The Demonizer is an absolutely nuclear tube preamp, direct
recording device, and floor pedal. The Demonizer reacts
like a tube amp's combined preamp and power amp sections
delivering tones ranging from clean progressive rock
to bone-crushing metal. The Bionic EQ allows extensive
tone shaping both pre and post tube stages, while the
analog optical compression delivers the stainless steel
polish your music demands. As the world's finest direct
recording device for guitar, the Demonizer's range and
quality of tone are unparalelled.
MP3 FILES
The following sound clips were recorded
from The Direct Out jack of the Demonizer straight
into the mixing console, where just a touch of
small-room ambience was added. The clips showcase
the versatility and harmonic richness of the
Demonizer’s tube circuitry, delivered through
the advanced analog speaker compensation network.
The tone starts here. The Demonizer's and Womanizer's
high voltage tube circuits are individually optimized
to provide each preamp with a distinctive voice. In
the Demonizer, two cascading gain stages provide huge
amounts of tube-saturated distortion and sustain, followed
by a proprietary tube output stage that provides you
with not only the sound, but the all-important feel
of a great tube head. The Womanizer's tube circuits
are configured as four cascading gain stages to create
the subtleties and nuances of a pure Class A combo.
A 14th order analog network that goes beyond traditional
techniques was developed after extensive testing
and analysis of professionaly mic'ed speakers cabinets.
This analog solution delivers a highly responsive
feel while preserving the high frequency presence
of great recorded guitar tones. When using the Direct
Out, the Womanizer and Demonizer remain fully responsive
to your picking dynamics and your guitar's volume
control. The sense of connection between what you
play and what you hear is unprecedented. If you want
REAL guitar tone direct into a console or full-range
PA, then you need the tube-driven analog signal path
of the Womanizer and the Demonizer.
The analog opto-compressor produces studio quality
compression comparable to a high-end rack unit. The
compression shapes the amplitude and envelope of the
pre-distortion signal, allowing for fat sustained clean
tones, supurb touch-sensitive clipping, sophisticated
smooth-clipped overdrive and ultra-smooth, saturated
distortions.
You're in total control with the comprehensive Pre
EQ nd Post EQ sections. The active semi-parametric
Pre EQ allows you to drive the tubes with varying levels
of punch or finese, while the active Post EQ allows
flexible tone-shaping after the tube stages.
