Overview

A variation on the original Philosopher’s Tone with an added layer of germanium-enhanced distortion.

The Pigtronix Philosopher’s Gold compression effects pedal is a variation on the original Philosopher's Tone, featuring the same optical sustain engine with the addition of a layer of germanium-enhanced distortion. The unique diode arrangement found in the Philosopher's Gold delivers a smooth top end and rich midrange response, tailored to match the characteristics of the optical sustainer driving it. The clean side of the Philosopher’s Tone remains the same—dial in your Blend and Volume to get your desired signal, and Sustain for compression. What defines Germanium Gold is the Grit control. More than a simple gain knob, Grit acts a blend for the supreme germanium-enhanced distortion folded into the unit.

Features

  • Same optical sustain engine as the Philosopher’s Tone with an added layer of germanium-enhanced distortion
  • Unique diode arrangement for smooth top end and rich midrange
  • Blend and Volume for optimum signal and Sustain for compression
  • Grit to blend the added distortion
