• Series-switchable boost and overdrive
• Rugged die-cast construction for years of use
• Made in the U.S.A.

ToadWorks Death Rattle is a Professional Series effect pedal consisting of two channels of overdrive, as well as an independently switchable boost. Each channel has been precisely designed to emulate classic tube amps sounds: the Tweed channel does a dead-on impression of an early era American tube amp, and the Plexi side delivers high-gain crunch of the classic British amplifiers. Each mode was designed to emulate a very specific sound, giving bedroom players and working musicians an affordable, reliable method of reproducing the tone of these highly prized amplifiers. The Tweed circuit is transistor based, and is designed to give smooth, rounded breakup, and to be extremely sensitive to attack, just like a vintage American amp. The Plexi circuit uses an op-amp do simulate the higher gain, reminiscent of the classc British amplifiers - it's smooth with lots of high end and slightly scooped mids, with a nice, soft attack that is the signature of the 60's plexi.

In addition, The clean boost is re-routable via a mini toggle switch located directly above the boost pot. This allows you to place the boost in front of, or after the overdrive circuits, and it's all True Bypass. Overdrive 1 is thick and complex, with a midrange control and plenty of gain on tap. Perfect for heavy lead and rhythm work, this overdrive begs you to get your rawk on. Overdrive 2 is smooth and warm, with a presence control and remarkably realistic breakup. Rock, R&B, Country - you name it, this does it. The real magic happens when both overdrives are combined to create the "Fat City" sound - the combined gain structures result in a heavy, yet surprisingly defined sound. Tight and punchy, yet warm and dynamic, the "Fat City" sound is the ultimate in analog overdrive. This may well be the last overdrive you ever buy. Welcome to Fat City.

ToadWorks Texas Flood Classic Overdrive Effect Pedal

ToadWorks Texas Flood Classic Overdrive Effect Pedal Review

ToadWorks Texas Flood Classic Overdrive Effect Pedal Feature

• Increased Gain range
• True-Bypass, 100% analog design
• Improved low end response
• Rugged die-cast construction for years of use
• Made in the U.S.A.

ToadWorks Texas Flood is a a classic overdrive modeled on the legendary TS-808 circuit. It's not a clone - we don't make clones, and there was certainly room for improvement on this classic circuit. Texas Flood has undergone extensive testing by professional guitarists in both live and studio settings, and the verdict is in - we blew the competition out of the water. Let's face it, the TS series of pedals are the most popular in the world, and have been for almost 30 years. Everyone's got one, but the complaints are always the same: No bottom end, less than perfect tone control, not enough range of gain. The boutique pedal world responded with a sea of clones and mods, prompting endless discussion on carbon Vs metal film, qualities of different 4558 op-amp models, thru-hole Vs SMD, and a million other tonal factors both real and imagined. The sheer number of variations on this one theme suggests that to this day, no one got it right - until now. ToadWorks Texas Flood is an op-amp based overdrive effect, featuring asymetric diode clipping and a unique tone stack derived from the classic TS-808 circuit. Unlike the original on which it is based, Texas Flood has a big bottom end that just won't quit, and a tone control that sounds good across the whole range of sweep.

ToadWorks Phantasm Dynamic Phaser Effect Pedal

ToadWorks Phantasm Dynamic Phaser Effect Pedal Review

ToadWorks Phantasm Dynamic Phaser Effect Pedal Feature

• Winner of the 2008 Guitar Player Editor's Pick Award
• True-Bypass, 100% analog design
• Used by Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), Paul Jackson Jr.(American Idol)
• Rugged die-cast construction for years of use
• Made in the U.S.A.

Winner of the coveted Guitar Player Magazine Editor's Pick Award, the ToadWorks Phantasm is the world's first 9V battery operated, opto-analog dynamic phaser with a Center-Axis control pedal (whew!). With three basic modes of operation, stunning clarity and an uparalleled feature set, ToadWorks Phantasm is truly in a class of it's own. Phantasm utilizes vactrols (opto-isolators) both in the signal and control path, resulting in remarkably smooth, ridiculously quiet operation, and the fact that it runs on 9V batteries makes it all the more miraculous. Phantasm sets the standard for noise floor in analog phaser pedals, proving that analog phasers don't have to be noisy. Phantasm is 100% pure Analog phaser. Go from a light cream smoothie to hopped-up, caffeine laden grind with a swift turn of the Feedback knob for that swooshy 70's sound. Go slow, go fast. Make the sweep window wide, make it narrow. Go shallow, go deep. Control the sweep and depth dynamically. Re-center the whole sweep window, if you feel like it. Phantasm does all this and more, and no other analog phaser pedal on the planet can make the same claim. Period. Phantasm incorporates simplicity of design with a full-figured feature set, the centerpiece being the attack controlled modes. With Phantasm's Attack Controlled Depth (ACD) and Attack Controlled Sweep (ACS) you can increase OR decrease both the Depth and Sweep based on how hard you hit the strings. With the Width control at minimum and ACS off, the Axis control is effectively a “manual” sweep control and can sweep the phaser over the entire range. The end product of three years of development, Phantasm offers studio-quality phasing at a fraction of the cost. In fact, no other battery-powered phaser comes close to the range of features available on the Phantasm.
