CRUSHTURNAL
Collision Devices unveils the CRUSHTURNAL, a powerful effects pedal inspired by the captivating glitches of digital processors during clock changes. You may remember their Black Hole Symmetry from 2018, which was just as impressive.
Experimental
This experimental effect pedal offers many ways, from delays and reverbs to sample reduction, micro-looping, pitch shifting, and harmonization.
The integrated clock sequencer further amplifies its creative potential, which seamlessly syncs to your tap tempo or an external signal, allowing for precise control over your sonic mayhem.
Key Features
- Glitch-inspired effects: Embrace the unique sonic textures born from digital clock manipulation.
- Multi-faceted sound manipulation: Delay, reverb, sample reduction, micro-looping, pitch shifting, harmonization, and more at your fingertips.
- Expressive clock sequencer: Sync to your tap tempo or an external signal for rhythmic control over your effects.
- Three distinct sections: Ambience, digital repeater, and sequencer provide comprehensive sound sculpting capabilities.
CRUSHTURNAL is available for pre-order at Thomann.
Dirty Boy
Dirty Boy unveils its latest innovation – a preamp inspired by the iconic tones of Blues Saraceno. This pedal packs a punch with its proprietary T.A.E. technology, meticulously crafted by engineer and musician Danny Gomez.
T.A.E.
T.A.E. (Tube Amp Emulation) is the driving force behind the Dirty Boy preamp. This innovative technology, developed by Gomez himself, faithfully captures the warmth and responsiveness of classic tube amplifiers.
