Compression/Sustain
Serpens
Noodles
The Noodles by Ground Control Audio is a 3-band active EQ/boost pedal designed to provide versatile tone shaping capabilities. It features separate bass, mids, and treble channels, each with its own gain control and a choice of 3 carefully selected frequencies that the user can cycle through using a push button. The bass modes include 40Hz, 100Hz, and 280Hz, the mids modes include 400Hz - 2.8KHz, 800Hz - 2KHz, and 1KHz - 1.5KHz, and the treble modes include 2.8KHz, 4KHz, and 6KHz. The pedal incorporates the same pre-amp technology found in Ground Control Audio's Amaterasu bright pre-amp and Tsukuyomi midrange boosters. Additionally, it utilizes a digitally-controlled solid-state analog signal routing system built around the ARM Cortex-M microcontroller platform. The Noodles is designed to offer 64 different instant tone flex combinations, providing users with a wide range of tonal options for their musical applications. It is important to note that the pedal should only be powered with a center-negative 9VDC power supply to avoid damaging the circuitry and voiding the warranty.
Overdrive and Boost
Amaterasu
The Amaterasu by Ground Control Audio is a bright pre-amp designed to provide a unity to 26dB amplifier circuit for players seeking an extra push. It is highly responsive to the player's style and can be used to enhance quieter guitar pickups or to further boost a favorite overdrive. The pedal features a flick switch for two mode settings: bright mode, which allows higher frequency content for a clearer tone, and a second mode setting that colors the signal for a darker feel. The technical specifications for the Amaterasu are as follows: \- Unity to 26dB amplifier circuit \- Responsive to play style \- Bright mode setting for higher frequency content \- Two mode settings for tone enhancement \- Standard 9V DC center-negative power supply (no battery support) \- Isolated power supply recommended for best performance \- Dimensions: 123 x 71 x 59mm The Amaterasu is a true bypass pedal and is powered by a 9-volt mains supply only (not included). It is designed to provide a significant boost to the signal while offering tonal flexibility through the bright mode and second mode settings.
Serpens
Tsukuyomi
The Tsukuyomi by Ground Control Audio is a midrange booster pedal designed to enhance the tonal characteristics of musical instruments. It features a 26dB gain section in series with an optional 12dB of mids gain in the 880Hz-1KHz band. The pedal is intended to provide a tone with increased presence and depth, particularly for instruments that may sound flat or lack life. The Tsukuyomi is powered by a 9-volt mains supply and is equipped with true bypass functionality. The pedal's dimensions are 123 x 71 x 59mm. The Tsukuyomi is best used with single coils and trebly amp setups to add a velvety fullness to the tone while also providing a crunchy sweetness to humbuckers. This pedal is suitable for guitarists looking to achieve a versatile clean and mid boost effect.

Blood Oath
The Blood Oath by Ground Control Audio is a low to mid-gain overdrive pedal designed to provide a flexible tone control, allowing users to adjust the amount of low and high frequencies to help their amp stand out in the mix. It features an independent pre-gain stage, essentially allowing for two overdrive modes, and can act as a subtle clean boost as well as a full-blown rock machine. The pedal is available in both silicon and germanium flavors, with the silicon version providing a more aggressive and compressed tone, while the germanium version offers a more open and smooth sound. The pedal uses a standard 9V DC center-negative power supply and does not support battery operation. It is recommended to use an isolated power supply for optimal performance. The version 2.1 of the pedal features a bi-color LED to indicate whether the pre-gain stage is engaged.
