Collision Devices TARS DLX

Collision Devices TARS DLX is a fuzz pedal with 2 analog filters inspired by the MS-20 and a deluxe version of the original TARS pedal.

It is 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.

The pedal has master volume, gain and blast nobs The gain is placed after the input buffer stage and followed by silicon gain and clipping stages. The blast knobs dials the amount of feedbacked fuzz when engaging the Crash footswitch. It can self-oscillate depending on your gain setting.

The two analog filters have cutoff knobs. The LPF cutoff runs from 15Hz to 44kHz, the HPF cutoff frequencies runs from 30Hz to 22kHz. The resonance knob controls the intensity of the signal around the cutoff frequency. Filter Volume controls the output volume of the filter.

The pedal has twoo 2p/4p toggle switches with attenuation curves, cut at -12dB/octave (2p) or at -24dB/octave (4p). When you longpress the Crash footswitch an extra unfiltered fuzz signal is added to your signal. Great for creating  nice phasing effects depending on the cutoff position. The Serial / Parallel switch puts the fuzz into the filter or use both effects in parallel.

The LPF/HPF expression switch selects which filter is controlled by the expression pedal. The Expression/CV is linked to the cutoff fader of your choice. The pedal is powered by a standard 9 volts power supply.
