I’m guessing you’ve seen the prices of some of the vintage effect

pedals on eBay these days? Certain pedals are literally going for
several thousand dollars - why? Well, because they sound AMAZING
and they have a myth and a legend attached to them - which of
course it helped all the more by a healthy amount of PCB goop and
them not being made like that anymore...

There have been many clones of the most popular, many that claim
to bring you the original parts used in the original way, recreating
something magical, even going so far as recreating outer paint color
to distinguish models. Here’s the thing, we ALL know that each of
these pedals were different, it had nothing to do with the paint or
any myseterious secret part change, it had everything to do with
what the designer felt worked best at that moment in time, for that
pedal. We decided that enough was enough, we got frustrated with
people charging hundreds of dollars for a copy that claimed to
contain the magic fairy unicorn dust NOS parts, and decided it was
time to put this to rest!

Brian took several of the original and designed the Tumnus to sound
like the best bits of all of them, make the ultimate tribute to that
circuit - and make it with modern high quality parts so each sounds
as amazing as the nextt! With the original Tumnus appearing only in
a mini format, people were shouting for a full sized version - So,
Brian being brian, decided he wouldn’t just put it in a bigger box, he
wanted more gain, he wanted the option of true bypass or buffered
and, of course, a full 3 band EQ. The Tumnus Deluxe was born...

Whether you want to use this pedal as an OD or a boost, you can be


sure that all of the low end is present, and beautifully warm, the mid
hump is placed perfectly and the gain itself is to on point you will
finally understand what all the hype has been all about. With that as
your foundation, you can now have THAT tone, but with total con-
trol... sounds like heaven in a box!
In order to get the best out of your new pedal, we recommend you spend some time getting
