TARS DLX

Technical Demo

Dual Fuzz
Low Pass High Pass 4 poles Resonant Filter

TARS DLX is a fuzz with 2 analog filters inspired by the MS-20.
Probably the only pedal with 4 pole resonant Low Pass and High Pass Filters.
It is a stage & studio tool to shape your sound with high precision or an experimental device for loud noise makers.

We have built only 100 units worldwide.

Fuzz, Filters … and ??

    • Gain : Placed after the Jfet transistor input stage and followed by silicon gain and clipping stages. 

    • Master : Master volume. 

    • Blast : Controls the amount of the feedbacked fuzz when you engage Crash footswitch.

    • Low Pass Filter CutOff : This fader controls the cutoff frequency of the MS-20 style low pass filter. Based on a LM13700 stage. Goes from 15Hz to 38kHz. 

    • LPF Resonance : Increases the intensity of the signal around the cutoff frequency.

    • 2p/4p toggle switches : Select the attenuation curve. Cut at -12dB/octave (2p) or at -24dB/octave (4p). 

    • High Pass Filter CutOff : This fader controls the cutoff frequency of the MS-20 style high pass filter. Based on a LM13700 stage. Goes from 15Hz to 10kHz. 

    • HPF Resonance : Increases the intensity of the signal around the cutoff frequency.

    • Filter Volume : VCA - sets the output volume of the filter. Pretty useful to adjust the filter to your setup.

    • Add Fuzz (long press Crash footswitch) :  Adds an extra unfiltered fuzz signal. The result is louder and creates a nice phasing effect and cool frequencies boost or cut depending on the cutoff position.

    • Serial - // toggle switch : Put the fuzz into the filter - or use both effects in //. 

    • LPF/HPF Expression toggle switch: Select on which filter the expression pedal acts. 

    • Expression/CV : The Expression/CV control is linked to the cutoff fader of your choice. The cutoff fader value sets the lowest value the EXP pedal can go.
