Full Description

Spectre

This through-zero flanger pedal is equipped an all-analog signal path that can be dialed in to create any amount of subtle and wacky flange effects, and an impressive array of chorus and vibrato tones. The Spectre pedal is also monophonic, featuring one input and one output jack, and it offers extraordinary sonic options that will revolutionise your tone.

A Range of Controls

Chase Bliss Audio offer plenty of tone shaping options, including the innovative ModuShape. ModuShape offers full control over the shape and midpoint of modulation wave, featuring a width and shift knob.

The Ramp control knob controls the amount of effect you want to achieve, and acts as a wet/dry mix knob for the unique flanging effect, and even adds a tube-like preamp character to the tone. It can also be set to control any of the 5 parameters individually or simultaneously via dip switches on the back of the pedal. Despite the pedal looking rather overwhelming at a first glance, it is actually extremely easy to operate. The zero control feature sets the manual delay time on the flange effect. Next to this control knob, we have the Regen knob which when turned completely clockwise increases the intensity of the flange effect, even to the point of selfoscillation & whale-like noises. This unique variety of tones will make your guitar tones stand out from the crowd.

Toggle Switches

As well as these control knobs, Spectre also features four toggle switches. The first toggle switch controls the tap division for the tap tempo, and its offers 1-2-4 or 3-6-8 configurations. Next to this is the ModuShape toggle switches that allow you to select from 2 sets of waveforms. Options include Sine, Triangle or Square waveforms to create some truly unique sounds. Finally, the last toggle switch which is located between the two stompswitches, delivers access tothe 2 presets.

Spectre is equipped with two sturdy stompswitches that allow you to switch between the tap preset and the bypass. Its solid metal housing ensures all the quality components are intact, and provides a durable pedal.

100% Analog

As with all Chase Bliss Audio pedals, the Spectre features an intelligent 'brain' that keeps the signal at 100% analog, therefore your original tone from your instrument is never digitally processed or compromised. Spectre is also MIDI compatible, enabling you more versatile ways to enjoy your music.
