Dying Sun FX Seraph (Intro Pricing)

Offering introductory pricing through July 1st.

The Seraph is the germanium cousin to the Citadel. Where the latter is driven by a silicon transistor, the Seraph uses a NOS germanium transistor in its place (usually of the US-made 2Nx family). Otherwise, the structure of the circuit is nearly identical.

The resulting tonal difference, however, is audibly significant. The Seraph is smoother, squishier, warmer, and somewhat more vintage in character. It sounds like germanium, basically. Nothing else sounds like that.

Individual transistors are carefully tested for gain and leakage using an Atlas DCA meter, and then by ear for noise. Those that don't make the cut are discarded. As a result, the Seraph is considerably less noisy than many other germanium overdrive pedals on the market today.

The control layout and functions are identical to the Citadel, with the exception of the toggle switch for the clipping diodes. The Seraph only has two settings: NOS asymmetric germanium and bypass (no clipping diodes). When clipping is bypassed, the Seraph behaves more like a high-gain germanium boost that beautifully melts when paired with a dirty amp.
