Scream Honey is not a name of a product, is a spirit, representing the top-notch overdrive tone in the world. The SHXC is the latest flagship model of the Scream Honey family in 2023, carrying the finest level of the family so far, It is the culmination of a decade of research. The creation process of SHXC mainly contains two steps. First, we made the tone to get 99% similarity with original Centaur, and then, improving and perfecting the tone to a new level based on this. The SHXC is the first product in our Scream Honey Renaissance Overdrive Project (R.O.P.). The purpose of the R.O.P. is to redesign the two most popular overdrive pedals in history and do improvements to make them even more better than the original one. If you are a fan of Klon tone and you already own Centaur or KTR, meanwhile your subconscious tells you that there is still room for improvement, the SHXC will be your ultimate pursuit.

The MenaWatt is based on the other, other British amps from the 60's and 70's.

Now you can have your "meat" and the 'pudding' too. This new v.III version adds the power gain control to the top of the pedal.

Build time 1-3 weeks

Controls Gain - Brilliant/Normal - these are the first stage gain controls in the circuit.

Think of them in parallel, like a vintage amp with jumpered inputs. The Normal side is thick and fat, the Brilliant side is bright with a tight bottom.

EQ - this equalizer is the same passive eq found on a HiWatt amp. I recommend starting with all controls at noon and adjusting to taste from there.

Vol - thes sets the overall volume of the pedal

Internal Trim Pot - This is the Power Gain control. Think of this as the master volume from an amp. Turn up for more power tube type of distortion

The Platinum overdrive preamp succeeds in generating the iconic British Silver Jubilee® amp tones that will take you to another era.

The Silver Jubilee® model produced in 1987 and ranks at the top of most Marshall™ enthusiasts most wanted list. Part of the allure is because players like Joe Bonamassa, John Fusciante, Alex Lifeson, Steve Morse, Rich Robinson and Slash have raved about this.

The Platinum is expertly designed with hand-selected discrete JFETS that give a distinctive blend of classic plexi and high gain Marshall™ style tones. Just like the legendary amp it features two channels, Rhythm for a wide range of clean sounds up to creamy crunch and Lead for full throttle juicy solos.

By replicating the unique Bass, Middle & Treble tone stack of the valve amp, the Platimun delivers versatile sonic capabilities, shaping the overall character of your sound. The Presence control, functioning as a classic presence knob by applying negative feedback, adjusts the dynamic response and high frequencies of the pedal to be used with any cabinet simulators or recording interfaces. Placing the Platinum further down your effects chain reveals its ability to function like a true preamp capturing the exact tones and behavior that makes the Silver Jubilee® amp great.

When you design a pedal, it can take years to get it into production and because of the march of time you can be blindsided by a sudden obsolescence issue with parts. The ER-2 suffered this fate, in these circumstances you can either retire the pedal or you can take the opportunity to redesign and improve the pedal… we opted for the latter.

So, ER-2 Block 2 was born. Block 2 refers to the iterative process of improvement that aircraft go through during their service life. In this case, the ER-2 Block 2 has at its heart our same innovative take on the Univibe circuit but with a much-reduced current requirement so that it is more compatible with a larger variety of power supplies. The noise floor is just as low as it was before but the ability for the ER-2 Block 2 to absorb and relish aggressive fuzz and overdrive levels is greatly increased. ER-2 Block 2 is the same as ER-2 but improved where it counts, and to go with its improvements it is furnished with a new art design.

The ER-2 Block 2 was designed from the ground up to be Univibe perfection. We wanted to deliver decade spanning classic Univibe modulation that enables you to sound like as many of the classic records that use the effect, as possible. We decided to take it much further and create our dream Univibe, shrinking it and retaining a simplicity of use that belies the pure analog complexity within.

With just 4 rotary controls and two footswitches, this analog pedal has fairly simple parameters but so much to offer. Aside from the usual Univibe controls, the ER-2 has an Offset control, allowing you to tailor your Uni-vibe sound to your preference by subtly changing the way the LFO inside ramps up. Our version of the classic Univibe we believe is improved in scope, quality and fun-to-use factor. The premium sound is enhanced through the use of premium components all wrapped in a beautiful custom engineered enclosure.

Each pedal offers the following features:

Four knobs to control Intensity, Offset, Speed and Volume. Two foot switches; ON/OFF and VIB/CHO giving you the ability to have a fully wet signal when engaged. A beautiful laser cut anodised aluminium enclosure wrapped in a blue/black sparkle powder coat base. Engineered to be robust but functional with recessed knobs, sloped front and top mounted jacks. 9-volt operation centre negative, and standard DC input Size: (W)100mm x(L)125mm x(H)53mm Current Draw - 50mA

The Voodoo Vibe is a mini Uni-vibe pedal with 2 different modes, Vibe and Chorus. You can switch modes by press and holding the footswitch.

Voodoo Vibe was inspired by the Dunlop® Uni-Vibe® for its gorgeous sound easily associated with Hendrix’s bending facial expressions in his 60s stage performances.

NUX's modern-tech DSP yields a perfect combination of both worlds: analog and digital. Unlike the original Uni-vibe, now you can power the Voodoo Vibe with 9V instead of 18V. Using DSP technology, NUX is able to offer a mini pedal with Smart Tap Tempo function. And it’s easier to enhance the Chorus mode without volume drop issues in the digital world, while still retaining the same good vibes and analog sound.

Adjust the Intensity knob first:

In Chorus mode, it will change the depth of the sweeping effect. In Vibrato mode, it will change the degree of pitch modulation.

Adjust the Speed knob last:

At lower settings (counterclockwise), it will produce slow, sweep effects. At higher settings (clockwise), it will produce a rapid, shimmery pulse.

Vibe-Bro is the result of several years of intense planning, experimentation and plain old down and dirty hard work. Created by a team of respected "old school" industry professionals, we wanted to recreate the past as closely as possible and yet add some modern day design techniques without denigrating the natural tone and personality of the original circuit. It was not easy. Design changes were made up until the last minute and we will always be tweaking the Vibe-Bro as needed to give the player a truly great tonal and playable experience. Every Vibe-Bro is hand built by a team who really cares about quality. Sometimes several hours are spent by the "Shin-ei Tone Team" tweaking a unit for its maximum goodness. The Vibe-Bro can never be a mass produced effects pedal. Production numbers are small so great care can be taken to voice each individual unit as close to the originals as possible. We want the user to be able to stand the Vibe-Bro side by side to an original 60's vintage Uni-Vibe and hear no noticeable differences. We believe we have achieved that goal. When you play one, we think you will too.

BYPASS/PREAMP SIGNAL PATH You can choose either the "TRUE BYPASS" or the original vintage vibe circuit "PREAMP" mode via the "Signal Path" slider switch on the back of the unit.

SIZE MATTERS Vibe-Bro has been engineered to be pedal board friendly. Measuring 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" x 2 1/2" it will take up about 20% less space than an original Uni-Vibe..

SHE COMES IN COLORS Vibe-Bro is offered in both "VINTAGE BLACK" and "MACHINE GUN GRAY". Occasionally we will offer the Vibe-Bro in some custom colors as well. Due to production scheduling, not all colors are available at all times.

QUALITY UNDER THE HOOD The Vibe-Bro is built using many NOS electronic components and original Shin-ei "old school" flavoring. Check out the footswitch for instance. It features the "Shin-ei" logo on it just like many of our pedals did back in the day!

VIBE-BRO INTERNATIONAL Besides the stadard 120 volt North American modelS, international Vibe-Bro models are available in 100 volt, 220 volt and 240 volt configurations.

This is a natural full spectrum overdrive that allows your full signal to come through. Everything from low gain to high gain and great for rhythm and leads. I have made three updates from the original: a low cut control, an internal mode switch and a new addition EQ shift. The original design allows all the lows to come through and sometimes it becomes to much. The low cut knob allows you to dial back as much of the lows as you want. I added an internal mode switch which allows it have the original full gain circuit (signature) as well as a second mode that boosts a little volume, less compression with more clarity (custom). The EQ Shift allows the player to have the original spectrum control and a new mode that cuts lows, warms up the treble and adds more gain. Spectrum control is not a normal tone control as it sculpts the mids and treble by cutting or boosting those frequencies leaving the lower mid areas intact which is a very unique design.

Chimey, thick and articulate, the Menatone Top Boost in a Can is a true marvel of an overdrive. The first of its kind, the Top Boost in a Can is the first pedal to utilize the entire circuit of the amp its based upon. From sparkling cleans, to the elusive "edge of breakup", to full blown class A amp meltdown, it's all in there with a twist of a knob... and, with a full British EQ to compliment the goods, you might just find an endless stream of creativity is waiting at your feet. Plus, the Boost side is independant of the Top Boost circuit.

The Lovepedal Englishman is a realistic cranked Vox tone in a small box allowing that revered sound to be had at any volume level, from any amplifier. Featuring Volume and Tone and 3 modes of Fail, the Lovepedal Englishman can provide clean boost, semi clean boost, or all out British overdrive.

The Eggnog is a single-channel tube overdrive and preamp pedal going back to the small, yellow-patterned combination amplifiers made in Fullerton in the 1950s. Based around a 12AX7 tube running at high voltage (250VDC) to accurately capture a low-powered Tweed's feel and breakup characteristics, the overtly American preamp circuitry can transform any clean amplifier into a raspy box of vintage tweed goodness. The tube is pushed by an always-on MOSFET gain stage, giving your guitar a helping hand in nudging it towards the spongy, saggy character we know and love in those old amps once they break a sweat. But if you’re in the mood for a little extra juice, stepping on the second footswitch activates the Boost level knob, giving you control over how hard the tube is being pushed. The Eggnog also has ample output on tap to feed a power section directly, bypass your amp’s front end via an FX Loop return, or give a healthy signal to any modern IR cab sims. If you’re a fan of the Southern blues-rock of ZZ Top; the boxy, honky breakup of Joe Walsh in his prime; Keef’s raunchy rock & roll; the screaming lead tones of Mr. Bonamassa; or (at the extremes) the “excitable” low-end of Neil Young*…the Eggnog will deliver those syrupy, original American tones in spades.

ROY™ is a dual-channel tube preamp and overdrive inspired by the vintage Top Boost amp—the “Voice” behind many classic records from the British Invasion era. ROY™ delivers those sweet, ringing clean tones and the "shattered" upper-mid breakup without sounding harsh or brittle.

It features two identical channels, each with separate gain and volume controls. This design allows you to switch from clean to overdrive with the press of a footswitch while maintaining control over the volume level. It's like having two separate preamps dialled in for clean and overdrive tones.

ROY™ includes a classic dual-band tone stack. This unique EQ features highly interactive Treble and Bass controls that inversely affect the mids. Both channels share the EQ section.

Another notable feature of this circuit is the Tone Cut control: a master treble roll-off after the EQ. You can shape your tone using the EQ and then adjust the Tone Cut to reduce harshness in the top end while keeping your core sound.

ROY™ combines a high-voltage transistor in the first gain stage with a 12AX7 tube operating at 260V. This setup delivers natural tube compression and a “spongy” amp-like response.

ROY™ works well with other pedals and can serve as a clean tube platform at the end of your signal chain. It’s a simple and effective way to add a vintage British voice to any amp or direct rig setup.

ROY™ offers external channel switching and the option to turn the pedal on/off via a 3.5mm jack. Like all our preamps, it includes a wall-mount power supply and a plug specific to your country.
