QES Quimper made some killer pedals utilizing their tube technology.
The AcoustaGlow will bring to life any acoustic / nylon.
Less than 20 of these were made. Grab it while you can!
The ULTIMATE in ANALOG tube amp simulating pedals!
GLOW Pedals” use the all new proprietary…
Solid-Tube-Technology™”(STT)
Developed by QES to take “tube tone” into the 21st century and beyond!
-
- The FIRST pedals to ACCURATELY produce tube tone and dynamics in an all ANALOG format giving maximum tube style compression and classic overdrive at any volume!
- Indistinguishable from actual vacuum tube amps
- The “GLOW Series™” pedals will never “clip” like a simple diode based distortion or overdrive pedal! Instead, “GLOW Pedals” use an “engineered” overload technique only found in QES “Solid-Tube-Technology™”(STT) based products.
- Go DIRECT into any PA, mixer, or even your stereo or computer speakers!
- All Analog – Nothing Digital – No Latency
- Exceptionally Low Noise – Perfect for single coil pickups
- Ideal for Live or Studio use
- No High Voltage – Standard “Off The Shelf” Power Supply
- Designed, Engineered, and Manufactured in Port Townsend WA USA
The whole idea here is to have authentic, warm, fat “Tube Amp Tone” in a simple, analog pedal to go DIRECT! According to career musicians currently using it, that’s exactly what we’ve accomplished here. Great for touring, studio work, performing and even practicing at home through your stereo or computer speakers!! Have the option to leave that heavy amp at home! OR “tube-ify” your acoustic amp for rich, warm, tube amp tone with overdrive capabilities for your acoustic if and when desired!!
Daryl M. (referring to his new AcoustaGlow purchase) says: “I was going to dump my (acoustic) “X” amp and get a tube amp, but not now! Don’t need it! Have all the tube tone I need now!”
Now go direct into your DIY recording software for amazing results, greatly reducing the amount of time needed to mix recordings!
The Retrofier™ Roadtripper “Glow Series” is the ultimate in analog tube amp simulating pedals. An unprecedented, no nonsense, built to last solution for running direct while maintaining authentic tube amp tone and dynamics.
The “Glow Series” will never “clip” like a simple diode based distortion or overdrive pedal, instead they use an “engineered” overload technique only found in QES “Solid-Tube-Technology™“ (STT) based products.
The Glow series includes the Warm Glow™ (electric), the AcoustaGlow™ (acoustic), and the Bass Glow™ (bass), each voiced for it’s particular instrument. Once you’ve had one… you won’t think of going without it!
(Pedal does however, included a bypass switch for those rare moments you might desire to bypass it.)
