Heavy Electronics is another boutique pedal maker. There seems to be more and more spring up all the time. I think that is great. I like to make ‘em myself but if you are not into that why not have more choices. I why not those that enjoy making make a lit money and share there creations with others. I am not a snob about it. Boss makes good pedals but I glad it is just not big companies like Roland out there.
The Heavy Electronics pedal I really like the idea of is the Radio Havana. But I am a sucker for Soviet Imagery and lo-fi. I think it is a good idea for a pedal.
From there site:
Radio Havana breaks all the rules and provides a tone thats reminiscent of a small transistor radio. Tinny with washed frequencies. This discrete engineered pedal loves to find the odd frequencies and push them to the forefront. Gain knob not only delivers overdrive but increases interactivity between frequencies, sometimes allowing notes to oscillate between each-other. Radio Havana uses ceramic capacitors amongst other techniques to accentuate grit and overall signal degradation. The Voltage Starve circuit, found within all of the Heavy Electronics Series One pedals, allows the user to adjust the voltage all the way down to .1 Volts. In application with the Radio Havana the Voltage Starve circuit accentuates the core function of the pedal as a whole. Perfect for breakdowns, and really makes things interesting for bass and baritone guitars. Radio Havana, perfect for the deconstructionist in all of us.
