MALEKKO WOLFTONE HELIUM OCTAVE DISTORTION
Sanctioned by Todd Wolfgram, Malekko is thrilled to release our hand-built, all-analog Wolftone HELIUM pedal.
A brief history of the Wolftone pedals: in the early 2000's, our friends Studio Electronics released the Todd Wolfgram designed effect pedals, the Wolftone HELIUM. These pedals have since earned almost mythical status due to their intense distortions and unique sounds which were unlike anything else available as well as their rarity.
Now, after months of close work with Todd, this updated version by MALEKKO of the legendary HELIUM features a second WOLF setting to augment the original pedal's two position octave sonic palette and has been designed to operate with a 'standard' 9v neg tip power supply. The HELIUM is an Octavia style distortion pedal coupled with an intense octave up effect. Its 'Texture' and 'Octave' switches will take your sound from a vintage Tychobrae scream to a clear, sweet, singing octave, while the 'Mix' control lets you blend your original fundamental note into the effect. The interaction of gain to dynamic response work together to make the Helium the most versatile and pivotal "octave up" pedal to date.
Controls:
The Texture switch (Coarse/Full/Smooth)-
This controls the quality of timbres from the octave section. Choices are "Coarse" (bright & edgy), "Full" (unmodified vintage octave tone) and "Smooth" (sweet, singing tone).
The Octave switch (Wolf1/Wolf2/Vintage)-
Switches between a traditional octaver tone, Wolfgram's tighter high-end octave tone (W.1) or new modern Wolf 2 setting.
The Mix knob (O2 to He)-
Controls the mix of the direct signal and the octave up tone.
The Drive knob-
Determines amount of distortion, from a subtle edgy overdrive quality to a full-on sustaining saturation.
The Volume knob - Controls final output volume, with massive gain on tap.
The pedal is powered by a 9v DC adapter (neg tip) or internal battery snap.
