Saturn V Harmonic Booster

Silver

AVAILABLE NOW!

SOLD OUT

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.Talons

$195.00 + Shipping

The newest from EarthQuaker Devices is here! 

The Talons is an extremely versatile overdrive with options of a clean OD all the way to heavy metal and everything in between. In EarthQuaker style this all handmade machine will not break the bank, coming in at just $195. 

From EQD: "The Talons Overdrive is a project we have been working on for a long time at EQD. After nearly a year of variations and fine tuning we finally nailed the versatility we were after! It very well may be the best and most useful go-to overdrive we have ever heard! Embracing best-of-breed functionalities, it features a full active tone stack, a presence control for sculpting the top end and more gain than one should ever need from an overdrive in a very compact format. Unlike all our other overdrives, the Talons was not designed to emulate any specific sound or era. It can be glassy and open, scooped and chunky, gritty and wild, light and airy, drunk and unhinged... Maximize your visionary functionalities with the Talons! Artwork by the legendary Dan Grzeca!"

The Talons is an ultra flexible dirt machine that can go from clean to crunch and everything in between with a swift turn of the gain control. Add to that a powerful active 3 band equalization sector and some top end contour via the presence control and you’ve got one versatile little buddy at your disposal. Unlike all our other overdrives, the Talons was not designed to emulate any specific sound or era. It can be glassy and open, scooped and chunky, gritty and wild, light and airy, drunk and unhinged… it will not disappoint you.

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.

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.

EQD.Bit.Commander

This is one of our favorites of EarthQuaker Device's line up and it demands attention!

The Bit Commander is a monophonic analog guitar synthesizer with four octaves of vintage square wave synth tones. It’s no-nonsense interface makes it easy to add or subtract octaves to create a wide variety of sounds without having to dial in envelopes or oscillators. Ripping sub-octave thump, pulsing octave down, a lightly squared base tone and a swelling transformer based octave up all join together to make a single guitar sound like an army of olde tyme synths.

Like all analog octave effects, there are some basic rules to follow that will get you the most enjoyment from your Bit Commander. Use the neck pickup and play single notes. The best tracking occurs from the 7th fret up on all the strings. Below the 7th will still track but there will be occasional glitches and stutters. The lower the note, the harder it is for the Bit Commander to register. The use of Bass and lower registers on keyboards will yield unexpected, sometimes pleasing, sometimes disgusting results. These are not mistakes or flaws, it is the nature of analog octaves.

Controls:

Sub: Two octaves down level

Down 1: One octave down level

Up 1: One octave up level

Base: Squared input signal level

Level: Master volume

Filter: Tone control, more highs clockwise, more warmth counter clockwise

The Bit Commander is analog & true bypass. Made by hand!

EQD.Organizer

It's here!

EarthQuaker Devices obviously don't know how to disappoint. 

Their latest release, The Organizer is here and it is unbelievably cool! 

We have it here and it's ready for your board. 

The Organizer is so popular already that upon ordering be ready to wait 7 days before it ships. 

*We will post a demo of this pedal soon*

The Organizer is a polyphonic organ emulator designed to mimic the organ tones of yesteryear crossed with the highly unique “Guitorgan”. The organizer has a warm and very analog  feel with a hint of Leslie warble that is unlike other modern  octave shifters. It tracks all over the neck on both guitar and  bass and will transpose single notes as well as chords. The  Organizer uses a mix of analog and DSP circuitry with true bypass switching and an all analog direct (dry) signal path.

The controls:

• Up: Level control for the octave up.
  
• Down: Level control for the octave down.
  
• Choir: This control takes a mix of the octave up and octave down setting and regenerates it. The end result is an additional 2 octaves up, 2 octaves down and direct signal with a slight delay that adds a “church organ” like feel. This control only works if the octave up and octave down are in use.
  
• Direct: Level control for the analog dry signal.
  
• Tone: Low pass filter for the wet signal, counter clockwise rolls off the high end.
  
• Lag: Delay control for the wet signal. Full counter clockwise is minimal delay, delay time increases as it rotates clockwise.

PowerA standard 9 volt DC power supply with a negative center 2.1mm barrel, current draw is 70ma. No battery option.

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!

Silver.Spaceman.Aphelion

Spaceman Effect's extremely popular Aphelion Harmonic Overdrive is starting to get low in numbers. Spaceman has never backed down from making each effect limited in quantity no matter what. The Aphelion is no different. Like the Mercury lll, Spacerocket & Gemini lll, The Aphelion will soon run out and only be found with select dealers, ebay and you may even stumble upon one at a pawn shop in Nashville. The catch is, you'll pay a bit more for it. When they sell out from Spaceman's site it's no surprise that the price goes up on these now rare pedals.

The Aphelion has already sold through it's custom colors like the Chrome, Silver Sparkle, Blue and even a Black reverse color faceplate!

Don't tear up yet because you can still get the standard unfinished silver version and get the exact same tone as all the other fancy Aphelions! And you can get it right here at Elevation Boutiques!

Don't wait on this. We've seen it happen before...you wait...and bam, it's gone for good.

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.

EarthQuaker.Devices.Hoof

The Hoof from EarthQuaker Devices is this week's featured pedal from Elevation Boutiques. The Hoof is a no-fuss, easy to use device capable of sounds from warm, gritty overdrive to a huge sustaining fuzz. It's a germanium/silicon hybrid muff style fuzz (based on the old green russian muff) with massive amounts of volume on tap and smooth amp-like sustain. It has a tighter, cleaner sound than most muffs which makes it more cutting and discernible in a band setting. The shift control changes the frequency response of the tone control, mainly on the treble side (but takes out the mud on the bass side). Clockwise scoops the mids and counterclockwise enhances the mids. When the shift control is set dead center it has roughly the same frequency response as the original 3 knob hoof (almost flat). With users like Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys you can rest assured there's a lot of rock inside this box! If you like fuzz, this is one you need and at $165 it's easy on the wallet.
