Product Description
Pigtronix is the rising star of a second generation of American boutique pedal makers that are redefining the stompbox for today’s musicians. Striving to push the dialog of musical effects forward, Pigtronix recognizes the value and relevance of classic vintage sounds as we focus on taking tone a step further. Based in Long Island, NY; Pigtronix is one of the fastest growing companies in the MI industry, with self contained design, manufacturing and distribution all under one roof. Our consistent growth is evident in the ever increasing number of Pigtronix products in the rigs of session musicians, touring professionals such as Aerosmith, Snarky Puppy, Anthrax, Slayer and weekend warriors around the world.
Like the musicians who use them, each Pigtronix pedal has a unique personality. A number of design accomplishments have led to multiple Guitar Player Editor’s Pick awards as well as endorsements from legendary bands and musicians such as Andy Summers of The Police (Philosopher’s Tone), Los Lobos (Aria), The Mars Volta (PolySaturator), Buddy Miller (Echolution), Bootsy Collins (Envelope Phaser), Tony Levin (Disnortion), Primus (Keymaster), The Roots (Tremvelope) and many more. A consistent emphasis on tonal clarity and touch responsiveness combined with tour grade build quality, limitless versatility and unequaled value make Pigtronix pedals an attractive option for players of all styles.
Pigtronix provides musicians with a high end, USA made effects option that takes their music in new, creative directions. Forward thinking design concepts, attractive artwork and informative packaging are all geared towards the growing market of sophisticated consumers who want to get significant mileage out of their pedal purchase. Pigtronix has a reputation for accessibility and top notch customer service, aiding musicians everyday in their quest for unique sounds and sonic stimulation.
The Pigtronix Philosopher’s Tone is a state-of-the-art analog compressor / sustainer, providing endless clean sustain. With variable Sustain, Blend and Treble controls, the Philosopher’s Tone offers a huge range of compression sounds for the discerning musician. The Philosopher’s Tone also contains a harmonic distortion for clean or dirty compression sounds and any mixture of the two. While the Philosopher’s Tone rocks on its own, it is designed to play well with other dirt pedals in order to create your ultimate distortion tone that sustains forever.
Pigtronix Philosopher’s Tone is unlike the common compressor. This pedal has more sustain and less noise. The dynamic range, touch sensitivity, overall transparency and outright sustain of the Philosopher’s Tone is un-paralleled in the crowded world of compressor pedals.
Practitioners of the mystical and ancient art of alchemy long sought an element called the Philosopher’s Stone, believing that, if found, it could turn lead into gold and bestow immortality upon the man who wielded it. For such a tiny pedal to create so much sustain, this device represents a musical equivalent to this mythical substance in the world of guitar pedals.
