When it comes to Hearth effects pedals, as with Hearth amplifiers, an all tube design is the path to warmth and richness of heart and sound.
All Hearth effects pedals use ONLY vacuum tube circuitry. Not just a tube buffer or tube signal path added to a solid state circuit. There are NO transistors, NO op amps and NO signal processors in Hearth pedals! The only silicon devices used are the rectifier diodes in the power supply.
The heart of Hearth pedals are unique compactron tubes ! Along with greater than 100v internal High Voltage power supplies. Ensuring tubes will not run cold and thin as with low voltage tube effects pedals. To maintain a low noise output Hearth pedals also contain a filtered DC heater supply.
All Hearth pedals include a true bypass foot switch.
The unique enclosures incorporate a two piece hinged cast brass claw foot switch button cover attached to a cast aluminium case. The quality construction includes Switchcraft jacks and Alpha pots and foot switches. Also included with each pedal is a 12vac external wall power adapter.
