Like with my own personal strings I used on tour in my younger days, it took me a while to feel comfortable and confident in selling these to the public. I just want to make a good string that is worth your hard-earned gig money.   I am always surprised at how long the strings last for a majority of the professional musicians who put them to the test show after show, session after session. I know that the NíquelPuro will also stand up to that test.   ·      Pure Nickel is stronger and longer lasting than nickel plated steel wrap wire ·      Pure Nickel has stronger magnetic properties than nickel plated steel, thus producing a more output and improving signal strength ·      NíquelPuro strings by GTSco feature the same round core construction and custom twist innovations of the original line ·      GTSco strings in general, use more “Tone Metal” per wound string than most brands   Some more background and thoughts on the matter….  Nickel is a very vague term thrown around the gear industry. Almost every single wound electric guitar string employs nickel. There are varying grades of nickel plated steel and pure nickel wrap wire in use in the modern string industry. Nickel is ferromagnetic, that is important because it makes it possible to get more output from an electric guitar. It is a widely known characteristic of this metal. Steel is not magnetic on its own therefore other metals are added to different kinds of steel alloys to add magnetic properties. Without it, strings across the board would not perform as well. We know already that different metal wraps produce their own signature sound. That is also true of the NíquelPuro line. For lack of a better term, I am going to call wrap metal “Tone Metal.” By virtue of my construction and formulation techniques, I offer more tone metal in my products as a rule.  Cost cutting techniques in the industry have compromised the quality of metal some string companies use and even guided formulations focused on using thicker cores to save on expensive wrap wire. This can make for an opaque, albeit durable, string. I don’t believe this approach serves the instrument, the player, nor the tone, well.   NíquelPuro Electric Guitar Strings are made to help musicians play better, feel confident, and rest assured that they are getting the most from their instrument. You shouldn’t have to beat your instrument or destroy your hands to get a good sound, the strings just need to work for you.   That’s just how I feel about it.   ABOUT The Gabriel Tenorio String Company is dedicated to the evolution and further dissemination of the string making tradition established by Francisco Gonzalez, founder of Guadalupe Custom Strings. As a partner in Guadalupe Custom Strings, I insisted on only making round core strings--for all its lines. With remarkable results, it was only natural to revisit old acoustic formulae such as the PB 13s, known as Phosphor*Rounds and the Gypsy Jazz ManoucheTone Strings to learn from what made them so distinctive in tone and quality.  I went on to create an entire brand new line of electric guitar strings along with a slew of other steel stringed instruments. I didn't try to make something new, just something good. But it wasn't enough to just be good enough, I wanted to make the best fitting string possible, the way Francisco had many years a go when he made my first set of custom Requinto Romantico strings--in front of my very own eyes--based on what i was doing as a guitarist and what i wanted to get from my experience as a musician. That experience has left a long lasting mark. It took years of research and testing of set after set.  Then reconceptualizing a custom shop type of business into something I could share with the professional musician, at large. Over the last year at GCS, I was able to develop this model while developing my lines of products. I am proud to have had the positive response of 2014 and 2015.  2016 marks the birth of this new company, theGTS,co theGTSco uses only the finest first-drawn wire and are 100% made by hand in the USA. The Gabriel Tenorio String Company will continue to work alongside The Guadalupe Custom Strings team at the CustomLab location in East Los Angeles. We share a tradition, a part of a community of artists and artisans, and we share the joy of working collaboratively.

ULTRASHEER is a stereo reverb and vibrato combination inspired by the early digital studio effects units of the late 1970’s, capable of moving you from a lush warbled space to a shallow room through an intuitive and satisfyingly tactile interfaceThe REVERB algorithm is based on the plate reverb sounds of the classic Lexicon 224 from 1978. The digital processing is downsampled to 16 bits and follows the topology described in the Dattorro paper linked here. This mix of legacy digital processing with modern high quality hardware creates a retro lush sound that we love The VIBRATO is a smooth and transparent digital pitch shifter that preserves the full bandwidth of your input signal and does not darken the sound which is often found in the analog counterparts. Two modulation waveforms are available, “cycle” which is a sine wave for classic Leslie-speaker-type sounds and “random” which is a smoothed sample and hold waveform that creates pitch warbles similar to a warped vinyl or sun-baked cassette- 165mm x 140mm x 45mm- 1/4" mono jacks- Input impedance: 50kΩ- Output impedance: 1kΩ- Current draw: 180mA- Soft-touch foot switches- Buffered bypass- Housed in a single block of walnut, CNC routed, hand sanded & polished

PARAGRAPHS is an analog four-pole resonant low pass filter with an attack, decay (AD) envelope generator designed with focus on simplicity and flexibility The heart of the LOW PASS FILTER circuit is the AS3320 analog chip — a modern replica of the same component used in analog classics like the Sequential Prophet 5, Pro-One mono-synth, Elka Synthex, and the LinnDrum. Cutoff spans the full audio spectrum and resonance starts to self-oscillate at about seventy percent.The ENVELOPE GENERATOR offers modulations in an uncommonly wide range of frequencies — starting as low as 0.05 hz for slowly evolving 20 second long cycles, and reaching up to (and past) the audio threshold at 300 hz for a wave shaping effect similar to sounds found on west coast style synthesizers (“think Buchla”).Paragraphs accepts instrument and line level signals. Dedicated controls for input (drive) and output level make it easy to move between a crystal clear clean tone and and a clipping fuzz. A multi-color LED provides a visual representation of the signal level. Red indicates clipping. Orange flashes indicate the start of overload. Green indicates the presence of signal at or below the nominal level.Inputs for CONTROL VOLTAGE and MIDI are available to remotely trigger the envelope generator. This enables your Paragraphs to stay in rhythmic synchronization with external systems like midi sequencers, euroracks, and digital audio workstations -1/4” mono input/output jacks-2.1mm DC Connector-5.7” x 4.7” x 1.5” enclosure dimensions-true bypass-input impedance: 1MΩ-output impedance: <1kΩ-power supply: 9 to 9.6 VDC center negative-current draw: 100mA max
