A collaboration pedal with Char.

【Evolution to Create a New Drive Sound based on the Famous Drive Pedals】
There are several overdrive pedals Char has loved for many years. Among them, we have thoroughly researched his personal Klon Centaur, which he especially selected and used for a long period of time. In addition, we at VEMURAM researched our multiple Klon Centaur’s which one of the units was said to be the “best” sounding unit. We also focused on the boost/gain of the Roland CE-1 and the Watkins Copicat which Char has been using for many years and became his iconic signature sound. Combining the boost/gain with his overdrive, we proceeded with the development of this pedal to reflect those sound nuances. Char and our team (VEMURAM) tested, redesigned, and tweaked several prototypes while hearing his feedback using them on his live gigging scenes. As a result, we have evolved a new versatile medium-gain drive sound.

【Two Sound Tunings Integrated into One Unit】
Of the many prototypes created during the year-long development process, there were two prototypes which Char was particularly focusing. The circuits of these two are slightly different but almost similar. However, due to the differences in tuning/tweaking of the components and constants used, the “tone” and “nuances” were very different. Char himself could not decide which prototype was better until the very end. He wanted both sounds in his actual live and gigging situation; as a result, we decided to integrate two sounds/tone into one luxurious unit. The first sound/tone has a vintage tone and feel, while the second channel, the B-channel (bright channel), is brighter, aggressive, and powerful with a punchier attack. Each has its own LEVEL (volume) controls and allows you to go back and forth between the two with the foot switch controls.

【Various Control Functions for Fine-Tuning】
Besides the main controls of the SPIRITONE, the SAT (saturation) trimmer function allows fine-tuning of the saturation-like sound generated by the power tubes of the tube amplifiers. An ON/OFF toggle switch for the input buffer circuit. The SAT (saturation) can be finely adjusted according to the combination of the equipment/gear used and adapting to the live venue.

【Product Quality and Special Specifications】
Our well-known custom components, such as custom-ordered foot switches, input/output jacks, and capacitors, as well as rare *N.O.S. components, are applied to the SPIRITONE. This product has been specially designed to reach the “joy of ownership” of many guitar players, not only focusing on the sound/tone but also by applying the custom-made color (ash white) Bakelite knobs.

【*N.O.S. (New Old Stock) Components】
SPIRITONE applies N.O.S. components; please do understand there is a possibility that the components or the circuitry may be revised without prior notice. In addition, please note that sales may be suspended or terminated without prior notice if it is determined that the sound quality cannot be maintained within our acceptable limits with other alternative components.
