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.

True Bypass and 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.

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!

EQD.Dispatch.Master

As one of our top selling pedals, The Dispatch Master, from EarthQuaker Devices gives you exactly what you want in reverb and delay. It's the smaller and more modern answer to EQD's well loved, limited run Ghost Disaster from 2010! The Dispatch Master is a digital delay and reverb unit with an all analog, direct signal path and true bypass switching. It is capable of producing nearly 2 seconds of delay time with near-infinite repeats and a cavernous reverb. Both effects can be run separately or in unison. Even though it is a DSP based effect, the sound is warm and full. No sterile lifeless tones here! The delay signal is clear and strong with no after effects or signal degradation and the repeats decay into a nice ambient swell with no oscillation. The reverb is MASSIVE and is sure to please those who love EQD's Ghost Echo, but want more depth and less artifacts. It's the perfect "Black Hole Ambience Generator" and has been featured in Premier Guitar Magazine, receiving the Premier Gear award.

The options on The Dispatch Master seem to be endless. To use as a reverb only, turn the time control all the way down, adjust the reverb and mix controls to taste. In this mode, the repeats control can be used to enhance the thickness, decay, depth and overall nature of the reverb. With the reverb control at it’s maximum setting, the repeats control will gradually overload the effect at higher settings. To use as a delay only, turn the reverb control all the way down and adjust the time, repeats and mix controls to taste. To use both effects in unison, adjust all controls to taste. It's true bypass and hand made one at a time in landlocked, Akron, Ohio. Try it out at Namm (booth 2596) along with the rest of the EQD line, including new releases! A masterpiece! 

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.

EQD.Press.Release

We are happy to announce two new pedals from EarthQuaker Devices. These two devices were released at Winter Namm 2012 and are sure to make waves much like the recent release of the Rainbow Machine.

Read all about them and get psyched to get yours from Elevation Boutiques as soon as they are up for purchase! 

The Organizer

The Organizer is a polyphonic organ emulator with controls 

for octave up, octave down, choir, direct signal, lag and tone. 

Like the highly praised Rainbow Machine, it uses a mix of 

analog and DSP circuitry with true by-pass switching. 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 on both 

notes as well as chords. The unique choir control takes a 

blend of the octave up, octave down and direct signal to give 

you an additional octave up, +2 octaves up, octave down, +2 

octaves down and direct feed with a roomy delay that is 

unbelievable! On top of that, it has compact foot print and 

great price! 

Controls: 

• Octave up (polyphonic octave up level Octave down 

(polyphonic octave down level) Choir (multi octave voice) 

• Direct (analog direct signal level) 

• Tone (LP filter) 

• Lag (delay between the wet and dry signal) 

• MAP: $185.00 USD Release Date: March 2012 

Tone Job

The tone job is an all analog active guitar and bass EQ and 

booster with a small foot print. It was designed to be subtle 

yet highly effective while dialing in all the right frequencies. It 

was tuned by ear using a number of different guitar and amp 

combinations with the goal of delivering booming low end, 

chiming highs and cutting mids without being overbearing 

like most guitar oriented EQ’s on the market. Simple and 

effective, exactly what a guitar EQ should be. 

• Level (boost control) Bass 

• Middle 

• Treble 

• MAP: $165.00 USD Release Date: June 2012

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!
