Exciter
Unleash your inner sonic alchemist with the Kingston Exciter, a rare and captivating multi-effect pedal from the experimental heyday of the late 1960s and early 70s. This Japanese-made marvel seamlessly blends traditional tone-shaping with avant-garde sound generation, creating a unique sonic palette that has captivated noise artists and collectors alike. At the heart of the Exciter lies a reverse-action wah circuit, which produces a distinctly vocal, growling character by sweeping from maximum bass to maximum treble as you move the treadle. But this is just the beginning of the Exciter's sonic sorcery. Engage the Surf or Hurricane modes, and you'll be enveloped in a dynamic, wave-like wash of filtered white noise that can be modulated with the treadle, blending raw, elemental textures with your core guitar tone. If that's not enough to pique your curiosity, the Exciter also features a dedicated Siren function – an oscillating sine-wave tone that rises and falls in pitch, evoking the haunting wail of vintage air raid sirens or the sweeping flourishes of classic synthesizers. This hybrid of traditional and unconventional sounds has cemented the Exciter's status as a cult classic among experimental musicians, who have harnessed its unique character in a wide range of genres, from psychedelic rock to avant-garde noise. Encased in a rugged metal housing and built to withstand the rigors of the stage, the Kingston Exciter is a testament to the spirit of innovation that defined the golden age of effects pedal design. Prepare to unlock a new frontier of sonic exploration with this one-of-a-kind marvel.
