Tsakalis Audioworks Six Booster, Overdrive, Distortion

For many years we have wanted to create a truly mind-blowing overdrive / distortion pedal that would be small and practical yet would offer huge powerful tones, natural feel and flexibility. And of course, to do that we needed reference. So we decided to combine all the good stuff found in the legendary Timmy, Blues Breaker and King Of Tone pedals, and try to come up with that extra something that would take things even further. The Six - Booster, Overdrive, Distortion is the culmination of a long period of modifying and prototyping and countless hours of testing and swapping ICs, capacitors and diodes. Not willing to stop experimenting until we had a pedal that would really speak to us in the studio and on stage, we decided to completely nerd out and try some unconventional methods. It was during this process that we discovered something really innovative… Looking for that magic ingredient, we decided to think out of the box and removed all the capacitors from the audio path (coupling capacitors), which resulted in a more natural feel than ever before and respect to the original tone of the guitar without any added compression or color that would be coming from the coupling capacitors. By applying what we call cap-less technology®, you can really hear the character of your instrument and consequently your own hands!

Main Features:
• Boost / Overdrive / Distortion Effects Pedal
• 6 modes of Booster-Overdrive-Distortion selectable by a rotary switch
o Booster (BS) - Clean boost that easily breaks up at higher settings
o Overdrive 1 (OD1) - smooth overdrive with apparent mids
o Overdrive 2 (OD2) - more compressed and “creamy” version of OD1
o Distortion 1 (DS1) - naturally responsive amp-like distortion.
o Distortion 2 (DS2) - DS1 with added bite and sustain
o Overdrive 1 into Distortion 2 (OD1 + DS2) - Chunky dirt tone with unique attitude
• Featuring Cap-less Technology® - removing all coupling capacitors from the audio path – for more natural feel and emphasized character of your instrument
• Integrated switchable voltage doubler - increases internal operating voltage 18V - for more headroom and amp-like response
• True Bypass Switching
• Handmade in Athens, Greece
• Powered by 9V DC power adapter (2.1 mm, center -, 10 mA current draw)

The Six Boost Overdrive Distortion is powered by a 9V supply (center-), and features an advanced internal power supply with a voltage doubler, letting you choose 9V or 18V be the dedicated toggle switch. Just like with tube amps, increasing the voltage means more headroom. At 18V, the pedal behaves more like an amplifier with tons of headroom and a slight difference in the Overdrive and Distortion modes, which tend to have more clarity. At 9V it sounds “dirtier” even at lower volume and in Booster mode it starts to break up more easily.

Our daily endeavor is to bring the sound that lives in our head to life.

For us, building pedals means to inspire musicians who inspire us.

It feels like yesterday when founder Chris Tsakalis was looking for feedback on his new custom built – tube driven overdrive, from players who he repaired gear for in Athens. That first attempt, that grew up to become the “Gravity Spot”, was the spark needed to gather the attention of the local musical society.

A few years later, and with a wide range of effects to share with the world, came our first international trade show in Frankfurt followed by the NAMM show.

We believe in the process of hand building and we plan to keep it that way. We believe in simple and easy to use pedals which provide the player with many different options without getting in his/her way. We believe in quality components. We believe in research. We believe in interaction. We believe in music.

This is not a job for us nor will it ever be. We live and breathe tone.
