Sometimes, inspiration comes from within.

It’s not often that your own gear inspires something entirely different, but that is precisely what happened with our new analog tape-style unit, La Brea.

The all-analog La Brea distortion pedal employs multi-stage tape saturation techniques to create distorted tones ranging from subtle saturation to full-blown fuzz. It also features high-frequency filtering and a fully variable dry output that always remains in phase with the original signal.

Features

An all-analog tape saturation pedal, inspired by the saturation sounds of our classic Deco pedal.

Fully analog design: there is nothing digital in the signal path.

Use the gain switch to adjust the range of the tape saturation control.

Toggle the switch to engage either a specific high-frequency boost or a high-frequency boost with added midrange, providing greater richness and clarity.

A variable clean/dry signal path that remains in phase with the pedal’s saturated audio, adding clarity and body even at high saturation levels.

Operates internally at 24V to provide ample headroom, a wide gain range, and low-noise performance.
