The heart of the Triage Deluxe is a FET preamp followed by an overdrive stage made from hand picked transistors which form a discrete opamp. It is a ground-up, blank-sheet design from Horrothia fed from the experience of developing the Teeth, Teeth Mk2, Lutz fuzz and the original Triage. Add to this a long experience with drive pedals, and you have a classic.
The FET preamp provides a robust front end offering a high impedance, retaining signal integrity and high frequency content. Following this is a variable high pass filter (input HPF) giving the player an invaluable sonic tool for sculpting the character of the following stages. Next follows the heart of the Triage Deluxe. The overdrive stage is built from individual transistors rather than IC opamps. Discrete opamps are much slower than IC opamps, and collapse and breakup in a much more graceful, musical way.
Headroom controls the voltage headroom of the pedal - set high it sets up the pedal as a great clean boost but lower it and you start to get the gritty characteristics of a small tube amp. Set the clipping switch to off for a clean boost. Switch it on however, and the Triage changes it's character and it's suddenly a low gain overdrive. Different from the standard Triage Deluxe, the Germanium version uses 8 germanium diodes to set the clipping point to the same as the standard silicon version, but give the richness and rasp that only germanium diodes can give. The headroom is virtually identical between the two versions, just the tonal character is different.
The HPF, gain and guitar volume and tone all inform this character and experimentation is much encouraged.
The Breath control is a high frequency control. This has been reworked since the original Triage, and covers a more defined spectrum which throughout retains it's character without becoming woolly or boomy.
The Germanium Triage Deluxe is equipped with Horrothia's own new footswitch. Designed in-house and produced from carbon-fibre impregnated PETG plastic and TPU rubber for the button, it is fit for the rigours of the road yet pleasing on the finger if used on a table top.
Like all Horrothia effects pedals, the Triage Deluxe is hand built, one by one in the quaint seaside enclave of Falmouth, United Kingdom.
