Pigtronix Philosopher's Gold Compression Pedal with Volume, Sustain, Grit, and Blend Knobs (Gold)

Pigtronix Philosopher's Gold Compression Pedal is a variation of the original Philosopher's Tone, featuring the same optical sustain engine with the addition of an optional layer of germanium-enhanced distortion.

Unique Diode Arrangement

The unique diode arrangement found in the Philosopher's Gold delivers a smooth top end and rich midrange response, tailored to match the characteristics of the optical sustainer driving it. The clean side of the Philosopher’s Tone remains the same dial in your Blend and Volume to get your desired signal and Sustain for compression.

Grit Control

What defines Germanium Gold is the Grit control. More than a simple gain knob, Grit acts as a blend for the supreme germanium-enhanced distortion folded into the unit.

Knob-By-Knob

This pedal features volume, sustain, grit, and blend knobs. The volume knob sets the overall output volume. Sustain knobs sets the amount of sustain. Grit knob blends in a Germanium overdrive stage. The blend knob mixes your compressed effect with your clean signal.

Designed for Rich Response

Featuring the same groundbreaking optical compression of the original Philosopher’s Tone, the design behind Germanium Gold sought to prove a simple theory: Germanium-enhanced distortion would only make this better. Sweet drive and midrange response tailored perfectly to the optical sustainer.

Glimmering Gold

In a niche corner of the cosmos, Marvin encountered a shrine to his previous work on Philosopher’s Tone.
