Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi 2The Big Muff Pi 2 is an analog fuzz pedal from Electro-Harmonix that resurrects a never-before-released dual op-amp circuit designed by Big Muff creator Bob Myer in the late 1970s. Discovered as a hand-drawn schematic, this design features two dual op-amps, providing a distinct voicing that separates it from the classic transistor-based and later Op-Amp Big Muff models. This pedal is intended for guitarists, bassists, and sound designers seeking a Big Muff variant with a sharper edge and a notably pronounced low-end and midrange frequency response. Its clipping is less refined than other models, delivering a uniquely aggressive texture and high output volume while maintaining the signature, long sustain of the Big Muff line. The unit is housed in a compact nano-sized chassis and features a modern, soft true bypass footswitch with both latching and momentary action modes for versatile performance. Key Features Circuit: Analog Dual Op-Amp Fuzz based on a previously unreleased 1970s schematic. Tone: Characterized by high output, enhanced low-end, and less-refined clipping for an aggressive texture. Controls: Dedicated knobs for Sustain (gain/distortion), Tone (variable filter), and Vol (output level). Bypass: Features silent true bypass switching via a mechanical relay. Footswitch: Offers user-selectable latching or momentary footswitch operation. Chassis: Nano-sized die-cast enclosure with custom artwork. https://youtu.be/SO0bn9O0jQQ?si=yzxARXvq9dQ6FgMK Read More

Cycles & Spots Reaktor Vectorhttps://youtu.be/vlZta5ctE-k Cycles & Spots crafted a soundscaper which modulates the levels balance of 4 samplers featuring 200 WAV loops implemented. The loops can all have different freely adjustable lengths for polyrhythms and a out-of-phase effect over time. Another huge feature is a randomizer that is well balanced to get best results. In fact because of it this instrument doesn't come with presets (except an intial one for default settings) as it is quick and easy to generate new ones. Of course from there onwards you could further fine-tune if you wish to. A chorus and stereo grain delays are added to the output to make it more thick and rich. Pack Details: Instrument for NI Reaktor feat: Vector XY Mixer With 2 LFOs 200 Implemented Loops Stereo Grain Delay 4 Sample Player Randomizer Chorus. Full Version Of NI Reaktor 6.5.0 (Or Higher) Needed. Read More
