Pigtronix Philosopher’s Tone MK1 – Used, No Box #3198 – Great Condition £65 Brighton / London

[Dons]

Selling Pigtronix Philosopher’s Tone compressor/sustainer pedal. 

 

I bought this, along with few other pedals, new, a little while back, directly from David Koltai (Pigtronix founder)  as part of a large endorsement deal. 

This pedal is great and I have two of these !  (Selling this one pictured. ) This comp can do quite a few things really really great:

- ‘always on” type of transparent pedal. That is how I used it ! Both on electric AND double bass. Expanding on dynamic range is crucial for me, but also have enough of an oomph when I need to whilst not loosing anything along the way,  without the ducking or digital clipping of transient .  

 

- ‘Squash’ - Ive used it on a hiphop production where this was really ideal. Getting all the lows and also thickness of the bass  with so much headroom ! ! 

 

- Space ! YES ! This is a really board friendly pedal and it has been strapped to my boards for as along as I know.

 

- Ive used it with my pbass and with a 5 Spitfire GB bass and double bass - absolutely outstanding on all fronts ! 

 

Plenty other features which I didn't use but I know some folks really digging: Is the grit and treble. For that top slap and some dirt etc ! !

 
- Optical Compressor / Sustainer – delivers extremely smooth, transparent sustain without squashing dynamics. - this will sustain for ever ! 
- Blend Control – lets you mix your dry signal with compressed tone, keeping natural attack while extending sustain.
- Low-Noise Circuitry – one of the quietest compressors in its class, even at high sustain settings.
- True Bypass Switching – preserves tone when the pedal is off.

 

I was sure I had the box for it ,,  but clearly I dont,, if I ‘ll find it before sale I’ll add it ofcourse. 

Most of the wear is where the pedal knobs meet the underneath of the pedal board foam. This pedal as stored below deck. 

Does not come with a lead (didn't on the original either) and I’ve fed it 18v via cioks.  ( it’ll take 12v-18v. I recommend 18V.. more is more ,, )

 

Price: £70 (Lowest, like for like, UK,  I could find)

Condition: Very Good

Collection: Brighton or London.  or can post within the UK (tracked and insured, at your expense.(will be heading upnorth 23/24/25/ August so can meet along M1/M6 or Meet along the way or outside Manchester or nearby cities.)
