I'm really thrilled to share with you a very confidential update and offer.
For the last year and a half I've been working on a new production range of pedals - pouring into them every ounce of pedal and guitar tone knowledge I've gained in the last 23 years of creating guitar effects.
On April the 3rd, the new range from Red Witch will launch: The Apothecary.
We're partnering exclusively with Sweetwater on The Apothecary, and I couldn't be more excited.
There will be 5 pedals available on the April 3rd, with another 5 being released in 6 months time.
There are three key points across all the products in The Apothecary. The three critical things I wanted to offer are:
1) An utterly incredible sound- Every one of the Apothecary series is designed to be a “I just leave it on all the time, everything sounds better” pedal. A sound that guitarists can’t be without.
2) A unique, gorgeous appearance- I want players to see the pedals and immediately think “I have to play through that!”
3) Unparalleled build quality- From the premium components used, to the way in which the pedal is constructed. A pedal range that will never need to go near a repair shop. Unsurpassed reliability.
What does each pedal do?
(Full descriptions, photos, videos and individual product pages will go live on the 3rd of April)
EUPHORIUM FUZZ
A remarkable Fuzz pedal that offers a near limitless number of sonic variations. By using the Fuzz, Grain and Tone controls, guitarists can reproduce virtually any beloved fuzz sound from the last 60 years.
I've designed many many Fuzz pedals over the years - the Euphorium is the distillation of 23 years of Fuzz building experience. One Fuzz to rule them all.....
INVIDIUM PHASER
Invidium is the natural successor to our most beloved pedal: the Moon Phaser. A sublime, FET based phaser, Invidium adds regeneration to the equation - opening a glorious door to an entirely new and beautiful tonal landscape.
PLURIOUS CHORUS VIBRATO
When Andy Summers needed a chorus for the Police reunion world tour, he chose the Red Witch Empress Chorus. The Plurious Chorus embodies every beautiful facet of the Empress, but improves upon it. Quieter, deeper, subtler, wilder. The "ERA" switch allows guitarists to choose from 1970's CE-1 tones to more modern, crisp chorus sounds. Switch the Vibe toggle to turn Plurious into a magnificent vibrato pedal. Simply the best chorus pedal I have ever designed.
CYNOSIUM MODULATED DELAY
Designed to be the most beautiful, musical sounding delay on the market. Cynosium allows guitarists to choose from short or long delay mode - up to 2000 milliseconds. Analog voiced to perfection, Cynosium is able to create the same glorious self oscillation maelstrom as the classic BBD and tape delays of the last 50 years. Finally, the tape "wow and flutter" control offers players a range of gorgeous modulation options.
EPIPHANOUS DRIVE
There's a certain sound that defines rock. A sound that immediately demands the attention of a guitarist's ears and heart. The Epiphanous Drive delivers that sound. Lead or rhythm, subtle or searing, the Epiphanous Drive's switchable tone stack and multiple selectable gain stages gives you the sound of rock, whilst offering enough options to allow you to find your own, unique tone The ultimate foundation drive. The pedal you won't turn off.
Further notes on build quality:
Each pedal features key universal quality points in their construction.
- 100,000 cycle True Bypass Footswitch
◦ Most stomp box footswitches are guaranteed for a lifecycle of between 10,000 and 30,000 cycles. The switch we use in the Apothecary series is guaranteed for 100,000 cycles.
- Neutrik Sockets
◦ Ultra premium Neutrik jack sockets are used in all Apothecary Series pedals.
- Hand-wired Sockets and footswitch
◦ Whereas most pedals use PCB mounted jack sockets (and some even mount the footswitch on the same PCB) the Apothecary series hand wires the footswitch board, DC socket and jack sockets.
Whilst being a lot more labour intensive in construction, this method guarantees substantially greater pedal durability and strength than the “all mounted on one pcb” approach.
- Machined Aluminium Knobs
◦ The Apothecary series uses a beautiful machined aluminium knob, unique to the range.
The retail cost on each of the 5 pedals is $249USD.
As you've been a phenomenal supporter of Red Witch over the last few years, I wanted to give you the opportunity to secure the full set of the first 5 pedals in advance, with a special offer of the 5 pedals for the price of 4. To say thank you for your support and enthusiasm for my creations. Instead of $1,245, I would like to offer all 5 pedals to you for $996.
I'm only making this offer to a very small number of people, and would be grateful if you could keep the email, this page, copy and images to yourself until April 3rd.
This offer and page will only be available until Saturday the 22nd of March. After that date, the next chance to order The Apothecary will be on April 3rd, with the general public.
I hope you're having a truly magnificent day!
