EA Spectravibe

This is on Endangered Audio's Instagram feed. I'm on my tablet, so I can't share a photo. It appears to be a modulation combo box with some wah-like filtering.

That is their new version of the gristleizer with just one of the two modes and no association with the band I believe.

I wonder if they'll want ridiculous money for it too.

10/10.

Sidenote, thanks to jrmy I'll be able to do a shootout between the EAR gristlelizer circuit and the MusicPCB one sometime next week.

I think the EA guy explained that in the EA Delay Thread.

$235 preorder, ships in October. Intriguing.

[D.o.S.]

This pre-order is deeply discounted from the final price of the pedal. Another pre-order will commence when this limited run is sold out, but it will not be as deeply discounted

$235

Also:

The Spectravibe runs off a normal 9-volt DC pedal adapter, but the circuitry inside boosts the voltage to +/- 9 DC for a total 18 volts.

So it's a charge pump, right?... Like the original.

It has both modes, VCA/VCF, labeled Trem and Vibe.

Two expression pedal inputs as well! I'm trying to talk Todd into a Bias expression input for 3 possible inputs...we'll see.

"So it's a charge pump, right?... Like the original."

We have a specially designed charge pump that does not produce any audible whine - Todd just finalized the design this week. The original design actually uses an 18V input.

D.o.S. - please do a video of your shootout! Especially compare the VCF modes together. Our Gristleizer/Spectravibe has its own custom filter that is different from the original. Send it to me at mark@endangeredaudioresearch.com and I'll post it on our FB

[D.o.S.]

Sounds good.

Just a warning, though -- the EAR build (which was DIY from your kit but not from y'all) has "significant LFO bleed" right now (which won't matter since I don't plan on using the dry signal), and I probably won't be running guitars through it.

Interested to try the Spectravibe once they start getting into production. The Gristle is more or less my favorite circuit ever.

I know the guy said the old knobs were a pain in the ass to acquire, apparently via dickhead vendors, but... I miss em.

The new ones look p great though, will say.

[EndangeredAudioMark]

D.o.S. - ah, so this is an old kit? The older versions have the old filter in them - the new filter was made in version 3, so if it's a stompbox or an older tabletop, it won't have the same filter in it.

Popvulture - you'll love the new knobs we have cooking up - we're working on getting molds made and will be doing them all in-house. We have to actually custom-build some machines to do what we want with them, so that will take a second, but it will definitely be on the new delay

[D.o.S.]

Yeah, it's an older stomp model, I think. Would be more than happy to do a comprehensive shootout of the classic circuit with a more current one if you want to lend me one, of course.

Yasssss! Stoked

In general the vibe and trem seem to sound nice.
All guitar video's have the drive sound on, it sounds a bit too raspy and farty to me on guitar, it would be good to hear some sounds without the drive circuit.
The resonance on the filter seems to be a bit high and/or the q factor too shallow, therefore the parked wah sounds and some of the vibe sounds (depending on where the bias control is set) have a nasty ringing quality to them which I don't really enjoy.

[Jwar]

Need better bass and guitar videos. Agree it seems farty and raspy from the clips.
