ECHO: This controls the feedback of the onboard slapback echo. Low settings yield minimal results but cranking this knob introduces a rich regenerative feedback that may self-oscillate in certain settings.

MIX: Gives you a master wet-dry mix for the entire effect. When this is fully counterclockwise, you’ll hear only what you fed into the Tritone. Turned fully clockwise, you’ll hear just the effect.

TRITONE: This knob acts as a wet-dry blend for the perfect fifth, delayed at one-half the delay time of the pedal.

TIME: This knob adjusts the timing of the arpeggio. Turning it up increases the speed.

The Tritone requires a center-negative power supply between 9 and 18 volts, capable of supplying at least 100mA of current. Plugging in the wrong supply has some dire consequences, ranging from not working to potentially damaging your device, which carries the additional consequence of voiding your warranty. It’s not recommended.

Not a day goes by at HQ where we’re not tinkering with something on our breadboards. Our engineers have piles of passion projects they work on between other projects. Sometimes those projects are victims of part obsolescence, while other times they don’t reach the final stage because of plain old indecisiveness. A few designs have never seen the light of day because they may appeal to a narrower audience than our regular stuff, or they might have never seen a logical opening in the release schedule. We have special connections to everything we create and are using this to launch our new line initiative, Proto Club, where you can experience these designs and provide us with your feedback, maybe leading to a full-scale release. The release windows on these pedals are limited; some may only be available for a couple of weeks. If this all sounds good to you, we’ll catch you down at the Proto Club.

Every first Proto Club purchase comes with a Proto Club Passport booklet with the first page stamped. Each subsequent Proto Club pedal comes with a new sticker. As you fill up the book with stickers, you will be eligible for bonus stuff, including pedals that are either unreleased or even staple production pedals. Additionally, the price of Proto Club pedals is significantly lower than if it were to be a normal retail release. 

We have a dedicated email address that goes directly to our engineers for your Proto Club pedal feedback. We want this to feel like a community and we value everyone's ideas. That email will be sent to you after your first Proto Club pedal purchase.

You are automatically a member with any Proto Club pedal purchase!
