Reuss Repeater

Sold out.

SOLD OUT - We'll be making a new batch later in 2024. First, we are launching the Repeater Fuzz Mk IV, which includes an identical Repeater circuit, including the MIX control. The Mk IV will be released in late spring 2024.

Reuss Repeater

This is a stand-alone version of the Repeater effect of the best-selling Reuss Repeater Fuzz Mk III pedal, with an added "MIX" control.

Like the Repeater Fuzz, this is an extremely true-to-vintage 1960s Vox Repeat Percussion circuit, built with all the correct old 'tin can' transistors, but we have added a mixer circuit, which allows you to blend in your clean signal with the heavily chopped  tremolo. This opens the pedal up to completely new effects, from the psychedelic 'strobe light' stutter of the original to a subtle shimmer.

Put in other words, we achived a depth control simply by mixing the effect circuit with clean sound - Instead of attempting to mess with the original circuit to try to adjust the amplitude of the pulses.

The original Repeat Percussion effect didn't have a level control, and could barely keep unity level. In the Reuss Repeater, we have fixed this by adding a powerful recovery gain stage at the output of the original circuit. With the MIX control all the way up (only clean sound, no effect), it turns the Repeater into a great sounding clean boost pedal, even.

The Repeater is completely handmande in the Euroean Union in tiny batches (like all Reuss pedals).

Here's David Pajo (yes, that guy from Slint etc!) demonstrating his Repeater pedal - and Tone module:

 

Very casual demo, demonstrating the 'MIX' control. It's an outtake from my friend Fzat's Plasmatron pedal demo session
