Someone once told me If I had only said that you can nail The Smiths, How Soon Is Now? with this pedal it would have said everything but here's a product description anyways...

 

If you like the rolling growl of a good sustained overdrive, imagine having a bed of tremmed-out fuzz to lay it on. What if you could then fine-tune or sequence that wavy overdrive sound? Or maybe you want a cutting fuzz mixed in with that crisp clean so when it’s time to hit your boost, there’s another layer of grit adding subtle turbulence to those juicy amp sky tones. That’s the dream behind the Spirit in the Sky - a boost that allows you to create texture underneath.


So what is this pedal?? An optical tremolo? Correct. A fuzz (Ram’s Head)? Correct. A fuzz in parallel with a lush, fat, sustainy JFET boost? Correct. It’s hard to classify a pedal that can be a warm surfy tremolo one minute and a face-melting fuzz the next. It’s really the range of nuanced textures that make this thing sweet. Whether sustained ambient drones or sliced-up, pulsating throbs, you’ll find yourself in the smooth highs of a celestial universe. 


- Parallel boost/fuzz - controls include: gain—boost // tone and sustain—fuzz // blend

- Analog optical tremolo - controls include: rate, shape (square to sine wave), and depth

- Flow toggle (A/Bs the tremolo to either post-fuzz or post-boost)

- Tremolo on/off stomp switch

- Master on/off stomp switch (affects the tremolo as well)

- 9 volts standard center negative 

- 13mA draw

A brilliant combination

Adding a blend control and a tremolo to a fuzz is a genius idea. It gives you lots of new tones from very subtle harmonic backgrounds to wild modulated distortion. One of my favourites this year.

Worth every penny!

The pedal is solidly built and looks and sounds fantastic. Timothy Allen (see review below) summed it up perfectly. It isn't just a fuzz or a tremolo it's something new and different. If you are thinking about purchasing this but still on the fence check out some of the reviews on Youtube. You'll be amazed at what it can do. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for something a little out of the ordinary. Keep innovating Heather. Look forward to what you have coming next!

Excellent

Top quality and sound. Better than the other "like" pedals I have heard and played. Excellent build and look. Brings your board to the next level. Love the special editions. Keep them coming.

Spirit in the Sky: The unvarnished story.

1) Here's what it isn't. It isn't a standalone tremolo; you have to engage some version of the gain structure to use the trem. The tremolo settings need to be varied between the boost and the fuzz; it's quite possible to have plenty of trem with the controls zeroed, and to want more on the fuzz side. It isn't a neutral boost; it imparts a dark flavor to the proceedings. Not way dark, rather like turning the tone control down to eight. The fuzz level is the master volume, meaning that it also controls the boost level; it can be a bit fussy when using the blend control.
2) Here's what it is. Tonally excellent. The tremolo SOUNDS great, and the controls have a nice range [aside from the depth compromise addressed earlier]. The boost is tasty. The muffy fuzz is a great example of that breed; thoroughly furry without being lost in the mix. The coolest feature is blending the boost and the fuzz; adding this to the ability to assign the tremolo to one or the other allows for some great background textures.
It took me a minute for you to find the fun inside, but I'm really, really glad that I did. Super nice stuff!
