Hamstead Redwing analogue stereo modulator

Featuring a duo of analogue BB (Bucket Brigade) circuits the Redwing covers everything from late '70s-inspired flanging, luscious chorusing, dynamic vibrato, Rotary style effects and even Ring-Modulation. Designed to capture the soul, vibe and essence of the initial analogue BB modulation pedals that went on to influence and change the direction of a whole generation almost 50 years ago, the Redwing harnesses these classic sounds while simultaneously adding some clever modern twists built for modern playing styles and rigs.

Key Features

• Pure Analogue - The Redwing features 2 fully analogue BB circuits with no unnecessary circuitry additions for a plethora of versatile modulations with zero compromises to feel and sensitivity.
• Versatile Routing - The Redwing is designed to work in both Mono or True Stereo with additional switches for phase and wet/dry ensuring it will easily fit into any rig. It also features an expression pedal out for control over speed and an external footswitch out for Momentary Regen.
• Silent Switching - Switchable True or Buffered Bypass via a GigRig OptoKick footswitch for silent optical switching with superior reliability
• 9V to 24V DC - The Redwing can be powered between 9-24V DC and features an internal isolated Switch Mode Power supply which makes sure its constantly stable and doesn’t suffer from Earth Loops.

Daniel Steinhardt of That Pedal Show says -

“Regular viewers of TPS will know just how nuts I am about great analogue modulation tones. It was an encounter with two classic pedals over two decades ago – the Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Electric Mistress and an original Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble – that pretty much changed my whole approach to guitar tone. In fact, they were also a huge part of the inspiration to start my company, The GigRig, and they continue to inform so much of what I love about playing and sound to this day.”

“Over the years I’ve always searched for devices that can not only match the magic of those originals tonally, but also surpass them in terms of sound and functionality within a modern rig. After a long development process - thanks to Peter and Brian at Hamstead - it has finally happened!”

"Testing them side by side, I actually prefer Redwing to my old Electric Mistress! And I have never preferred ANYTHING to that pedal before.”
