The "Swiss Army" Fuzz & Boost
The Solarist was designed for the discerning Fuzz and Rangemaster player, and those looking for a huge variety of sweet sounds at their feet. Switchable NOS Germanium and Silicon transistors. An Analog Preset which allows you to create 2 wildly different sounds and toggle between them - and that's just the fuzz side.
High Quality Components. Handmade in small batches.
Analog Preset
Footswitch
The A/B footswitch (center) brings versatility to a new level. It toggles between 2 sets of “Input” (think guitar volume knob cleanup) and “Bias” knobs, so you can create 2 wildly different sounds, and toggle between them.
Selectable
NOS Ge & Si
Transistors
Toggle between germanium and silicon transistors at will for both the Fuzz and the Rangemaster boost. The fuzz is a pair of germanium GT404B (BART) transistors, a pair of NTE123 silicon transistors, or a mix of both. For the Rangemaster, select a germanium 2N1308 transistor or a silicon BC108B. One listen and you'll know this is an exceptional combo.
Pickup
Simulator
The Pickup Simulator allows you to place this pedal anywhere in your signal chain without affecting the sound. This opens up a world of creativity when it comes to pedal order.
Versatile
EQ Controls
The bass knob sets the fuzz's treble/bass level. The "Range" switch for the Rangemaster boost toggles between 3 EQ modes. You can also have different EQ settings for each (A/B) mode, with the "Bass B" switch on the back, which makes B mode a fixed treble/bass level. Internal trim pots make the EQ even more adjustable.
