Maccheroni Bros – American-voiced dual overdrive

• Out of stock

Maccheroni Bros is a dual overdrive consisting of two distinct circuits, designed to create a wide variety of modern versatile American sounds. The two channels are called Fred and Mike, both Italo-American bricklayers with very different personalities.

• Fred is lanky and placid, the ‘good’ brother. This channel is based on the proprietary PCN circuit finely calibrated to this role. It gives a creamy sound and dynamic overdrive with sweet midrange sustain that favors a Legato technique.
• Mike, stout and short-tempered, the ‘indomitable’ brother, produces the rock sound obtainable from a tube amp pulled at full throttle. This channel provides good sustain and presence with clear attack of every note played. Its circuit is based on a J-Fet stadium, combined with other circuits designed to obtain the best overall sonic performance.

BUBOP! – Buffer, Booster, Presence

• Out of stock

BuBoP! was conceived by merging three features very often needed by musicians: Buffer (the quiet Joe Buffer) and Booster (the angry Don Booster) combinable with Presence (the fat Bill Presence). This handyman stompbox can be placed anywhere in the effects chain: e.g. before an overdrive pedal to get more saturation, before a fuzz box to radically change its sound behavior to get a lot of “angrier” distortion. You can also place BuBoP! at the end of the chain to get the level boost required for solos or simply to give get overall sound equalization. It’s also useful to adapt the correct load instrument impedance to a old vintage amplifier or effects with low input impedance levels, or else before low input impedance mixers and PC soundcards.

CORNUCOPIA – Guitar Tube Preamplifier

• Out of stock

Color, presence, musicality: these are the most important features of the renewed Cornucopia tube overdrive. Transferring the real tube sound inside a stompbox is not at all easy; overall sound performance is due to the synergy between each section of the circuit. Noise, background hum and performance degradation can quickly surface when even a small part of the design process is not carefully checked. The Cornucopia tube overdrive is the result of years spent improving the design and engineering of our products. It is through with this rigorous approach that the 12AX7 tube can provide the best sound performance, symbolized by the Cornucopia in the hands of the God Tiberinus.

CORNUCOPIA Keys – Keyboards Tube Preamplifier

• Out of stock

The Cornucopia Keys project was developed starting from the Cornucopia Guitar with the idea of ​​obtaining a preamplifier with 12AX7 tube specifically dedicated to Tonewheel organs (Hammond), sixties Combo organs (Farfisa, Vox), Electric Pianos (Rhodes, Wurlitzer) and Synthesizers . Unlike the electric guitar, a keyboard instrument indeed requires a much wider response band, in order to totally preserve the harmonic content of the signal, and also requires a reduced dynamic field when entering overdrive conditions. By bringing the Gain command to high values, you can get a creamy and characterized overdrive from the Cornucopia Keys, retaining high sonic transparency that behaves exactly like a tube amp when a large signal is applied in. The Volume and Gain commands allow you to adjust/match the input levels with output and choose the point where you want to trigger the overdrive, while the Contour command can set a first general equalization of the sound. The Bias lever-switch acts on the tube bias and allows you to choose two different overdrive behaviors: creamy in "Soft" position and fuzzy in "Hard" mode.

GainOver – British-voiced overdrive

• Out of stock

GainOver is a two-preset, British-voiced overdrive with switchable channels and independent Gain and Volume controls. The “Low Gain” section ranges from a quasi-clean boost to a creamy full dynamic crunch with clear attack, while the “High Gain” section maintains these properties while producing more drive saturation. The GainOver design is based on the PCN (Progressive Clipping Network) proprietary circuit, a complex analog net designed to obtain a dynamic and progressive approach to distortion, reproducing the incoming saturation of an EL84 Class-A final stage of a tube amplifier.

GEGE’ – germanium fuzz

• Out of stock

When someone ask us what is the effect that created the history of rock, we can only answer: the Fuzz! Is the oldest of distorting effects pedals, we can hear it in the songs of the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath (to name but a few) and is still widely used by musicians of every musical genre. We present our version of Fuzz box made of two selected germanium transistors AC152, the only active components in the circuit, subjected to a careful selection to create the stamp that we have drawn in the mind and that only this old semiconductor can give. Founder of our fuzz is Uncle Gege, gruff and grumpy, able to go from innocent to angry mutterings schizophrenic screams. Gege has two presets:

• Natural: the classic and “natural” Fuzz effect.
• Broken Speaker: designed especially for those who make garage/beat, emulates the distortion coming out from broken loudspeakers.

In addition, a response control Fuzzy/Fatty: to obtain a marked increase in the medium-low frequencies, making the result more sonic and fat.

Golden Era – Real-time Lo-Fi machine

• Out of stock

1876: Thomas Alva Edison presents the first phonograph on wax cylinder. 1887: Emile Berliner presents the gramophone on shellac disk. 1963: Philips introduces the Compact Cassette which, together with the 1969 MicroCassette, made it universally easy to capture sound events with a miniaturized, lightweight device. It took decades of research before every analog medium achieved excellent audio performance. Before then, every audio recorder had some peculiarities that marked an era: from the "mechanical" response full of noise and scratch of the first phonographs, to the low bandwidth available and with a nasal and floating voice of Compact Cassettes, especially if recorded / listened by cheap or worn devices. Golden Era was created to faithfully reproduce the "non fidelity" of these audio recorders at the time of their introduction, taking you to other eras of analog audio recording: the Golden Eras.

Golden Era “Reverse” – Real-time Lo-Fi machine

• Out of stock

The classical Golden Era Lo-Fi machine comes now in a very limited edition (5 pcs.) to celebrate the end of the year 2023, the year where we sadly had to discontinue the pedal because of the lack of vintage parts and the product industralization not compatible anymore with the market demand. A very fine golden satin painting has been used for the finish and the brown black printing to achieve the "reversed" aesthetic of the pedal. The electronics uses the classical Printed Circuit Boards Rev.A3 but with some important upgrades: we replaced the modern BC549 transistors with a prime selection of BC114 vintage New Old Stock transistors. In addition, special selection also for BBD MN3207, a enhanced NOISE generator and Wima polyester input capacitor. Each minimal sound feature of the pedal has been finely calibrated and adjusted to achieve the best performances ever from a Golden Era machine.

JOE BUFFER – Buffer&Splitter

• Out of stock

In spite of appearance gentle and relaxed, the old man Joe Buffer is a tireless worker who knows how to perform crucial tasks without bothering anyone. Joe Buffer is a buffer made with discrete components in Class-A, with double output to carry out the function of splitter. We thought about something pocket-sized, simple and effective with minimal components: no footswitches to avoid further parasitic capacitance induced by the contacts with a limited consumption also be used extensively with the internal battery. The principle of the buffer is to obtain a very high input impedance and a very low output impedance, without affect the signal with additional harmonics, pulling out the original tone of the instrument.

Ms. DELAYETTE – Analog tape voiced Echo/Reverb

• Out of stock

The soul of a veteran magnetic echo today lives on enclosed in a modern boutique pedal. Mistress Delayette, queen of Germanic beauty in the 60s and today an elderly but still very attractive, symbolizes the still current charm of the echo and reverb sounds typical of vintage magnetic units such as the Binson Echorec, Echolette NG51S, and Maestro Echoplex EP-1. In the machines of that period, high fidelity repetions was sought; because of their mechanical nature, without accurate and constant maintenance, these effects tend to have problems related to the tape dragging, that generate their unique and distinctive sounds. The TEFI Vintage Lab research team has created an echo/reverb pedal effect with a Hi-Fi response, but with the possibility of being altered by simulating the aging of the machine with the WOW and FLUTTER commands that are completely analog and specially calibrated to obtain maximum realism of reproduction.
