The Collision Devices TARS - AKA 'This Audio Reached Singularity' - takes the Singularity fuzz section of the Black Hole Symmetry and teams it up with an MS-20-style filter to build formidable, fuzzy walls of sound. This hulk of a stompbox supplies a mass of output customising controls: tweak the Gain and Master pots to set the distortion level and effect volume and, if you do happen to need even more fuzz, just hit the Add Fuzz switch.The Collision Devices TARS: Defy the Laws of FuzzVia the Res and Cut-off faders, your self-made fuzz tapestry can be shaped and mixed to taste while extra controls for adding colour to the output are provided by an LPF mini-pot, which sets the filter volume, and the 2P/4P mini-switch, which can be flipped to weaken the signal by -12 or -24 decibels as needed. The S/P switch on the left toggles the position of the filter and fuzz from parallel to series where, in series, the fuzz is sent through the filter and, by hooking up an external expression pedal, you can even gain full hands-off, real-time control over the Cut-Off. This Collision Devices fuzz-bomb can be coupled with an electric guitar, a bass, a synthesizer, or maybe even a drum machine.

One of the biggest names in guitar effects since the beginning, Strymon unveil a seriously overdue, brilliant emulator of the classic UniVibe effect: the UltraViolet Vintage Vibe. This easy-to-steer vibe pedal comes with a Blend pot for mashing up chorus and vibrato with the dry signal, plus a Bias pot for pushing the effect way beyond traditional vibe circuits by freely emphasising low, mid or high frequencies. From the bias, speed and LFO waveshape parameters to the response of the light-dependent resistors that determine the middle frequencies of the staggered phasing filters, everything's focussed on a fully realistic response backed up by maximum dynamics. JFET Preamp & Stereo MIDI via TRS Jack or USB-C Thanks to the fitted stereo input and output in dual-mono array, the UltraViolet Vintage Vibe can be placed anywhere in the signal chain without sacrificing the stereo image. This Strymon pedal also offers full MIDI support and comes with 300 preset slots, TRS-MIDI ports and a USB-C port for smooth MIDI control from a laptop. What's more, you're even free to plug in an expression pedal and run things from there. Finished with a class A JFET stereo-input-preamp, the Strymon UltraViolet Vintage Vibe guarantees an ultra-dynamic response and has been built like a tank so you can put it to intense use.
