Spiral Electric FX are designed and hand-made by Tom Cram one at a time, out of the highest quality parts. Sonically, they are meant to inspire and enable fellow musicians to create what is in their hearts.
This new company Spiral Electric FX was conceived back in 2011, but Tom was forced to shelve the idea when he took over product development and management of DigiTech/DOD. Now that he is free, he is diving into making effects that he always envisioned, but was unable to make due to various corporate restrictions.
Announcing the return of an Axe...and you shall receive Exclusive!!!
Brad from Creepy Fingers Effects has put together his updated Hornskewer on the incredibly rare and amazing Hornsby-Skewes Zonk Machine.
The Horn skewer is an aggressive, crunchy, spitty fuzz. Lower gain sounds can be had as well. Internal trimpot tunes the bias of the germanium transistor. Classic Zonk tones to searing sustain.
This circuit is a blend of old and new. Hybrid silicon and germanium. Extended gain and volume output. It features a more usable fuzz control. Filter tunes in the desired amount on treble and spit. It has a Negative ground circuit compatible with modern power supplies and Led indicator.
Finished in a Swanky Blue hammertone powdercoat reminiscent of the original with Zonk vintage style knobs to top it off.
Meet the new Proton - A modern, updated homage to the classic Mutron III envelope filter and the best envelope filter you’ll ever use.
The Mutron III envelope filter was a staple of 1970′s funk and soul music that shaped the sounds of Bootsy Collins, Stevie Wonder and Jerry Garcia among others. But as good as the Mutron sounded, it was not without its problems. It was huge and required a special power supply, and it had a sensitivity control that changed your volume when you kicked it on. Then there’s the price – originals routinely fetch $500 or more on eBay!
The Proton is an optically controlled analog envelope filter. The circuit has been completely redesigned to offer better tone and a more musical response. It has a new detector circuit based on the one in the Chromatron, and the familiar control layout has a greatly expanded range that can get the classic 1970s filter sounds and well beyond. The new range switch allows for much deeper filter sweeps, and the reworked tone knob covers every soundscape from cocked wah to laser beams.
Imagine the sound of the previous version, now imagine it sounds even better than that and You can purchase one right here.
We are very picky about the product lines we carry here. They must have great tone, stellar reliability and the right vibe. Thus far, We are very impressed by all of the manufacturers we deal with . In addition, the manufacturers we carry all have one big thing in common: They are all Super-creative People that are fun and easy to deal with!
