REEL DEAL STUDIO
Description
STEREO PREAMP/DISTORTION/VIBRATO/PHASER
A stereo pedal version of the preamp section from a vintage Revox reel-to-reel tape recorder, with our Model 33 Smooth vibrato built in to get some seriously wobbly tape sounds.
Due to the popularity of the Reel Dealuxe as an "always on" sound for many Templo users, it became clear it was necessary to offer a stereo version aimed squarely at those using its unique sound for recording purposes.
So I put two Reel Dealuxes in the same box, got rid of the footswitches and added a few funky extras, including the two new switches, one of which reverses one of the vibrato's sweep direction and the other links both vibratos together to get some interesting unstable pulsing and lurching.
The PHASE switches add dry signal to the vibrato to get a phasing effect for more "swoosh" than "wobble"
Additionally, there is an "overload" light that responds to the signal, and gets brighter the more distortion is introduced.
This circuit is really special and adds a lot of color and fullness. It sounds great with guitar, bass and vocals, lending a warm vintage texture to anything that passes through it.
The Reel Deal has tons of volume on tap, and can drive tube amps into beautiful feedback. Capable of dirty fuzz, distortion, and sparkly clean. just don't expect it to sound like anything else you're used to.
Plug in a single mono input in either channel and it will be duplicated to the other channel.
You may also use a single TRS cable in either output to get stereo output from a single cable, or use separate TS cables for dual mono out.
Includes poster/instruction sheet.
