Product Description
The king of marginal gains has returned to the drawing board and emerged with the Chain Home. You see, Adrian Thorpe is a bit of a vintage stompbox nut. And though many classics were crafted in the first wave of guitar pedals, seldom was as much love applied to the circuits as builders of today can provide. As children of the original effects pioneers, we pay homage to the classics. This is the Chain Home's genesis. The Chain Home is a reimagining of the classic Vox plug-in effect, the Repeat Percussions tremolo. In the days of effects yore, tremolo was done with tubes, producing a smooth sine wave trem or a phase-like harmonic trem. When Vox used a 2n2646 pulse generator in a tremolo circuit, the result was magical. Weird, but magical. It produced a reverse sawtooth wave, unlike anything on the market. This same part is also the heart of the Chain Home-a real-deal NOS Motorola 2n2646 runs the show here. The waveform has been tamed a bit-it's about as amp-like as a Repeat Percussions box gets. While the original has Rate and Depth, the Chain Home gives extended ranges of each plus a couple extra features.
