Futura Envelope Chorus

The Futura Envelope Chorus by Paradox Effects is a full analog effect that offers a wide range of Chorus/Vibrato tones while providing interactivity with the envelope of the guitar signal. It features a BBD Chorus and a full analog signal path, along with an in-house built optocoupler. The pedal includes intelligent switching for envelope activation, allowing for both latching or momentary activation. The envelope swell direction for rate and depth can be controlled via toggle switches. The blend control ranges from 100% dry to 100% wet, and there is a level control to ensure apparent gain balance. When the envelope is active, the pedal offers various controls, including sensitivity to the picking dynamics, selection of parameters affected by the envelope follower (Rate, Depth, or Rate + Depth simultaneously), and the ability to choose the direction of each swell (upward or downward). The Futura uses a 9-volt DC power supply with a positive barrel, negative tip at the center, and a 2.1mm diameter. The pedal is handmade in Tijuana, Mexico, and was available for pre-orders starting February 2019, with a street price of $219.99. It is designed for musicians seeking a versatile and expressive modulation effect with unique control over the envelope and LFO parameters.

Obsidiana Octave Layering Engine

The Obsidiana Octave Layering Engine by Paradox Effects is a multi-voice, polyphonic octave machine designed with two types of filters and a unique feature set. It features a 1 pole low pass filter and a 2 pole resonant low pass filter, each offering distinct characteristics. The pedal responds well to both chords and single notes, processing broad signal spectrums while seamlessly combining the power of a DSP with maintaining a completely analog direct signal for an overall warm and balanced voice. Key Controls: \- OCTAVE DOWN: Controls the level of octave down. \- OCTAVE UP: Controls the level of octave up. \- DIRECT: Controls the Dry signal output. \- FILTER: 1p and 2p filter options with specific tonal adjustments. \- EXP: Expression pedal TRS input for controlling the filter parameter. \- LAG: Controls the space between the attack and the voice of the note or the octave ramifications. \- REGEN: Adjusts the feedback of the octaved signals to provide more upper and lower octaves to the overall wet signal. \- RAÍZ: Toggles between conventional octaver tracking and "crystalized" octaver with syncopated ramifications. \- VOZ: Toggles between Obsidiana voice and Shift voice mode. Specifications: \- Power Supply: 9vDc (No battery option) \- Min. Current Draw: 100mA \- Dimensions: 125(D) x 95(W) x 55(H) (with jacks and knobs) \- Weight: 350g The Obsidiana Octave Layering Engine is recommended to be used with a regulated 9 volt Dc power supply with specific dimensions and polarity for optimal performance. The Raiz mode decomposes the sample signal to create routes with nested delays, forming soundscapes of octave particles, generating a syncopated sensation with each iteration. The pedal also offers a unique feature with branching octave trails that can create syncopated rhythms or layers of reflective evolving pitches. The pedal's ability to create syncopated rhythms or layers of evolving pitches makes it suitable for a wide range of musical applications, from ambient textures to experimental soundscapes.

| Carmesí Phaser

The Carmesí Phaser by Paradox Effects is an all-pass phase modulator available in 4 and 8 stages, each offering a distinct vocal sensation classic for this type of phaser pedal. In 4 stages, the phase movement creates a swaying warm shift, while in 8 stages, the effect can become more throaty, akin to a voice speaking in a lucid dream. The LFO can induce long phase shifts, generating a sonic mirage all the way to out-of-the-ordinary swirling phase. The pedal features the following controls: \- FASOR: Controls the level of the phaser effect. \- DIRECTA: Controls the direct signal amplitude. \- SENDERO: An envelope follower being processed by a sample and hold system, generating phase shifting steps as you attack your instrument. \- 4/8 ETAPAS: 4 stages offer warmness and up-and-down phasing, while 8 stages provide a more throaty effect. \- RESONANCIA: Increases the vocality of the phaser, controlling the phaser’s feedback amount. \- VELOCIDAD: Speed of the modulating wave/speed of the sample and hold in sendero mode. \- INTENSIDAD: Deepness of the modulating wave/sensitivity in sendero mode. \- ENFOQUE: An arrangement of low pass filters that sculpts the color of the mix and the regeneration’s character of the effect (resonance tone). \- EXP: TRS input for expression pedal, assigned to the Velocidad knob, and can be used to set the max and min range of the phaser pedal. Additionally, the pedal features a Sendero mode, which is an envelope- sensitive sample and hold, creating modulation steps in the phase, evoking percussive sensations, responsive harmonic rhythms, or dynamic phase shiftings. Technical Specifications: \- Power Supply: 9vDc (No battery option) \- Min. Current Draw: 100mA \- Dimensions: 127(D) x 95(W) x 55(H) (with jacks and knobs) \- Weight: 350g It is recommended to use a regulated 9-volt DC power supply with the pedal, with a 2.1mm diameter positive barrel and negative center. Using a power supply with poor regulation, isolation, and filtering can result in unexpected noise or unwanted higher voltages that can damage the pedal.

Arquitecto

The Arquitecto by Paradox Effects is a unique reverb pedal featuring two cascading modulated reverbs, each with different time, voicing, and two depth modulation settings. The pedal is designed to provide a wide range of reverberation effects for various musical applications. The two reverbs in the Arquitecto are named Reflector and Diffuser. Reflector emits a bright-voiced reverberation with a shorter time, while Diffuser produces a darker, deeper sound resembling the loss of intelligibility in a large enclosure. Each of these reverbs also features a toggle switch for adjusting the modulation, allowing users to explore different tonal possibilities. The Expand control is a momentary switch that expands the decay and feedback of either the Reflector or Diffuser, providing the option for self-oscillation effects. This feature enables users to create unique and evolving reverberated sounds, from ambient washes to cavernous landscapes. The Arquitecto operates using a 9-volt DC power supply with a positive barrel and negative tip at the center, featuring a 2.1mm diameter. The pedal draws a minimum current of 85mA. It is recommended to use a regulated power supply to ensure optimal performance and avoid unexpected noise or operational issues. Overall, the Arquitecto by Paradox Effects offers a versatile and innovative approach to reverb effects, making it suitable for musicians and sound engineers seeking to explore creative and distinct reverberation textures in their music production and performances.
