The Reaper - Germanium Boost
The Reaper by Old North State Sounds is a captivating germanium boost pedal that breathes new life into your guitar, bass, or keyboard tone. Powered by a single NOS Russian germanium transistor, this pedal offers a unique and organic boost that can take your sound from pristine to pleasantly gritty. As you turn up the Reaper's knob, you'll experience a smooth, linear boost that can push your signal up to 3/4 of the way. But that's when the real magic happens - the pedal starts to impart a subtle, velcro-like fuzz, reminiscent of the glorious onset of tube amplifier breakup. It's a touch of vintage character that can add incredible dimension and texture to your tone. But the Reaper's versatility doesn't stop there. Dial the knob back below unity gain, and you can use it as a clever volume drop for dynamic song sections. The pedal's thoughtful design allows you to seamlessly integrate it into your signal chain, whether you're using it to drive another overdrive or to thicken up your already distorted sound. Each Reaper is handbuilt in Pittsburgh, PA, with premium components and meticulous attention to detail. The candy orange finish and blue LED add a touch of style, while the durable aluminum chassis ensures your pedal will withstand the rigors of the stage. If you're seeking a germanium boost that can unlock new sonic territories, the Reaper is a must-try addition to your pedalboard.
