THUNDER BOX

The THUNDER BOX by Lastgasp Art Laboratories, also known as the Donsharizer, is an effect pedal designed to produce the "Donshari" sound. The term "Donshari" originates from Japanese slang, representing a combination of "don," signifying a low sound, and "shari," representing a high sound. The pedal selectively boosts only low and high frequencies, allowing for powerful enhancement of the sound without passing unwanted frequencies through the circuit. Key Features: \- Controls: The pedal features two main controls, "level" and "donshari." The "level" control manages the overall output level when the effect is engaged, while the "donshari" control adjusts the treble and bass boost, enabling users to achieve powerful sounds with a single control. \- Size and Weight: The dimensions of the THUNDER BOX are 70mm (L) x 115mm (W) x 55mm (H), with a weight of 280g. \- Jacks and Switches: It includes input and output jacks, as well as an on/off switch. \- Power Options: The pedal can be powered by a 006P battery or an AC adapter (DC9V "barrel" type tip negative). Use Cases: \- Electric Guitarists: Recommended for electric guitarists seeking to achieve the distinctive "Donshari" sound. \- Musicians and Noisicans: Suitable for musicians or noisicans using a contact microphone. The THUNDER BOX Donsharizer is designed to offer a straightforward approach to boosting treble and bass frequencies, avoiding the influence of complex equalizers found in other effect units. This makes it an ideal choice for musicians looking to achieve a specific sound without unwanted alterations.

88 Super Oscillo Fuzz

The Lastgasp Art Laboratories 88 Super Oscillo Fuzz is a fuzz distortion pedal with an internal oscillation system that offers a wide range of distortion possibilities. The pedal features six front panel switches that can be configured to generate various oscillations, which can then be distorted and fuzzed. The design motif for this pedal is based on Japanese WW2 "Zero" fighter planes, continuing the naming traditions and designs of Japanese planes from previous models. Specifications: \- Size: 70mm x 115mm x 55mm \- Weight: 280g \- Jacks: Input, Output, CV Pedal \- Switches: On/Off, 6 toggle switches \- Controls: Level, Adjust \- Power: 9V DC The pedal also features dedicated Level and Adjust controls, allowing users to control the overall output level and tone, distortion level, or pitch of the oscillator. Additionally, it includes a CV Pedal Input for "Adjust" alterations, which can be connected to a CV pedal for control voltage adjustments. The Lastgasp Art Laboratories 88 Super Oscillo Fuzz offers true bypass and can be powered by a 9V DC power source. The current draw is less than 100mA.

Sooper Fuzz

Octavella

The Octavella by Lastgasp Art Laboratories is an upper octave feedback fuzz pedal designed to produce a rich harmonic upper octave fuzz tone, often described as metallic. It offers the following features and specifications: Features: \- Level Control \- Tone Control \- Gain Control \- Feedback Control \- Bypass Footswitch Specifications: \- Dimensions (DxWxH): 70mm x 115mm x 55mm \- Weight: 280g \- Mono input and output \- Controls: Level, Tone, Gain, Feedback The pedal is characterized by its ability to internally reroute the upper octave sound back into the unit for feedback generation and self-oscillation.

Sandstorm

The Lastgasp Art Laboratories Sandstorm is an envelope noise generator effect pedal designed to output white noise following the envelope of an input signal. The pedal's effect sound (white noise) is output louder as the velocity of the input sound increases, and it is not output if there is no input signal. The Sandstorm features independent effect and direct level controls to mix for output. Additionally, the white noise can be output continuously by selecting the INFINITY switch. Key Specifications: \- Size: L:120mm W:90mm H:60mm \- Weight: 300g \- Jacks: Input, Output \- Switches: ON/OFF, INFINITY \- Controls: Effect Level, Tone, Direct Level, Sensitivity \- Power: Battery 006P or AC adapter (DC9V "barrel" type tip negative) - not included The Sandstorm is suitable for various music styles such as noise, experimental music, or loud/harsh styles like hardcore and shoegazer, offering the potential to add extra intensity to the sound. The pedal is equipped with jacks for an AC adapter, an output, and an input. When the INFINITY switch is engaged, it allows for the continuous output of white noise. The pedal's unique feature is its envelope-controlled output, meaning the white noise is engaged when the instrument is played.

Octavella

The Octavella by Lastgasp Art Laboratories is an upper octave feedback fuzz pedal designed to produce a rich harmonic upper octave fuzz tone, often described as metallic. It offers the following features and specifications: Features: \- Level Control \- Tone Control \- Gain Control \- Feedback Control \- Bypass Footswitch Specifications: \- Dimensions (DxWxH): 70mm x 115mm x 55mm \- Weight: 280g \- Mono input and output \- Controls: Level, Tone, Gain, Feedback The pedal is characterized by its ability to internally reroute the upper octave sound back into the unit for feedback generation and self-oscillation.

MISTY CAVE

The Lastgasp Art Laboratories Misty Cave is an effect pedal that creates an analog resonance echo and reverb. It is characterized by a sound of a space that is resonant to the pitches of the input signal. The pedal creates a resonant space that is inherently sensitive to the pitch of the input signal, reminiscent of delay-style feedback oscillation with a natural decay, maintaining the integrity of the input signal even when used with multiple delay pedals. Key features and technical specifications include: \- Controls: Rate, D. Time, and Blend \- CV Pedal Input for controlling the D. Time parameter via an expression pedal \- True Bypass \- Power: 9V DC \- Current Draw: 100mA \- Dimensions: 120mm X 90mm X 60mm \- Weight: 300g \- Input and Output Jacks \- On/Off Switch \- Power options: Battery 006P or AC adapter (DC9V "barrel" type tip negative), both not included The Misty Cave contains an analog IC called "BBD" which was used in analog chorus, flanger, and delay circuits. It can create mysterious echo sounds with floatiness, similar to drifting through the air, and can sound reminiscent of the Indian "Chikaar" (Sitar), but with its own character. The pedal increases the playability of instruments over other delay pedals, and the dedicated D. Time control gives manual control over which note oscillates. The "RATE" LED flashes depending on the rate to feedback the echo sound.
