Notes: Buzz. Beep and bloop. Get high on the lo-fi sounds of "old-school" games, toys and terminals!

The Mainframe provides sample rate reduction ranging from 48kHz to 110Hz. A little background... the sample rate is the number of times per second that a sample or snapshot of an analogue signal is taken. For example, CDs (remember them?) had a sample rate of 44.1kHz which means that the original analogue signal is sampled 44,100 times per second.

The sample rate defines the frequency range that can be reproduced while maintaining good fidelity. When the sample rate is reduced the quality of the audio is degraded and aliasing occurs. Aliasing means audible artifacts created when higher frequencies are sampled at an inadequate rate and the result is distortion. The Mainframe's sample rate range is wide enough to take you from sounds that are quite pristine to sounds that are unrecognizable when compared to the input signal.

It also provides bit crushing ranging from 24-bit to 1-bit. What does that mean? Bit crushing is bit depth reduction. Back to the CD example... CDs used a 16-bit bit depth meaning that each of its samples was represented by 16-bits of information. Higher bit depths can accurately represent a greater dynamic range while bit crushing increases the number of sampling errors and creatively degrades the sound to bring us back to those nasty "old school" sounds we love.

The Mainframe's selectable High/Low/Band-Pass filter lets the user shape the artifacts of the bit crushing and sample rate. Another very cool feature is its Sample Rate Tuning Mode where the pedal analyses your input signal in real-time and sets the sample rate to match the pitch of your signal, or a set interval above your signal. This allows you to set the sample rate to match the key of a song, or it will continually adjust the sample rate based on what you play!"

Notes: Amazing analogue delay plus chorus and vibrato!

The EHX Memory Boy straps on the cape and flies with heritage into the search for amazing sound at a price that mere mortals can afford.

The Memory Boy uses the Deluxe Memory Man as a base, expanding upon it with additional modulation features and an optional Expression Pedal input allowing external control over Delay Time or Modulation Rate.

The Memory Boy carries the performance heritage for warm analogue delays and modulations that made its ancestors the go to legends that remain today. With two years in design, the focus was making the legend affordable to every musician while maintaining the character and artistic sounds that let you stand apart.

Notes: The Cab X2 is the latest digital cabinet simulation and impulse response pedal from MOOER Audio, featuring stereo input and output, build-in factory simulation models, and support for third-party impulse response files.

The Cab X2 provides robust stereo support for users that need to take their favorite digital cab sims and IR files from their laptop to the stage. The Cab X2 supports flexible stereo setups, allowing the option to bypass the cab sim pedal itself and connect to an external amplifier, sound board, PC, or pedal board. Two footswitch modes are also included and can be configured as a traditional on/off switch or to cycle through presets.

Designed to make management of all your presets and IR files simple, the Cab X2 editor software is free to download for MacOS/Windows and makes setting up your X2 fast and easy. Simply download the software, connect your X2 with the included USB cable, and tweak your cab simulation files to perfection.

While away from your PC, the Cab X2 includes a headphone jack to keep everything nice and quiet while you manage presets on-the-go or for practice.

Features:
High-quality, IR-loading stereo cabinet simulation pedal
Includes 14 user preset slots that can store two different cabinet simulation settings each
11 factory cabinet simulation files with support for loading third-party impulse response files
Choose between mono or stereo setups with the ability to bypass the cab sim for each channel
Footswitch can be assigned as a traditional on/off switch or to switch between presets
Comes with specialized editor software for preset management and IR loading

Notes: The first pedal to get the X2 treatment is the D7 X2 Delay Pedal. With the 14 high-quality delay effects, this pedal features more than double the effects of its skinnier brother, the D7 Delay, while also adding stereo inputs and outputs. The array of delay effects in the D7 X2 have a wide range from classic analog and tape delays to more modern and experimental delays such as "Low-Bit", "Galaxy", and "PingPong". Adjustable parameters are different based on each effect and can be customized with the Tweak 1 and Tweak 2 knobs. Additional parameters can be adjusted by using the MIX, TIME, and FEEDBACK knobs. Timing of each delay can be adjusted with the TIME knob or by using the TAP TEMPO footswitch for quick adjustments on the fly.

Notes: The R7 X2 Reverb combines MOOER's best digital effects algorithms from the A7 Ambiance and R7 Reverb pedals and combines 14 different types of high-quality stereo reverb in to one ultimate pedal. Parameter knobs include High Cut, Low Cut, and Mix for adjusting the EQ and Decay and Pre-Delay knobs for adjusting the intensity of each effect. Unique features of the R7 X2 include the Infinite and Trail-on functions to customize how each effect fades out.

Each pedal features a single designated save slot for each effect where users can save their settings after being tweaked to perfection. A BYPASS footswitch is included for easy toggling. Simultaneously pressing the TAP and BYPASS switches turns on Preset Rolling Mode to switch between saved presets easily

14 different reverbs

Classic: Room, Hall, Church, Cave, Plate, Spring, Studio

Modern Ambient: Mod, Reverse, Wrap, Shake, Crush, Shimmer, Dream

Notes: Open up your signal routing options with this neat and simple pedal. Split one signal into three, run effects in parallel, mix three signals together, set up ABY routing or set levels. Versatile.

Supplier's Notes:
The Signal Blender provides a number of parallel routing solutions through its use of a pair of send/returns, primary input and output, switching, and volume control.

Signal Blender can be used as a:
Parallel effect blender
3-to-1 mixer
1-to-3 splitter
Active ABY in either direction
Volume level setter

and more.

A courtesy 9V power outlet and phase correction switches for both Sends add further versatility to this box. Clever switching allows for latching or momentary on/off action.

The Signal Blender uses standard 9V center negative power, and has a current draw of 31 mA.
