Snazzy FX Tracer City guitar pedal

Snazzy FX Tracer City guitar pedal

If you are a DJ, producer, sound designer, keyboard player, bassist, or a guitarist in a band; if you are looking for one piece of original analog hardware to transform your creative setup - the TRACER CITY is the box.

SNAZZY FX designed the TRACER CITY to provide a whole range of new textures, from envelope follower effects to filtered tremolo, from aggressive filter sweeps and subtle coloration, all the way on through completely bizarre tones which have little to do with the incoming signal. This box is made to suit your musical personality with enormous room to grow.

Featuring a true analog multi-mode resonant filter and powered by Synth level power rails, the TRACER CITY is perfect for tweaking drum loops or live drums, synths, bass, field recordings, or anything else you feel like putting through it.

TRACER CITY has the ability to handle line or guitar levels and enough gain to drive the signal into smooth overdrive. With control of cutoff, resonance, linear or Exponential modulation, this is a box you can get great sounds with - even if you have never used an analog synth before. There are two, yes two, modulation sources; an envelope follower with up and down modes, and two external CV or Audio (FM) inputs, each with their own Depth and Expo/Lin switches.

There is very little that the TRACER CITY can't do, be it beautiful, weird or wild, you will always have truly unique sounds. This is a hands on device offering a wealth of possibilities with enormous potential for sound shaping.

You can plug in a drum loop, set the filter, start turning up the modulation, and if you really want to have some fun, you can plug in two more sources! One could be a CV source from your modular or analog synth, and one could be another drum loop or guitar part. The CV source will modulate the signal just like the built in modulation sources, and the external audio will cause Frequency Modulation of the signal.

The TRACER CITY features +/- 15 volt rails (similar to the rails found in analog synthesizers) powered by a standard barrel connector 9 volt DC adapter. This means greater head-room, which translates into a better tone. And like all SNAZZY FX products, it features True Bypass and a Seriously Heavy Duty Box with SNAZZY Graphics that will not only stand the test of time, but will turn heads wherever you take them.

This sounds awesome. I really want to process my soon-to-be-purchased Slim Phatty through this! :D

[boringmachine]

one of the best demo! especially the last clip

[francescotaranto90]

@mariahkoko Totally agree. This pedal sound cool, funky, spacey and totally inspiring. But there's just no way you're gonna find that one perfect setting that you're gonna wanna have and need for live purposes. I've also found that in a band situation, nothing beats a couple of nice delays, chorus, phaser and so on: Simple, traditional effects just work! And off course it's cool to have some toys with you. Just bought a Mothership and I'm loving it, it's out there but still relatively simple!

Great! :)

That last music sample sounds a lot like Zero 7 doing "Destiny"

@francescotaranto90 i learnt this the hard way :) that's why i'm now focused on more simple effects - because in a band, that's what you need

that Tracer City sounds AWESOME!

@francescotaranto90 Heh, the ring thing will be on the floor, but the hoax will be in the box when not in use, and never on the floor at all.

It's joining my obscure rack gear in assisting experimental soundscapes. searching 'warm ilters' on archive org should bring up two albums I worked on... big mess of noisy weirdness.

@TheGzeus My man... You sure as hell have got good taste in pedals! Maybe this will help cure you're craving: Pedals like this have so much tricks in 'em you're never gonna be able to use them all! This is a studio-kinda-effects, not something I would want on my board. Enjoy your EHX pedals!!!

This makes me wish I was rich...

I cannot justify the cost... but oooooh how I wish I could.

The Flanger Hoax and Ring Thing are already going to doom me...
