The Pigtronix Philosopher’s ToneGermanium Gold LTD is a new version of the classic Philosopher’s Tonecompression/sustainer/distortion pedal that has been a favorite for many guitarists. This new limited version of the Philosopher’s Tone comes equipped with 1N60 Germanium Diodes in an asymmetrical clipping format. What this translates into is a smooth top end and midrange response, creating more character and even more punch than the original Pigtronix Philosopher’s Tone. If you felt that the original circuits in the Philosopher’s Tone were brilliant, wait until you hear how the Germanium diodes add to the overall character of thiscompressor/sustainer pedal. The clean side of the Philosopher’s Tone remains the same – dial in your Treble and Volume to get the signal you desire. Use the Sustain Knob to dial in the amount of compression you need – this will provide a sustain unheard of in many compression pedals, and retain the original integrity of your tone. The Grit knob acts as a blender control, and you can dial in more or less grit, depending on your tastes. Your clean and overdriven tones from the Philosopher’s Tone can be blended perfectly – with just the rightamount of grit for your playing. The Pigtronix Philosopher’s Tone Germanium Gold LTD really bringssomething special to the world of compression stompboxes. With Germanium diodes, a more refine treble response, incredible sustain, and smooth overdrive on hand, this is the compression pedal to have on your board.

The new version of the Philosopher’s Tone will astound you. Of course, the original version was one of the best compressors/sustainers available…but the Germanium Gold LTD will give you much more smoothnessin your top end and a punchy but not overbearing mid range. The Grit knob, now reconfigured to blend your signals, will give you even more tonal variety. The transparency, sustain, low noise, and touch sensitivity of the Philosopher’s tone is unmatched.
