Delay

Day Dreamer

The Day Dreamer by TomKat Pedals is a versatile pedal that combines delay and reverb effects in a compact package with simple, interactive controls. The pedal features a basic digital delay with minimal filtering on the repeats, providing up to 600ms of delay time. The reverb is described as spring-like, bright, and springy/hallish, with some modulation that pairs well with the delay for real ambiance. The individual knobs allow for adjustment of the mix of delay and reverb, providing flexibility to use one effect or both. Key Features: \- Simple, straight forward controls \- Spring-like reverb \- Up to 600ms of delay time \- Multi-function foot switch \- Internal trimmers for "Free Fall" adjustment and for overall effect volume \- Artwork by Liam Sparkes laser etched onto enclosure Technical Specifications: \- Dimensions: 3.25" Wide, 4.35" Long, 1.8" Tall \- Top mount jacks \- True Bypass \- Uses standard 9V DC negative center power \- No battery option \- Current draw: 120mA In addition, there is a super version of the Day Dreamer, called the Super Day Dreamer, which offers added features such as tap tempo, modulation, sub- divisions, and up to one second of delay time. The delay circuit is based on the PT2399 chip, and it has top-mounted jacks. It also uses a standard 9V center negative power supply and requires at least 150mA power, with no battery option available.

Distortion

Ripper

The Ripper by TomKat Pedals is a recreation of the classic Ibanez Standard Fuzz from the late 60s. It is designed to work effectively with both bass and guitar, delivering a nasty upper octave fuzz similar to the Univox Super Fuzz, providing ripping lead notes and messed up mushy chords. Technical Specifications: \- LEVEL: Controls the volume of the effect. \- FUZZ: Controls the amount of fuzz. \- CLIP: Changes the clipping diodes in the circuit. The down position puts two old stock germanium diodes into the circuit for classic "Standard Fuzz" tones that are super mushy and dirty. The up position puts two modern 1N914 silicone diodes in for louder, open, more chord-friendly tones. \- TONE: Changes between two overall tones, offering scooped mids like a muff and boosted mids for octavia-ish fuzz. Additional Features: \- True bypass pedal \- Works with normal boss-style negative center 9V power supplies \- Handmade design, including the circuit board \- Utilizes NOS parts for the transistors and diodes, as well as high-quality switches and pots \- No battery option Use Cases: The Ripper is suitable for musicians seeking to achieve specific fuzz tones, particularly those reminiscent of classic fuzz effects from the late 60s. Its versatility in working with both bass and guitar makes it a valuable addition to a musician's pedalboard. Functionality: The pedal's controls allow for precise adjustments to the volume, fuzz amount, clipping diodes, and overall tone, providing musicians with the ability to tailor their desired fuzz sound. The true bypass design ensures minimal signal interference when the pedal is not engaged, and the use of high-quality components contributes to its overall performance and reliability.

Violet Muffer

The Violet Muffer by TomKat Pedals is a recreation of the Violet Ram's Head Big Muff. It features a design that emphasizes a lot of mids and is described as having a crunchy yet smooth texture. The pedal includes a lift switch that removes the first pair of clipping diodes, enhancing the low-end response. Additionally, the pedal incorporates old stock transistors for added character. Key technical specifications include: \- LEVEL: This knob controls the overall volume of the pedal. \- SUSTAIN: Adjusts the amount of fuzz, ranging from dirty to distortion. \- TONE: Classic muff tone knob, with lows to the left and highs to the right. \- LIFT: In the down position, the circuit is normal, while in the up position, the first pair of clipping diodes are bypassed, resulting in a beefier low-end response. The pedal is true bypass and operates using a standard boss style negative center 9v DC power supply. It does not have a battery option. For a comprehensive understanding of the pedal's capabilities, it is recommended to watch the provided demos with headphones or good speakers to experience the full range of the pedal.

Bender Fuzz

The Bender Fuzz by TomKat Pedals is a distortion/fuzz pedal based on the Sola Sound Tonebender Professional Mark II. The pedal stays true to the original circuit with a few modifications, including changes to capacitor values for increased low-end response, the use of NOS Germanium transistors, and the addition of an external bias knob for the last transistor in the circuit. Key features and technical specifications include: \- LEVEL knob: Controls the overall volume with increased output. \- Fuzz knob: Adjusts the overall fuzz/attack, offering a wide range from dirty to extremely nasty with oscillation. \- Text knob: Changes the bias or texture of the last transistor, providing options for classic mushy smooth Germanium fuzz sound or louder, crisper/crunchier tones. \- Works with standard boss style 9vdc negative center power supply and includes a built-in voltage inverter for safe daisy chaining with other effects. \- True bypass functionality. The Bender Fuzz pedal is designed to interact with the "texture" knob, allowing users to achieve various textures and tones. It is suitable for guitarists looking to explore a wide range of fuzz sounds, from classic to more aggressive and modern tones.
