Gurus Sinusoid Vibrato/Reverb 2016 - BlackDescription (from the website):Inspired by Early 60s American AmpsAfter tackling the British music scene with the 59 Doubledeck, Gurus Amps looked at the old reverb and tremolo effects on American amps and created the Sinusoid to recreate the classic sounds. As the first 100 analogue, tube driven reverb and vibrato pedal on the market, the Sinusoid was created after extensive research and development to produce the real optical tremolo and analogue reverb of old. Its full frequency range makes the pedal suitable for all applications and any instrument, letting players experiment with the music to create incredibly unique soundscapes.Two Independent Effects: Reverb & VibratoThe Sinusoid features 2 independent effects to choose from, with the option to use them separately or combined. A tube amp is used to drive the reverb and tremolo circuits, producing a truly vintage sound with the classic warm characteristics of old amp effects. To achieve the truly 100 analogue reverb circuit, Gurus Amps teamed up with Accutronics to create a double spring bank to perfectly reproduce the same tone, feel, and response of vintage spring reverb tanks. The optical tremolo was achieved by combining a unique sinusoidal wave with Gurus’ propriety technology.Gurus Amp’s Note on Powering the SinusoidThe Sinusoid drains around 230mA on 9VDC and 300mA on 12VDC, However, having an internal power output section (1,2W amp) that drives the reverb tank the draining depends by input signal, so it may need up to 400mA on 12VDC. Be sure to use a standard Negative TIP Power Supply with enough current for optimum performance.FeaturesInspired by American amps of the early 60sTwo independent effects which can be used separately or togetherTube driven analogue reverb perfectly reproduces the tone, feel, and response of vintage spring reverb tanksTube driven optical tremolo perfectly matches the character of vintage vibrato channelsRemote outs for connecting analogue switches to control the pedal without going near itFull frequency response makes it suitable for all applications and any instrumentPowered by 9/12VDC Max (Sold Separately)SpecificationsGeneralControls: Intensity, Speed, Reverb, VolumeTube Type: 12AU7 (Shuguang)Signal to Noise: 110dB TypicalFrequency Response: 20Hz to 20000HzReverb Tank Amplifier: SS 1,2W RMSReverb FX Mix (Parallel Connection): Max. 50Vibrato Circuit: Full Sino Opto-Resistor EquippedVibrato Intensity: 0 to -10dBVibrato Speed: 116 to 384bpmBypass Switching: Double In/Out BuffersPower RequirementsPower Supply: 9-12VDC (Plug 5.5 x 2.1mm)Power 9VDC (Negative Tip): 300 mA MaxPower 12VDC (Negative Tip): 400 mA MaxMax Consumption: 410 mAConnectionsConnectors: 1/4" Jack In/OutInput Impedance: Less Than 1M OhmInput Level: 1.5 Vpp MaxOutput Impedance: Less Than 100K OhmRemote Switching: ON-ON Mom.
