At last, the analog vs. digital argument is finally laid to rest - Introducing the Guyatone Optical Series of effects. Combining the functionality of digital control with the unsurpassed warmth of analog audio, the Guyatone Optical Series models were designed to meet the needs of the professional musician in a real world performance environment. No longer is it necessary to bring a suitcase full of pedals to a session or to search through menu screens during a gig to achieve the sounds you are after. Practical, versatile, portable and intuitive, the Guyatone Optical Series offer a plethora of essential analog tones in a compact, easy-to-use package.
The Guyatone Optical models feature 100% analog audio paths based around custom-made photocouplers that are hand-selected at exacting tolerance ranges. All audio control parameters are easily accessible and adjustable from the units’ front panels, making menu scrolling a thing of the past. Based upon some of the most desirable vintage circuits, the Guyatone Optical effects take these classic sounds of the past and launch them into the future by offering improved performance and additional features.
At the heart of each Optical model is a proprietary CPU controller that was custom-designed by Guyatone. This CPU features a digital oscillator with 6 selectable waveform patterns whose rate is controllable via tap tempo or the manual Speed control. Rate can be displayed in BPM or Milliseconds, allowing the Guyatone Opticals to be easily synced to song tempos, external digital signal processors and generators, or each other. In addition, several different effect parameters may be assigned to the optional CV controller pedal for real-time manual adjustment. By combining classic and cutting-edge technologies Guyatone has developed a series of effects that are a true wonder of the audio processing world. The Guyatone Optical Series - truly in a class by themselves.
