Boutique Collection

• Collection: Boutique Range
• Type: Octave
• Faithful recreation of the Tycobrahe Octavia circuit — adds an octave above your note
• Used by Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Tony Iommi, and Slash
• Reconstructed with the original Tycobrahe team using units handpicked by César Diaz
• Indicator LED mod added for live use visibility
• Positive ground circuit — requires isolated power supply or battery
• 100% true bypass, handmade in the USA

PL Notes:

So much fun! I remember as a kid listening to the solo in Purple Haze and wondering how Jimi Hendrix got those sounds. I had no idea that a fuzz pedal that creates an octave above your original note existed. Try it on the neck pickup and definitely play with the guitars volume pot. Also really cool stacked with another drive pedal before or after (they sound totally different). ***Be warned they sound like your signal is broken and plenty of people who try them for the first time think something is wrong - but its a good cool kinda wrong ;)

The Chicago Iron Octavian has the same great circuit as the Tycobrahe Octavia, but has an indicator LED mod requested by players. Sound is the same!

The Chicago Iron Octavia was reconstructed with the help of the original Tycobrahe team, using units handpicked by late César Diaz. The Tycobrahe Octavia was used by players like Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Tony Iommi. Current users include Tony Iommi, Slash and Velvet Revolver among many others.

• 100% True Bypass
• Authentic blue steel housing
• Super-bright blue UV LED
  
• Uses standard boss-type 9V DC supply (optional)
  
• Handmade in the USA

Also note: this pedal is made with positive ground, just like the original. This means you can't use it together with other pedals sharing the same power supply - the exception where each output is isolated. Just use a battery :)

• Collection: Boutique Range
• Type: Overdrive
• Dual overdrive circuit in one box — two independent channels with shared controls
• Boost, Overdrive & Distortion (high gain version) 
• Preserves the tone of your guitar and amp while adding warm, natural overdrive
• Works beautifully with any guitar type (single coils, humbuckers, P90s) and any amp
• Not a high-gain pedal — excels at tightening dirty amps and adding touch-sensitive drive
• Entirely handmade by Analog Man with near-unobtainable parts

PL Notes:

I have been using one of these since 2014 and I think Ive used it with every band I've played with which covers quite a few styles. One of things I love about the KOT is that it seems to work really well with any guitar or amp. Clean amp, dirty amp, single coils, humbuckers and P90's all sound great. It sits really well in a band setting but it doesn't change your tone as much as other pedals (eg Tubescreamer). It doesn't do high-gain but if your amp is already dirty it does a great job of tightening up the sound and adding extra gain.

Analog Man, in collaboration with Jim Weider, have come out with the pedal we have been looking for for many years - the King Of Tone (KoT). There are many overdrive pedals on the market, but none of them have been quite right, preserving the tone of the guitar and adding the right amount of overdrive without compromise. There are some good clean boosts available, but they just don't have enough drive to really give your amp the distortion you often want. There are some newer OD pedals that have a great frequency response, but to me they sound too DRY, a bit sterile and cardboardy. There are also some nice sounding pedals available but their sound is too "saturated", losing the touch and feel of your guitar. That is where the King Of Tone pedal comes in - it has enough warm overdrive but still preserves the tones of your quality guitars and amps. If you are looking for a big change in your sound, or a lot of distortion, this is probably not the pedal for you.

• Collection: Boutique Range
• Type: Overdrive
• The revised production version of the legendary Klon Centaur
• Three controls: Gain, Treble, and Output (GTO)
• Clean boost mode at minimum Gain — enormous headroom, zero distortion
• Toggle switch for buffered or true-bypass output when effect is off
  

PL Notes:

Is this thing really that good? Surely it's overhyped? Only one way to find out and that's not spending a few minute playing it on a guitar and amp that are not your own. YOU NEED TO BORROW THIS! When I got this for the library and played it I immediately thought "oh man, this is going on my board".

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE REVISED KLON OVERDRIVE

Controls: Left-to-right, the controls are Gain, Treble and Output. The Gain setting determines how much or how little distortion the unit is generating on its own Treble and Output are self-explanatory. For aesthetic reasons it made no sense to include the control designations as part of the screen printing on the unit,* but here is a useful mnemonic device: GTO.

Treble setting: Don't reflexively leave your Treble setting at noon, us a lot of players seem to do with the tone controls on their pedals. The Treble control is capable of providing subtle gradations in high-frequency response, and is usable and natural sounding throughout its entire range; trust your ears, and use the control.

Output setting: To use the unit as a true overdive - hitting whatever follows it in your signal path harder than your straight through signal would - your Output setting will most certainly need to be above above 10:00. Different amps and pedals have different input stage headroom characteristics, so take some time to experiment with the Output to find whatever setting gives you the best results with your particular rig; often settings in the 11:00 - 1:00 range work well.
