ANOINTED - a Vintage EP3 Tape Echo w Chess studio chamber reverb for 11-28
The ANOINTED
Is my latest offering, This " PLEX-O-VERB " pedal melds classic Echoplex & chessrecords-style reverb. In straight speak; Vintage Tape Echo w studio chamber reverb & a boost recovery stage. 2 independent Effects in one compact pedal.
Whether Im play electric or acoustic, in my band weekly.. this is a fundamental, powerful& versatile ambient tone tool! I'm very sure you will find it to be a staple for your guitar rig too!
FEATURES: A simple pedal to operate w 3 knobs to the right and 2 knobs to the left.9volt DC operation w True bypass Silent switching. Size is 4.8" x 2.64"
*TAPE SPEED - The old school Echoplex-style vintage tape echo side brings smooth dynamic and classic ambient Echo up to 500ms long w the speed control, as well as all the way down to quick old school 50’s studio slaps from the corner of Union and Marshall.
*REPEATS control will go from single repeat to infinite feedback (self oscillation) if wanted.
*TAPE MIX controls the analog dry signal w the wet signal.
*TAPE AGE switch is great to switch from fresh tape to well worn n smeared high end of the slapbacks which is delicious w longer repeats.
On the left side is a basic but crafty bit of kit, *MASTER OUTPUT control that allows you to boost or cut your output level, there's enough dB on tap to overdrive a tube amp but I just wanted to make available a nice clean level control. And this control ties into the one knob
*REVERB MIX control, another very simple & clever move. The reverb is a dual gang pot and as you turn the reverb wet mix up it is also increasing the decay/fb/reflections, which will increase the overall volume a bit, yet you can grab the MASTER OUTPUT and either tame it a smidge or send it straight down the Chess studio drain pipe mic (look that up, it was a real thing) to the eternal dank reflections of that vintage basement below the studio. Which by the way was wired up for stereo but one side never worked, and that vintage ambient mono sound was immortalized through the late 50s & 60s on S. Michigan Ave in Chicago .
