HOME	BACK TO EFFECTS

Built in the tradition of the Frantone HepCat with more drive and true blue tone control! The extra broad tone contour gives you more choices than most overdrives. Go from clean and loud, to edgy and smooth, to cranked amp punch with full rich bite. Get the best tone by making your great amp sound even better with this unique design, delivering Frantone's signature sound. Extremely quiet yet unbearably loud, this is an original concept in amplification. The big blue sound is made even more pleasing by our custom made blue Bakelite knobs and cobalt blue LED! price $235	Back by popular demand and better than ever. This 3-knob Peachfuzz fuzztone has all the great classic sound with 50% more gain, super quiet circuitry, and rockin' tone control. Truly the finest in lead-guitar tone, and a must for all serious players. Looking for a screaming cranked-to-ten amp-in-a-box, smooth singing fuzztone, and overdrive distortion all in one? Well, this is for you! price $225
At last... a true fuzztone for bass! This transistorized beauty actually boosts the bottom and gives you awesome sustain with rich creamy fuzztone. Wonderful overtones and plenty of thump to boot. Forget the rest- this is the last fuzz you will need for your bass! Comes in '72 refrigerator beige with our fire engine red custom bakelite knobs and red LED. price $225	Brother to the legendary Frantone pedal The Sweet, this germanium transistorized bass monster kicks out an impenetrable wall of low end that will devastate all those present. The Bassweet has all of the endless sustain, compression, and tone you would find in The Sweet with a wildly expanded bass contour. price $235
Hey guys, are you man enough to play a woman's pedal? Grrls, don't be fooled... this rich and creamy piece of ear candy can take the paint off your house! The high gain, drive, and full fat harmonics make this one the ultimate rhythm pedal. A unique tone contour gives this fuzz a puffy, fluffy, broad, thick sound. The deceptively edible motif uses our custom White Bakelite knobs and is topped off by a stunning White LED! price $225	The Glacier is an effect unlike any other. It is small, quiet, and easy to use. A ring modulator with selectable carrier, the Glacier will absolutely spellbind you with its amazing tonal range and high fidelity. The Y SELECT switch lets you choose between one of the three waveforms generated by its internal oscillator, or an external signal source of mic or line level. The TUNE control adjusts the wide frequency range of the internal oscillator for the maximum amount of effect from steely highs to low vibrato. The Y IN gives you the ability to combine any two signals and create an unlimited number of sounds from triggered drum effects to vocally controlled guitar. The MIX control lets you blend in as much clean signal to the effect as you want. price $385
If you have only heard about those rare and highly prized Hep Cat overdrives, known for their transparent tone and bright grind, then here is your chance to actually own one! Packing all the punch and glimmering tinsle that made those metal-flecked Hep Cat Daddy-O single coil twang players smile more than a decade ago, this new Hep Cat overdrive has all you need. price $225	Over the top in every way using the classic tone of germanium transistors. This is the longest sustaining and smoothest sounding all-transistor fuzztone you will ever own. I have designed many fuzztones, including the 2000 New York City Big Muff for Electro-Harmonix, so believe me when I say that this is the most extreme one I have ever made. It's tone is indescribable. The full bottom and crisp highs will astound you, and the endless sustain will make you cry like a baby. price $235
At last, a vibrato for all seasons! The Frantone Vibutron is the only vibrato you will ever need. All of the warm, soothing tone you'd expect from a great vintage amp vibrato with the added versatility of selectable waveform. The Vibutron will not drop your level like other vibrato effects. The Depth control allows you to dial in as much as you like, from the slightest hint of mellow sine wave smoothness to fully gated square wave effects. The wide Speed range makes this a powerful tool for the serious musician. price $285	This one is truly worth its weight in gold. The Ingot has quiet true bypass switching action so you know it sounds good by not sounding like anything at all. The Ingot runs for a long time on a 9V battery, or it can be powered by most 9VDC pedal supplies. Comes in space age hammered look gold lacquer finish with amber status LED. price $135
Don't reach for the Pepto just yet - you might want to sink your teeth right into the Sandwich's spicy 12:1 compression, but this sexy little dish serves up everything on the menu. Take a taste of its light and savory settings, from just a hint of minty limiting for that refreshing crisp tone, or crank it up for deep fried five alarm sustain. price $255	The Sputnik 5:1 ratio analog optical compressor kicks butt. Junior cousin to the Sandwich, its détente of simplicity and performance is as clear as its fidelity, so you can rest easy knowing you will not be running into a well guarded wall of noise on the way. Designed for every player with soft knee limiting and transparent tone. Just set the Squeeze control for the amount of compression and you're done! The output is hot enough to be used as an overdrive, yet clear and smooth as Russian Vodka. price $250
