Tars

Description

The TARS is a concept pedal combining the guitar and synth worlds this time not throwing you into a black hole. It rockets through the Ergosphere and Horizon to disintegrate directly in its center, the Singularity.

Derived from the flagship Black Hole Symmetry, the TARS is inspired by its Singularity fuzz section and adds a gain setting allowing it to go from grainy low-gain sounds to round and powerful fuzz/distortion tones.

It also offers a filter inspired by the legendary Korg MS-20 in order to create fuzzy-noisy textures and cut through the mix. The filter is controlled via 2 faders for a unique tweaking experience by hand as well as with the expression input to sweep through the frequency range of your vertiginous dive into the Singularity!

Controls

– Master: Master volume.
– CutOff: Cutoff frequency of the MS-20 style low-pass filter, from 15Hz to 44kHz.
– Res(onance): Intensity of signal at cutoff frequency.
