TARS DLX is a dual fuzz with 2 analog filters inspired by the MS-20.
Probably the only pedal with 4 poles - resonant - Low Pass and High Pass Filters.
It is a stage & studio tool to shape your sound with high precision or an experimental device for loud noise makers.
It is an evolved version of TARS, a robot looking for life in space too. (and a pedal we released a year ago).
We have built only 100 units of the first batch.
Notes from the designers :
We took TARS and we pushed it forward.
The Fuzz circuit has been reworked to be opened in high end - so that it can now sound amazing as a low gain fuzz/distortion. The creamy one we all like in those post-hardcore riffs. It is also more aggressive when Gain is maxed out.
+ we worked another fuzz (BLAST) which feedbacks a part of the circuit to give this "burning" feeling for HUGE and abrasive sounds.
The frequency response from both filters has been improved to better work on very low end sources with subby bass sounds.
TARS DLX can be used as clean blend on bass or in insert of a track mix.
The "ADD FUZZ" configuration which is found nowhere else is better than ever with the addition of the high pass after the low pass. It adds a filtered fuzz to the fuzz signal so that the filters can be used as EQ shape / phasing effects. This is amazing.
Of course, Fuzz and filters can be used separately in parallel or in serial. This truly is a beast of a dirt and filtering pedal.
