WET- DRY TUBE STEREO MIXER

DESCRIPTION. How do you get your guitar signal wet, without dipping it into digital water? Sick of the mud and loss of dynamics, especially from budget processors, all for that little bit of reverb or chorus? The Signal Station tube mixer is the answer! It splits your guitar signal after the pre-amp and sends some to the effects unit for processing and from there is mixed back with the dry using tubes to maintain dynamics and that tube tone. The result of this process is dramatic.  Now you can hear your sound as it really is, because the original guitar signal has not been inside the "solid state, digital environment". The other feature of this little box is that your processor can now be run 100% wet, and the "wet-dry" function control on the front of the unit allows instant access to the mix against your dry signal, so without having to open up the "edit" page in the processor,  while the rest of the band are wondering what he's doing, a simple turn of the knob and you have a wetter or drier sound instantly, no fuss.  NOTE. This product is basically a stereo tube mixer and can be used to mix any 2 signals together as per standard solid state mixers.  FEATURES. 1 Dry Input.  1 Dry output.Wet stereo inputs (left and right).  Mixed outputs (master). Wet level control.  Dry level control.  Master volume control. 1 Rack unit. 3 12AX7 tubes.RR $450

The TREMIT is a pocket sized tremolo pedal designed to emulate the old Fender amp tremolo with the addition of a sine or square wave switch for greater versatility.  The unit consist of amplitude stabilised, low frequency oscillator, driving an opto-coupling device which modulates the signal in the amplifier circuit. It is battery operated and has a LED for speed indication. Battery life is extended due to careful design and low current consumption electronic components. The Tremit uses high quality switchcraft input, output sockets, heavy duty Carling bypass switch, metal knobs and wave switch and is housed in a red powder coated diecast box for maximum durability.   CONTROLS:SPEED: This control adjusts the speed of the tremolo effect. Its range is about 2 - 15hz. DEPTH: Adjusts the amount of tremolo effect the Tremit has on your guitar signal. SINE/SQUARE WAVE SWITCH: changes the shape or the sound of the tremolo from the smooth traditional surf sounds of the 60's (sine) to a more accentuated and innovative tremolo sound (square)   BYPASS: Hit this switch (Carling) to bypass the effect.    INPUT SOCKET: Is 1/4 inch (Switchcraft), and turns the Tremit on when you plug into it.  OUTPUT SOCKET: Is also 1/4 inch (Switchcraft).    EXTERNAL POWER SOCKET: is a 2.1mm connector and requires 9 volts DC when plugging into this socket the internal battery is automatically disconnected.

MIDI MOD

AMP SWITCHING CONTROLLER

The MIDI MOD is a single chip micro controller designed to receive program change information only from any midi transmitting device ie. Midi foot controller, sequencer etc. and on any midi channel.  Installed into a guitar pre-amp for example which is required to be midi driven, allows pre-amp function ie. Channel changing, EQ. in or out to be activated via midi command. Up to 8 pre-amp functions can be controlled simultaneously per program number and stored in the MIDI Mods non-volatile RAM.

INSTALLATION EXAMPLEYou have a 2 Channel Marshall or Fender and a multi effects processor and a midi foot controller. To change your patches on the effects unit you hit one of the buttons on your foot controller and if you're about to do your solo you have to hit the amps channel button also. The Midi Mod when installed in to your amp, or setup separately will change the channels on your amp for you, so you only hit one button to get your solo sound.If installed into your amp, you will have a midi in socket and a small program button. Your existing channel switching operation will not alter, but now you will use this to program your amp to change channels when you access you sounds from your effects unit.The amps channel changing can still be operated as it was before the Midi Mod was installed. NOTE: The midi Mod should be installed by a competent technicianSherlock Amplifiers, being the designer of the Midi Mod, Has installed many Midi Mods into a variety of equipment. Please call for a quote on installation.  MIDI MOD comes in kit form including, Midi Mod pcb, 5 pin DIN plug, program switch, comprehensive instructions and examples of installations.RR $159
