PIGTRONIX PHILOSOPHERS TONE 2

PHILOSOPHERS TONE 2 is one of the guitar effects that decided to put an end to the crappy guitar sound once and for all. It is a pedal compressor/sustainer that will give every string and tone optimal sound and beautifully clean long sustain. In addition to the standard Volume and Sustain knobs, it offers a Blend knob for adjusting the ratio of processed signal to dry signal, so you won't lose natural attack and the sound stays beautifully musical. The Treble knob can boost or attenuate the treble by 6dB in the 2kHZ band.

All of these elements and features are also found in a more compact pedal, the PHILOSOPHERS TONE 2 distinguishes itself by adding a separate overdrive circuit with a Grit control and a Germanium and Silicon mod switch, i.e. clipping germanium or silicon diodes to create the character of the distortion. This simply adds more sheen, subtle overdrive or more distortion/distortion to the sound.

The pedal is wired as a true bypass and offers an internal voltage of 18V for maximum headroom - so even humbuckers with high output signals or line signals don't pose a problem for sound quality. A 9V adapter (not included) is required for power supply.
