Pigtronix Philosopher’s Tone Germanium Gold LTD

Description

The Pigtronix Philosopher’s Tone Germanium Gold LTD is a new version of the classic Philosopher’s Tone compression/sustainer/distortion pedal that has been a favorite for many guitarists. This new limited version of the Philosopher’s Tone comes equipped with 1N60 Germanium Diodes in an asymmetrical clipping format. What this translates into is a smooth top end and midrange response, creating more character and even more punch than the original Pigtronix Philosopher’s Tone. If you felt that the original circuits in the Philosopher’s Tone were brilliant, wait until you hear how the Germanium diodes add to the overall character of this compressor/sustainer pedal.

The clean side of the Philosopher’s Tone remains the same – dial in your Treble and Volume to get the signal you desire. Use the Sustain Knob to dial in the amount of compression you need – this will provide a sustain unheard of in many compression pedals, and retain the original integrity of your tone. The Grit knob acts as a blender control, and you can dial in more or less grit, depending on your tastes. Your clean and overdriven tones from the Philosopher’s Tone can be blended perfectly – with just the right amount of grit for your playing. The Pigtronix Philosopher’s Tone Germanium Gold LTD really brings something special to the world of compression stompboxes. With Germanium diodes, a more refine treble response, incredible sustain, and smooth overdrive on hand, this is the compression pedal to have on your board.
