distortion units
““Theo built me a valve distortion unit which I am extremely happy with. The audio and build quality of the unit is exceptional. He has included parameters and functions that are not found on ‘off the peg’ units”. Theo was very thorough and very helpful in explaining and demonstrating the functions of the unit to me, you can clearly see he is genuinely passionate about his work.””

distortion unit with EQ
spring reverb distortion/amplifier unit
This unit has a selectable triode/pentode driver, able to drive all types of springs. This driver can also be used as a 'valve conditioner' to liven-up drum loops or drum machines before being processed by digital recording equipment. Adds ‘valve warmth’ to digital sound, passing a signal from a digital source (like a PC soundcard or a digital synth or sampler) makes it sound warmer, thicker, and plummier. Works well with vocals, acoustic instruments, analogue and digital synths, and whole mixes. You can make gentle distortion effects in which distortion harmonics fade in and out gradually, adding very beautiful movement to pads and atmospheres. Higher master drive settings will create harder, harsher distortions. A hint of extreme distortion has the effect of adding “sparkle” to the sound, and the effect is different to adding a lot of mild distortion
