Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone Compressor

www.ProGuitarShop.com - Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone
Fresh from NAMM 2009 in Nashville comes a new pedal from the folks at Pigtronix, the Philosopher's Tone. Described as a Compressor/Sustainer, the pedal is both of these things and more and in a size small enough to fit in the pocket of your guitars gig bag

The Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone has many sounds hiding within its compact metal chassis. Capable of an amazing, transparent compression sound, this new Pigtronix is the way to get that twang & spank you have been looking for. The polyphonic sustain effect creates a near infinite sustain when clean or fuzzed out. Sounds like the old Fernandes Sustainer except you dont have to play a Fernandes. It doesnt stop there though, the Philosopher's Tone is also capable of a very cool fuzz sustain tone mixed with the compressed clean tone when you dial up the grit knob. This is one of those pedals that just grows on you. The more you use it the more you see what it can do.

The knobs that control the Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone are Grit (adds harmonics for a fuzzy tone), Sustain (controls the level of Polyphonic Sustain from zero to infinite), Blend (Mixes the clean and effected signal), Treble (Adds brightness to the signal which allow you to cut through the mix) and Volume (Controls the overall signal to the amp). If you have been looking for a new sonic arrow to add to you quiver, the Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone might just do the trick.

@ponlm

A "philosopher's stone" is a mythical stone once sought by alchemists for use in the transmutation of base metals into gold - it was also thought to be the elixir of life. So, Harry Potter may or may not have had any influence in the naming of the pedal; rather, the books borrowed the idea of a philosopher's stone from history.

@ponlm I think it's only called the Philosopher's Stone in other parts of the world. In America it's the Sorcerer's Stone.

oh i get it- philosopher's tone = philosopher's stone from harry potter... which makes you live forever... whoever named this pedal was a nerd :D

@ProGuitarShopDemos Hey guys. I've tried to message the sight, and have placed a post here, but I'm wondering if you can tell me if this pedal is capable of true transparency, as it seems to always color the tone with a bit of grit to my ears, but without playing with it myself, it's hard to tell. I think both this and the regular version are fabulous pedals, but if I'm looking for a transparent clean tone, should I go with the regular version?

the song in the beginning is so nice and well known! what is the name of it?
