Description

TARS DLX is the Deluxe version of our TARS pedal.

TARS DLX is a fuzz with 2 analog filters inspired by the MS-20.

Probably the only pedal with 4 pole resonant Low Pass and High Pass Filters.
It is a stage & studio tool to shape your sound with high precision or an experimental device for loud noise makers.

We build only 100 units worldwide.

It is an evolved version of TARS, a robot looking for life in space too. (and a pedal we released a year ago).

Fuzz

• Gain : Placed after the input buffer stage and followed by silicon gain and clipping stages.
• Master : Master volume.
• FBK : Controls the amount of the feedbacked fuzz when you engage Crash footswitch. Can self oscillate according to your gain setting.

Analog Filters

• Low Pass Filter CutOff : This fader controls the cutoff frequency of the MS-20 style low pass filter. Based on a LM13700 stage. Goes from 15Hz to 44kHz.
• LPF Resonance : Increases the intensity of the signal around the cutoff frequency.
• Filter Volume : VCA – sets the output volume of the filter. Pretty useful to adjust the filter to your setup.
• 2p/4p toggle switches : Select the attenuation curve. Cut at -12dB/octave (2p) or at -24dB/octave (4p).
• High Pass Filter CutOff : This fader controls the cutoff frequency of the MS-20 style high pass filter. Based on a LM13700 stage. Goes from 30Hz to 22kHz.
• HPF Resonance : Increases the intensity of the signal around the cutoff frequency.

CRISPY

• Add Fuzz (long press Crash footswitch) : Add an extra unfiltered fuzz signal. The result is louder and creates a nice phasing effect and cool frequencies boost or cut depending on the cutoff position.
• Serial – // toggle switch : Put the fuzz into the filter – or use both effects in //.
• LPF/HPF Expression toggle switch: Select on which filter the expression pedal acts.
• Expression/CV : The Expression/CV control is linked to the cutoff fader of your choice.
• FBK (short press Crash footswitch) : Adds feedback to the fuzz. Can create notes and self oscillate.
