Death By Audio Absolute Destruction
Death By Audio Absolute Destruction $180.00
This might be our most insane pedal. Showing little-to-no respect for what instruments normally sound like, or even what people want them to sound like, we pushed this thing until it sounded fully unhinged. Want a thick, gnarly fuzz sound? Sure, you can do that, and it'll sound really, really good. You can also push the OVERLOAD slider into blooming, octave nastiness. Push it further and starve the circuit until your signal eats itself. Push it to the maximum and your sound will duck completely into the void before it returns, coming back to life with a relentless vengeance.  CONTROLS Master Volume: Controls the output volume of the effect. Overload: Sets the ceiling at which the pedal overloads. When turned all the way up, the pedal will not overload. As the control slides to the left it pulverizes the sound more rapidly. Gain: Sliding this control to the right increases gain and distortion. Horizontal sliders have been recessed to protect them from bending or any accidental movement while playing.  Harnesses a power amplifier IC to generate its insane sound. Its Gain and Overload sliders interact to create a wide range of unique sounds in various positions. You choose, to your liking, how much to absolutely destroy your sound. The further the Overload control is set to the left, the faster the effect slips into absolute destruction. Blow it out even harder and faster by slamming Gain and Overload opposite one another. Lower one or the other for smoother attack and release. Screaming octaves, thick fuzz, and the sound of your guitar reaching back from the depths of destruction are at your fingertips. Think of it as a psychotic compressor, or maybe more accurately the sound your amp would make if you set fire to it.  SPECIFICATIONS Dimensions: 4.95" x 2.61" x 2.34" (including hardware) Weight: 10 oz. Power: 9V (runs on standard 2.1mm negative center 9V adapter or included 9V battery). Current Draw: 5 mA.
Caroline Wave Cannon MKII
Caroline Wave Cannon MKII $199.95
So, what IS the story on Wave Cannon® version 2.0, or as we’ve decided to call it, the Wave Cannon MKII Superdistorter? The long story short is that this thing is an unrepentant, unapologetic distortion pedal that is totally nasty and fun. This Cannon comes pre-loaded with balls (pun alert!) and is capable of going from cranked, lightly dirty amp tones to the sound of a furry Godzilla devouring a junkyard full of broken a/c window units. It’s different than the original, which was based on the classic ’70s fuzzstortions we grew up playing. It’s different from our Haymaker™, which is a wide range drive pedal based around the rotation of a clipping network into different locations in the circuit, and which is intended to respond and feel like an extension of your amp. This pedal is really about rocking your socks off. While it can do some extremely cool mild-to-medium crunch tones, Wave Cannon II is really capable of overwhelming your amp. The focus (mids) and tone controls are different from what we’ve done before and can give you a really broad range of textures and voicings. There is a LOT of gain and volume on tap, as we’d been infuriated in the past by great sounding classic distortion pedals we’ve owned that didn’t go far enough with clean amps, or were quieter than unity gain or the bypass signal. The rumble switch allows more low end if you want it, or lets you tighten things up if you don’t need it.
Caroline Somersault
Caroline Somersault $199.95
From seasick wobbles to glitchy bleep-bloops and “I think I can” huffs and puffs, the crazy-sounding stuff was actually the easy part for us. So once you’re done maxing out different settings to hear what kinds of bizarre wowie-zowie sounds you can make with this thing, we encourage you to explore the subtleties of how each control interacts with the others, and the remarkable range of sounds that you can quickly and intuitively dial in. Gentle, lagging vibrato, 1980s style choruses, and even some doubling effects are possible…and then, turn up & go wild again. SOMERSAULT™ applies a similar framework as our popular KILOBYTE™ and MÉTÉORE™ pedals. While the digital chip sets the delayed wet signal, the initial gain stage, dry signal, LFO, control set and output mixing stage are entirely analog. The end result sounds rich and fat, with the same robust feel and power our customers have come to expect from our work.
Caroline Shigeharu
Caroline Shigeharu $199.95
Tired of your fuzz getting lost in the mix? Wish you could just pour molten sonic gravy from your speakers? Imagine classic Muff-style fuzziness with the punch of a classic overdrive, and you have Shigeharu™. Using a cascading hybrid of the op-amp and BC184 transistor gain stages, Shigeharu provides all the sweet singing sustain and massive flamethrower gain you crave, but with unprecedented clarity, improved punch and definition, and consistent performance wherever it sits in your signal chain – even after buffers or wireless units. Combine that with the parallel octave-up voiced fuzz available on-demand with the Havoc* stomp and you have a whole lot of nasty right here. Two extra controls reside inside the pedal – a bias/gate control for dialing up broken, spitty sounds, and a slide switch that locks the octave-up “on” and converts the momentary to a kill/mute switch. Shigeharu™ was designed in collaboration with our friend John Snyder at Electronic Audio Experiments, because this thing was fearsome enough to compel us to seek a second opinion.
Caroline Parabola
Caroline Parabola $199.99
PARABOLA™ is the sonic equivalent of riding your space mammoth through giant puddles in the astral plane while feeding it caffeinated energy drinks. Think of this as your rig’s new “tremolo channel”. We’ve adapted the deliciously sloshy, transistor-based LFO and distinctive waveform from our favorite “West German” device, modified its speed and depth to match and go beyond those from your favorite classic amps, and then added pre and post effect gain stages for both overdrive and volume boost. Then we offer the classic, dramatic amplitude modulation (AM) you might expect, or a filtered modulation (FM) that is subtle, beautiful, and less invasive on your playing. Your pedal was dreamed, designed, and created at our small batch distortery™ in Columbia, S.C. Thank you for supporting our work and putting it to use.
Caroline Météore
Caroline Météore $199.95
Imagine taking the ice bucket challenge, but you’re dunking yourself in dreams! Inspired by the ultra-modern line 14 of the Paris Métro and its sleek platforms of glass, steel and tile that add all kinds of cool sonic artifacts to the space, the MÉTÉORE™ (pronounced may-tay-or) is our take on reverb. We’ve kept your original signal path analog and pure, while giving you overdrive and regeneration controls to take you from spring reverb sounds to something much bigger. The controls are very interactive with each other, and as per Caroline tradition, this pedal can get VERY loud. You know, something something power, responsibility, blah blah blah…
Caroline Kilobyte
Caroline Kilobyte $199.95
We’ve kept your original, dry signal path analog and pure, then given you a +21db boost/overdrive preamp to smash a low fidelity digital delay chip designed for karaoke machines and kids’ toys into smeared, repeated glory. Yeah, we’re going back in time – back to when they measured data in KILOBYTES! This pedal is VERY capable of fun runaway oscillations, both by turning up the summation knob or a controlled, high-pass filtered oscillation from the Havoc momentary footswitch. If you’ve ever struggled to make your delays come through prominently in the mix, or lost definition from your original signal, the attack and level controls can allow you to dial up everything from crisp, clean slapbacks to dirty, muted echoes and loud, powerful repeats. A beautiful, subtle modulation circuit courtesy of our friend Jack DeVille also sweetens the repeats with just the right amount of movement.
Caroline Hawaiian Pizza
Caroline Hawaiian Pizza $169.95
Your quest for toanz have brought you to our HAWAIIAN PIZZA™: a bespoke artisanal blockchain of handcrafted tone, the sonic equivalent of a forbidden delicacy, all from just three knobs and the truth*. We discovered this circuit in the discarded manila file folders of our old multinational overlords, the Caroline Corporation, alongside all kinds of very 1970s corporate villainy and sci-fi plans for world domination. Your pedal was then dreamed, designed and created at our small batch distortery™ in Columbia, S.C. So thank you for supporting our work! *it’s really a fuzz, but a really versatile one
Alexander Superball
Alexander Superball $199.99
Modulate Everything. We took the leash off of what started as an experimental delay engine and Superball is what happened. An uber-flexible LFO, dedicated time sequencing, and resonant low-pass filter combine for the bounciest digital delay oscillations you can imagine. Warning: We’re not getting this down off your roof if you get it stuck up there. Superball is a little different from all of our other pedals. While it is basically a great-sounding digital delay, it also goes a lot further than that.The pedal features an ultra-flexible LFO (low-frequency oscillator) that can control all of the delay parameters, in any amount, in any direction. The LFO can run continuously or be set to “bounce” like a real rubber ball. Top that off with an innovative sequencer that controls only the delay clock, for pitch-shifting and time-stretching action, and you’ve got yourself a heck of a fun toy.   Tap the Select button to assign the pedal knobs to one of four control modes: LO = controls the delay time, repeat, mix, and filter when the LFO is at its low point HI = controls the delay parameters when the LFO is at max LFO = knobs change the LFO speed, depth, wave shape, and tap sync or bounce SEQ = knobs change the sequencer rate, pattern, steps, and tap sync.
Alexander Space Race Alexander Space Race
Alexander Space Race $199.99
Mankind has long known of the amazing properties of reverberant spaces. From the brilliant reflections of the largest concert halls to the splashy depths of your own shower, every space has its own characteristic sound. The Space Race is our humble homage to the sounds of “elsewhere,” and features six ingenious ways to add some space to your place, whether you're reaching for the stars or just trying to make your world a little bigger. Reverb is a pretty subjective thing - sometimes you need a soft and subtle bloom behind your notes, and sometimes you really need to wail at the bottom of a stone well. The Space Race gives you a ton of options, all of which you can tweak and customize to suit your desires using our simple knob interface. The Space Race features six distinct reverb engines, each with its own set of features and controls. Tap the center button to advance to the next reverb engine.   REVERB ENGINES: MOD: Modulated chamber reverb. The Tweak knob controls the speed and depth of the pitch modulation. SHIM: Reverb with a pitch-shift component. The Tweak knob controls the pitch shift interval, either an octave down or an octave up. LOFI:  Dirty and filtered reverberation, like the echo you might get out of a broken karaoke machine.  Reverb and Space control the decay and pre-delay, respectively, while Tweak controls the amount of dirt and grit present in the reverb signal. PLATE: Bright and present reverb based on both a mechanical plate design and the early electronic plate reverb algorithms. Tweak adjusts the high-frequency damping of the reverb signal. SPRING: You know what this one is. Drippy and wet, this spring reverb simulation is great for both subtle and not-so-subtle effects. Reverb adjusts the size of the reverb tank, Space controls the “dwell” or input signal level, and Tweak controls the tone of the reverb signal. ANALOG: Electronic reverb based on an obscure bucket-brigade echo circuit. This mode lacks all of the smoothing and diffusion of more modern reverb types, so you can hear each individual echo in the reverb tail. Reverb controls the delay time, Space controls the repeats of the echo, and Tweak adds an adjustable modulation effect.
Alexander Sky 5000 Alexander Sky 5000
Alexander Sky 5000 $199.99
Reverb. Delay. Repeat. The Sky 5000 bathes your signal in an excess of echoes, a deluge of delay, and a surfeit of shimmer.  All of the ambiance you desire is a footstep away. Building a great delay pedal was foremost in our minds when we designed the original Sky Fi.  Development began with a crystal-clear digital delay engine combined with a tone filter to allow tailoring of the response to your liking.  We then added a reverb engine that draws inspiration from certain digital rack units of the '80s and '90s.  These units were designed to be as affordable as possible and had some unique hardware quirks that caused their reverb effects to build in intensity over time.  This "slow-building" artifact is one of the things that made these units so special. When it came time to adapt the Sky Fi to the Neo Series platform we decided to keep the essential simplicity of the original. Inside the Sky 5000, you’ll find the same great tones from the Sky Fi, with a few tweaks to improve the performance and audio quality. Tap tempo, a simplified Repeat control, and more selectable delay tone options await. We hope you love this pedal as much as we do. The Sky 5000 features dual Reverb and Delay engines, routed internally in a parallel configuration. This allows you to combine the two effects without having the reverb wash out the delay, or the delay muddies up the reverb. Each engine has three separate settings, and you can combine them in any way you like. If you want to use only the reverb or only the delay, you can set their levels to zero using the pedal knobs.   REVERB ENGINE: RVB Slow-building ‘90s style reverb effect. Capable of huge washes or subtle ambiance, you decide. +1 Classic “shimmering” upper octave effect. We add in the octave both before and after the reverb for maximum effect. -1 Adds an octave down to the reverb effect. We think it sounds like a cello playing along with you.   DELAY ENGINE: DIG Bright and present digital delay, taken from our original Radical Delay pedal. Use this when you need to cut like a knife. BBD Darker analog-sounding delay effect. Rich and creamy, pairs nicely with the +1 engine for maximum unforgettable fire. OIL DARK sounding delay, murky and a little distorted. Based on our fave vintage electrostatic “oil can” delay unit.

Beetronics Whocta Hell
Beetronics Whocta Hell $230.00
The Whocta Hell is a low octave fuzz, with fully independent controls for the fuzz and the octave. It’s a overdrive/fuzz summed up with a gnarly squared wave low octave, resembling an 8-bit bass synthesizer. Its octave has a range of one or two low octaves, selectable by a toggle switch, and also has its own separate bypass switch. The od/fuzz and octave work fully independently and can be used separately. The magic really happens when you start blending them together and finding your sweet spots. You can create a large range of tones, that can be used on many different ways. It’s up to you to choose between an indie rock lead, a bass synth or super mario bro sounding theme! No matter what you are into, the Whocta Hell will inspire you to create new music. Just do not forget, it is a beeast!  
Beetronics Royal Jelly
Beetronics Royal Jelly $289.00
The Royal Jelly is an overdrive/fuzz blender like no other pedal. It can cover any ground from overdrive to fuzz, running two circuits in parallel and giving you the possibility of blending it or having them separately. It also has two presets of the blend, called Queen and King. The presets allow you not only to have two different sounds on the fly but also make for a very natural transition between them since instead of switching pedals, you are mixing the levels between your overdrive and fuzz. It’s also possible to blend in your dry signal, a great feature for bass, drums, and synths, or any studio use. On the guitar, the Dry control is great to create unique clean tones with a fuzzy background. The Jelly’s powerful EQ gives you 10dB of cut/boost for HI and LO making it possible to shape your tone in many different ways, while the BUZZ switch adds that nasty high end usually found on the vintage fuzz boxes to its fuzz circuit. The Royal Jelly drips tone and it’s a pedal that can change your approach to overdrive and fuzz. Hand made in California by a swarm of bees.
Beetronics Overhive
Beetronics Overhive $230.00
OVERHIVE The Overhive is an extremely versatile medium gain overdrive. It’s round and warm tone respects your amp, enhancing it’s best qualities while dynamically reacting to your playing. This pedal achieves the elusive mid-gain overdrive without making you feel a disconnect between you and your amp. Your sound remains punchy and direct with a warm musical break up and singing sustain. The controls give you nearly infinite possibilities. While the "Body" switch it's great for when you are switching guitars on a set or just feel like adding a low-end boost, the "Hive" switch can make you sound bigger and fatter, or tighter and thinner. The "Honey" control just adds sugar. Roll it down for a nice and smooth crunch, or roll it up for a smooth and dynamic drive, where your hands dictate the breakup. You also got tone control and master volume. With so many possibilities, it's hard to not find a place for it on your board. It's truly a hive of sweet tones.
