Manufacturer: Earthbound Audio Effects
Model: Supercollider
MSRP/Paid: $120/$120
New/Used/Loan: New
Battery: Yes
Power Supply: 9v boss style
Size: Aprox. 4” wide, 5” tall, 2 1/4” deep (jacks/knobs etc included)
Available from: Direct

From the maker:

SUPERCOLLIDER distortion/fuzz box
capable of massive guitar sounds ranging from super low frequency fuzz to tight crunchy distortion. excellent for low-tuned guitars and players who need a versatile pedal for various styles of heavy music.

THE CONTROLS:

  • DEPTH: this controls the amount of low frequency available. turn the knob fully counter-clockwise for the most bass and fuzzier sounding notes. turn it clockwise for a progressively crunchier sound with crisper notes.
  • TONE: start at noon and turn clockwise for more treble or counter-clockwise for less. use this in conjunction with the depth control and mids switch to fine tune the distortion.
  • MIDS SWITCH: switch down gives a mid-scooped tone, switch up gives an even midrange.
  • GAIN: intensity of distortion. sounds best between 2 o’clock to 5 o’clock (maximum) for super heavy sounds or between 10 o’clock and 1 o’clock with the volume cranked to drive an amp.
  • VOLUME: overall output volume. adjust to taste.

  2. Hi.
    When reviewing, would it be possible to mention the type of device used to create the sound (silicone, diode, germanium, FET, ect)
    Thanks

  4. There’s a link to his myspace page on the overview. Not sure how you order, though. The fact that it’s a tiny one man operation means that he needs all the customers he can get. If I were him, I’d definitely ship to Greece. Then again, I’m not him. Also, be prepared to pay a lot extra for the shipping costs.
