Premier Guitar Review

The Saturn V is a tone enhancer. It features a simple two knob control layout for Boost and Drive. The Boost control

alone can deliver 18db of boost, with a hint of added sparkle. Adjusting the Drive control will add more harmonic

distortion, while also increasing the total output level of the pedal. Cranking both controls to max will yield 35db of

boost, full of complex harmonic character. The overall tone of the Saturn V gives a subtle openness to the top end of the frequency spectrum. As great as this pedal sounds with guitar, it works equally well with bass and baritone guitar, as it keeps the bass frequencies present, tight and controlled. The harmonic distortion present in the Saturn V is extremely dynamic, dig in and the Saturn V will react. The drive texture is comprised of a mix of odd and even harmonics. The Boost side of the pedal is focused on even-order harmonics. While the Drive side of the pedal increases these even-order harmonics, it noticeably adds odd-order harmonics to the mix. While it excels as a harmonic booster, the Saturn V crosses the line into the realm of light overdrive when the Drive control is maxed. Completely hand soldered and handmade in Portland, Oregon, the Saturn V utilizes true-bypass switching via the heaviest duty mechanical footswitch available, while your tone is transferred via quality open-frame jacks. Open one up and you’ll see an unparalleled display of craftsmanship, with an immaculate hand-soldered PCB, detailed military-spec wiring and custom heavy-duty battery connector. On top of the USA cast-aluminum enclosure sits a durable, engraved vinyl faceplate and jewel indicator light. This pedal is built to last a lifetime. Each pedal is numbered on the nameplate, stating it's limited availability and in addition each is signed and numbered on the inside. The Saturn V also comes with a transferable five year warranty, plus a lifetime discount repair plan.

All sales are final.

Fargen.Amps

We are excited to now be working with Fargen Amps and Sonic Edge Pedals! 

Now in its 10th year, Fargen Amplification has progressed from a small one man operation, into a thriving boutique company that ships world class guitar amplifiers to discerning players on three continents. Benjamin Fargen also provides consultant design work as well as world tour amp support, to many of the world’s most celebrated guitarists.

Musicians are on the hunt for the ultimate tone. They often purchase amplifiers and effects off-the-shelf, and then modify them in order to correct deficiencies in the product, and to accomplish better tone, often trying to match the tone of their favorite artist. Fargen's tube amplifiers are all hand wired. Fargen's standard amp line consists of four models that represent the best of classic and modern tone. They create an unlimited number of design in the Fargen Custom Shop, where they build to customer specs. Fargen's effects pedal line, Sonic Edge Pedals, leverage their amps circuitry. All of Fargen's designs are 100% original and are not clones or imitations of other company's model. 

We will be featuring  each amp and Sonic Edge Pedals soon on our blog site. We welcome Fargen Amps to Elevation Boutiques. For more information on Fargen or to order email Brandon@elevationboutiques.com

EQD.Monarch

We get a lot of questions on this more than fantastic overdrive by EarthQuaker Devices and as OD's go it's on of the best not to mention one of our personal favorites. 

Monarch Overdrive

The Monarch Overdrive is an all discrete, FET based dirt machine. It’s designed around the input stage of a vintage amp produced by a company that bears the same name as the color of the monarch (hint...). It’s been configured to produce higher gains that sound very natural and free of compression. The treble and bass controls function as frequency boosters, not the traditional roll off filters in most OD’s. They are located in the preamp section and have a large impact on the over all tone, nature and distortion characteristics of the pedal as well as your amp. It gives big bottom end with a snappy, bright top at all gain ranges with some careful tuning of the tone controls. If you are looking for an overdrive for big fat chords with excellent low end retention, this is it! And, yes, it's true bypass.

Handmade with sweet loving care in Akron Ohio.

Measures4.37" X 2.37" X 1.75" with knobs

PowerAny regulated 9-18 volt DC power supply with a negative 2.1mm center barrel. Higher voltages will yield more headroom with a fatter and more focused tone and a wider gain range.Controls:Treble- Boosts the HighsBass- Boosts the LowsGain- Controls the overdriveLevel- Output

ColdCraft.Custom.Shop

Elevation Boutiques has become one of the only places to get ColdCraft Effects Custom Shop pedals! 

The Kiwi Fuzz, The Fiesta Fuzz, and The Fet Head are here and you won't find them anywhere else. 

The limited edition FET Head was designed to be the ultimate pre-boost.  The all-Mosfet design features elements of Treble Boosters, stationary/stuck wah and a gritty, fuzzy overdrive.  This effect was specifically designed to come before dirty amps or overdrives to kick them into high gear with an extremely tunable and vocally articulate lead boost.  The combined effect is a thicker, tighter distortion that cuts extremely well in a band setting.

The first stage of the FET Head is a Mosfet-based treble boost featuring a Range control.  Range alters both the low frequency roll-off on the input, as well as the guitar signal input loading.  This kind of control works extremely well whether driven by a buffered output, or directly from the guitar.  The Gain knob controls the boost of the first stage.  The 2nd stage features a Boot-strapped Mosfet gain stage driving a differential stage.  This arrangement supplies the subtle, cocked wah vocal qualities as well as the overdrive/fuzz tone.  Wrapped around this stage is the Presence control, a negative feedback treble control very similar to those used in vintage tube amps.  The FET Head also features plenty of output power, tamed by the Volume control.

The first of Cold Craft's limited run Custom Shop effects is the Sweet Kiwi, a thick, modern Fuzz/Distortion with plenty of girth, bite and harmonic content to take your riff rock to the next level.  Dead simple two-knob operation puts no-frills tone at your fingertips.

Based on cascading power amp designs, the Sweet Kiwi has all the thick fuzz and volume boost needed to stand out.  3 stages power the Kiwi, combining op amp clipping for musical sizzle and power amp stages for thick, juicy muscle. The fuzz control increases the input drive to the power stages. The combination is best described as a fuzzy, saturated amp.

Used as a standalone effect, it’s equally at home with clean, semi or dirty amps. You can also stack the Kiwi after your boosts, overdrives and other filter effects for even more over the top, singing lead tones, even those ratty, raspy, low gain fuzzes that we all love for our riff rock. The bass content is thick and strong, fitting for all sorts of power chords, riffs and leads.

The MOSFET big brother of the original Fiesta Fuzz, the Custom Shop MOSFET Fiesta is a hybrid Silicon/Mosfet design that stacks an additional gain stage in front for thick, over-saturated fuzz.  The tone is very vocal, falling somewhere between a traditional Fuzz Face and that of a Tonebender.  The Mosfet stage keeps the sound focused and tight without losing that unique saturated honk.

The MOSFET Fiesta has traditional Fuzz and Volume controls with enough saturation and volume to severely punish your amp.  It also sports a "Smooth" control which tailors the input impedance to taste, this controls the softness and attack of the fuzz while also allowing proper operation when stacked after other effects.  9v DC Operation Only.

Look out for more custom shop ColdCraft pedals coming soon & exclusively found at Elevation Boutiques.

Last.Aphelion

We have one more Spaceman Aphelion Harmonic Overdrive. Over the last month they have been discontinued and have quickly disappeared from shop displays. We have one left. Maybe it's the last one in the country...who knows?

Our guess is if you are here you already know about this elusive pedal. You may also know that everything Spaceman makes is limited in number and will never be manufactured again.

This Aphelion is #16/99 and is the one shown in our demo video.

Lotus.Purple.Boost

Owner of Lotus Pedals, Sean Erspamer, started hand building pedals in 2009 after searching to find incredible tone to no avail.  Sean says, "I design Lotus Pedals to be simple because I want to keep your focus on playing guitar, not fiddling with your gear. Turn the knobs, find a tone that suits your style and play. Its that easy". He has also been a design tech for boutique pro audio maker, Crane Song, learning how to designs circuits with excellent tonal characteristics.  Lotus offers delays, tremolos, overdrives, fuzz and boosts. So there are a whole slew of options to choose from! They will soon be re-designed featuring new paint and labels for a whole new look but same amazing sound! In this post we are featuring the Purple Boost. This pedal has been particularly popular in Nashville among the pros that check out our gear on a regular basis. The Purple Boost was made for those who may play solid state amps. The Purple Boost will give you those tube sounds that are so warm and friendly! What we love about this pedal is pairing up with a tube amp. It's just a double hit of lovely tube sounds. For only $149.00 it's a great boost at a great price!

Spaceman.Gemini.lll.Re-Release

It's true! Spaceman Effects announced today that they are re-releasing the notorious Gemini lll Dual Fuzz Generator! The Gemini lll will be released in a sleek powder coat black, different from any other Gemini lll out there! Only 50 Black Available! You can find 15 Blue Gemini lll's exclusively at Rudy's Music in NYC!


We will begin taking pre-orders on this one of kind, limited run pedal today! Brandon@ElevationBoutiques.com 




The Gemini III is an all-discrete (no IC's) transistor fuzz.  It features two different fuzz circuits in parallel, one vintage germanium and the other, modern silicon.  The germanium side uses vintage 70’s, NOS AC128 transistors, prized for their classic fuzz-tone. 

      The two vastly different fuzzes are blended together via the Ge/Si knob for a layered fuzz tone.  Each fuzz has a choice of three gain settings via toggle switch.  The Master knob controls the output of the final mix, and has enough gain on tap to cause a supernova. 

      The unique tone control affects each fuzz independently, yet at the same time.  12:00 yields a balanced full range fuzz, turn CW for a fantastic mid-scoop and CCW to smooth out the highs.  The remaining toggle switch controls the direction of the tone-sweep for the germanium side, allowing for opposite sweep directions.  The controls allow for many tone combinations between the two fuzz circuits, for some very unique fuzz blends. 

      Completely hand-soldered and handmade in Portland Oregon, the Gemini III utilizes true-bypass switching via the heaviest-duty mechanical footswitch available.  Open one up and you’ll see an unparalleled display of craftsmanship.  Thick, high quality PCB’s, along with detailed military-spec wiring using vintage USA made heavy gauge stranded wire.  On top of the USA-cast aluminum enclosure sits an engraved vinyl faceplate and custom engraved knobs.  This fuzz is built to last a lifetime. 

      The Gemini III covers a wide range of usable fuzz territory, including lower-gain classic tones, heavy high-gain/scooped-mid tones and so much more.  There's plenty of low frequency response on hand to make for an equally awesome bass fuzz (highly recommended for bass).  Also great for baritone and synth. 

      Each pedal is numbered on the nameplate, boasting it's limited availability, and in addition each is signed and numbered on the inside.  The Gemini III also comes with a transferable three year warranty, plus a lifetime discount repair plan.

Burriss.Boostiest.2.5

When you think of the name Burriss you think of amps, great amps. However, do not overlook The Boostiest 2.5 made by Burriss. When an amp company makes a pedal that continuously gets great reviews and is an all together "hot" item you know it's got to be great!

The Burriss Boostiest is a combination of two totally independent gain pedals in a single enclosure. On the right side(input side) there is a fully adjustable clean gain pre-amp. On the left side(output side) there is a "TS" flavored overdrive circuit. Both circuits feed from the same power source, a single 9V battery or a standard "boss" style power supply.

This power source is divided and stepped up to a 16V~18Voperating voltage for the clean gain boost side and lowered or "browned out" for the overdrive circuit. Both circuits are true bypass and can be used alone or together. 

"I believe that this topography gives the best combination for a big clean tone and a fatter overdrive tone." -Bob Burriss, Designer and Custom Builder

CONTROLS

Gain: To achieve the most natural overdrive tone, set the gain knob low and the level control high. The most overdrive effect can be achieved with the level set low in combination with higher gain.

Tone: This is a high frequency roll-off control that is used to compensate for the tone changes that occur when the device is engaged.

Level: This is the master volume control for the overdrive circuit.

Output: This is the master volume control for the boostier circuit. It should be used in conjunction with the gain control to adjust the desired girth of the note.

Highs: This control is intended to compensate for the increased bandwidth (brightness) as the gain is increased. Roll this knob back to adjust the stock (bypassed) tone curve.

Input: This is the gain control of the boostier (clean boost) channel. This knob is designed to be a set-it-and-forget-it kind of control. It is NOT an attenuator. It is a bias adjustment that will make a TERRIBLE, SCRATCHY NOISE if adjusted with the circuit on. (DON'T TRIP! this is absolutely normal) All adjustments should be done with the device in bypass mode or off.

We will have a demo video of this pedal soon. 

All together this is by far one of the best combo boost/overdrives pedals we have played! We have The boostiest ready fro demo along with other Burriss products any time at Elevation Boutiques. Purchase the Boostiest straight from us for limited time pricing.

EQD.Rainbow.Machine

Okay, this one just couldn't wait for the newsletter! The Rainbow Machine is the newest noisemaker from EarthQuaker Devices!

The Rainbow Machine is a Polyphonic Pitch Shifting/Harmonizing/Alien Aliasing Modulation Generator

This one is for experimenters, adventurists and noisemakers. Totally not for purists and/or tone hounds, there are no “natural sounds” that will come from this box. It takes modern DSP and uses it as a tool of future past to create real time pitch shifting using digital oscillators. The sound is much different than most modern day pitch shifting devices. It was imagineered to be wild and out of control and slightly imperfect while still tracking up and down the guitar neck without glitching out. A cold digital beast made to pretend it has feelings. It will do basic polyphonic harmonies from a 4th down through a 3rd up and every atonal pitch in between.

 You may add in an accompanying 

octave to the harmony by bringing up the Secondary function control. You can take it way beyond and open up your third eye by bringing in the Magic. The Magic is the heart of the Rainbow Machine. In conjunction with the Tracking control, the Magic creates wild pitch take offs and descend’s, chaos chorusing, shrieks, pixie trails and wealth of other general mayhem inducing noises. The pitch can be controled by an external expression pedal for extra fun! The Rainbow Machine can be used on bass, keys, vocals or anything else you can dream up!

Eight.Up

This week's featured pedal by Elevation Boutiques is the Eight Up by Tone Freak Effects! 

The Eight Up is an octave fuzz with some killer tones! A three way toggle switch gives you different gains and a fuzz level for minimum and maximum fuzziness! As you can hear in the demo clip you can use the volume & tone knob on the guitar to play the pedal. You'll get some gnarly sounds! 

The Eight Up is a limited run pedal and made to order. This is a one of a kind piece! 

We have it for $225! 

Email inquires only as this is a limited made to order pedal.
