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 two superb Todd Wolfgram designed effect
pedals, the Wolftone HELIUM and Wolftone CHAOS. 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 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. The pedal is powered by a 9v DC adapter (neg tip) or internal battery snap. |
