{"product_id":"pigtronix-philosopher-king","title":"Pigtronix Philosopher King","description":"\u003ch3\u003ePigtronix Philosopher King is a compressor, sustainer, distortion and polyphonic amplitude synthesizer.\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eThe Philosopher King takes our award-winning Philosopher̥s Tone design even further, adding a full set of ADSR controls including swell, fade, hold level, speed range, one-shot mode, selectable auto reset, CV i\/o and expression pedals for swell and fade times.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eWith the Swell and Fade functions switched off, the Philosopher King provides transparent optical compression with endless sustain on tap. Adjustable compression, sustain and treble controls allow the musician to tailor the nature of the effect to meet the needs of the material at hand. From a subtle dash of added punch to massive, over-the-top howling sustain, the Philosopher King delivers clean, powerful optical compression. The grit control blends in a layer of sweet harmonic distortion that plays nice with other gain pedals as well as amplifier-generated tube distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eThe Philosopher King̥s Swell function provides a pick triggered volume swell effect. The volume swell can be reset at any moment by muting or held open by continuous playing. This ÌÕslow gearÌÒ type effect is smooth and controllable with variable timing from extremely fast to very slow. The Fade function creates pulsating tremolo and stutter effects on its own as well as undulating amplitude modulation when used in conjunction with the Swell. Ì_The Philosopher King is a modern analog masterpiece, unmatched in its ability to re-shape the essential nature of any sound source.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cul\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eOptical Compressor with Outrageous Sustain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eSynthesizer Style ADSR for Guitar\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2; font-size: 14px;\"\u003ePOLYPHONIC (works with chords)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2; font-size: 14px;\"\u003ePick Triggered Volume Swell\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eOne Shot Mode \u0026amp; Auto Reset\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eGrit control for smooth Distortion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e2K Treble Cut \/ Boost\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eExpression Pedals for Swell and Fade Times\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eTrigger Input for External Rhythm Source\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eTrue Bypass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2; font-size: 14px;\"\u003ePigtronix 18VDC adapter included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eCircuit Design by Howard Davis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eSound Design by David Koltai\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eChassis Size = 7.4ÌÒ x 4.6ÌÒ x 1.5ÌÒ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eVoltage: 18V\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.2; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eCurrent Draw: 55mA @ 18V\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pigtronix","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":35725384155285,"sku":"RGS-PIG-PHILK","price":325.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0459\/0616\/5909\/products\/rgs-pig-philk__2.jpg?v=1597401444","url":"https:\/\/rugandhome69-com.myshopify.com\/products\/pigtronix-philosopher-king","provider":"rugandhome69.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
