Solid Gold FX

Notes: The BETA-V from SolidGoldFX is a Bass Preamp pedal that kicks! This latest incarnation of SGFX's top selling Beta Series is designed to capture the warmth and grit of favorite vintage tube amps. You know, that distinctive drive and tone that seems to be lacking from much of today's modern bass amplification.

Yes, we all know the convenience of a lightweight "sub 10 lbs" bass head that pumps out 500 watts and a neo cab that doesn't require a roadie crew or chiropractor is great, but there is something extremely satisfying in the way that big, old Ampeg-style tube setups compress, clip and round out your signal. However, with the BETA-V you can finally have the best of both worlds - bone-shaking mojo-packed dirt, all wrapped up in modern and easy to use convenience.

Solid Gold FX's classic Beta bass architecture has been reworked and expanded, delivering a wider range of tones. The low-pass filter now has 2 settings for bumped or scooped-mids as well as a centre bypass setting for a more transparent experience. Plus, the Drive control has been reworked for lower gain applications or hotter basses.

Most importantly, the BETA-V sports an active 2-band post gain EQ allowing you to boost or cut your highs and lows with a flat response in the centre. Dialling in anything from punchy overdriven Lemmy tones to the fattest, deepest soul shaking dub is only a few knob twists away. Complete with top-mounted jacks, soft touch true bypass switching and 9-18 V DC operations, the BETA-V is a true thump machine, ready to rock your world.

Notes: SolidGoldFX EM-III- Compact Delay Powerhouse

Welcome to the new SolidGoldFX EM-III Multi-Head Octave Echo; the smallest, most powerful and by far the most versatile SolidGoldFX delay pedal to date.

Building on SGFX's Electroman Delay legacy, the EM-III manages to both echo the past, present and future. With EM-III's wide-ranging yet ultra-intuitive control set, warm analogue-voiced echoes, precise and modern delay, as well as experimental and futuristic sound designs, are all just a single stomp away.

At your feet (or fingers) you have a multi-head tape style echo, with the ability to add in a signal an octave lower to the primary delay head. This can result in dancing, rhythmic delays with body and gravitas, as well as bold washy soundscapes. These two core features are controlled via a single mini-toggle. Flick it left to select between 1, 2 or 3 delay heads or flick it right to toggle the octave effect on and off. From there, just set your Delay Level, Repeats and Time via the knobs or tap in your preferred tempo via the soft-click tap tempo switch and let the good echo times roll.

The EM-III also sports delay modulation introduced via the Flutter control. Keep it at centre position for no modulation. Dial it left for a slow and dreamy chorus-like modulation or right for a faster vibrato, letting you create lush oceanic movement, tape-style crinkles, eerie tension and beautiful dissonance.

The colour knob allows you to engage both high-pass and low-pass filtering. Dead-centre you have a pristine full-frequency digital delay.

Dial it to the left and you cut the highs, creating warm, murky analogue-esque repeats. Dial it to the right and you suck out the lows for crisp and bright tape-style repeats or super thin lo-fi delays.

EM-III also brings interactive warp and glitch features to the tonal table by pressing and holding either Tap, Bypass or both at the same time. Hold Tap to increase the repeats until self-oscillation, creating a swelling wall of sound. Hold Bypass to replicate the sound of a tape motor on the fritz and a tape reel snapping, or hold both for glorious noise seances that will act as the perfect song/set closer.

Additional features include soft-touch, relay based, true bypass switching with the option of buffered trails, top jacks and up to a full second of delay time.

Designed to inspire and evoke emotion, EM-III can sound as pretty and cheerful or as dark and macabre as you wish.

Tune up, plug in and immerse yourself in the EM-III experience.

Notes: Designed for some serious stank, The Supa Funk is an old-school, dual-band envelope filter, but with some totally modern twists! Featuring a responsive and articulate attack generator plus an expanded control set, it also features the new Color knob that blends in a second low-pass filter to help you to go from a classic bom-chicka-wow-wow funk, all the way to rich, throaty and vocal filter sweeps. So, plug in and mash that stomp switch if you're ready to get down and boogie... you supply the groove and this little box will bring the funk!

Solid Gold FX have already cut their tone teeth on former filter devices, the Funkzilla and Funk-lite. Supa Funk is the distillation of everything Solid Gold FX have learned from previous filter fests, helping to bring you a pedal that perfectly captures the groovy tones of the past, while filtering out all of yesteryears shortcomings. Hence you get superb dynamic and smooth filter tones, that perfectly follow and embellish every single nuance of your playing. While the blendable second low-pass filter enables you to create filter tones so rich that they will make Jeff Bezos weep.

Housed in a compact and intuitive package, the pedal's 5 knobs and a single toggle lets you determine if you're slinging out subtle low-pass sweeps or shooting sonic lasers. Depth adjusts the width or peak of the envelope effect, letting you go from shallow waves to super sweeps in seconds flat. Freq sets the centre frequency of the filter, where counter-clockwise lets you hone in on those beefy and dubby tones, while clockwise will give you brighter tones that really cut.

Attack adjusts both decay time and sensitivity. Going clockwise allows the envelope to trigger with ease and keeps it open for longer, while counter-clockwise lets you tame the trigger sensitivity and keep the filter decay shorter and snappier. Turning Attack fully counter-clockwise turns off the envelope, to allow you to dial in fixed filter tones with the Frequency knob - great for creating filtered lo-fi tones or classic cocked-wah sounds.

Color blends in the second low-pass filter. Going counter-clockwise will give you brighter and sharper filter tones, while turning that bad boy clockwise will bring out all the chewy growl and girth you could ever want. Finally, the Level pot lets you determine how loud you want the funk, while the Direction toggle lets you get classic forward sweeping filter tones to the left, and shooting futuristic filter rockets to the right.

To complete its all analogue funk-a-riffic tonal pallet, the Supa Funk is housed in a beautiful 70's retro themed enclosure with top mounted jacks and soft touch true-bypass switching and is built entirely by a passionate team of gearheads in SolidGoldFX's Montreal shop.
