Spacetime is a place I feel comfortable.
They sound awesome! Kaluna is my favorite of the lot. But man engineers need to accept one thing. We need designers to make things look cool. Choosing a fancy font and sparkly lacker isn't it. Do pedals have to look cool? Yes, I think so. It inspires me to play. If it didn't matter, we'd all have JHS 3 series pedals and nothing else.
Totally agree with that statement ! When you have JAM, and beetronics you just WANT to play them and pick them years after you bought them.
You can have the same argument about guitar color and finish. If it doesnt look cool, then you might look at it as a tool instead of an instrument.
But also, the JHS and BOSS pedals are unkillable.... so nothing wrong with a good tool :)
This is a difficult thing for any and every maker. Some like JHS 3 style, some prefer EHX etc. There will never be one certain style everyone appreciates. Some like them fancy, some don't. I know players who wish every pedal was black with white text. Some prefer space shuttle consoles with blinking lights, leds and LCD-screens. No matter what style the builder picks... some are loving it, some are not.
Schottky diodes switches very quick. Of course the material they made of are silicium semiconductor.
They have a special Doping in the n area and a metall Doping in the other area. Even they have a lower breakdown voltage ( 0.4 Volt) than a normal silicium Diode (0,7 Volt).
I’ve owned the standard and high gain versions of the Kaluna. Fantastic pedals, and this new version with the voicing options is super cool.
I had two issues with the Kaluna:
1. It loses a lot of high end and punch when you roll back the guitar volume. Very dull and lifeless in my experience.
2. It does not take a boost/OD well. Easily overloaded. You’re stuck with the max gain on the pedal itself.
I don’t mean to crap on the Kaluna, it’s a fine pedal, but it has limitations that caused me to move it along.
been wanting a kaluna foreeever
These are some amazing pedals
100%

Shut up and take my money 😂 honestly, I had a version I Kaluna and sent it back because it wasn‘t juicy enough. Now the version II seems way more in line with what I am looking for.
In my oppinion Vahlbruch Pedals are the best. Expensive but every Cent worth.
I own a Saphire drive Pedal. It's already an older one but it's still supperp. 😊
Besser wie blinddarmdurchbruch 👍😁
Ja, nur so ziemlich alles ist besser als das, oder? 😆 //Kris
FIrst comment! Awesome pedals!
Am besten gefällt mir das bikini top pedal weil es grundsätzlich von mehreren nummerngirls präsentiert wird 🤭🥳
KALUNA !!!!! I saw this pedal years ago and it take my attention, sounds great. I'm impressed the other pedals too
Toooo Late to the partyyyyy
You can never be too late to this party. At least that's what I say to myself every day. 😆
We just discovered how awesome these pedals are, there might be others like us.
Cheers //Kris
I had to stop watching your clip after 10 minutes: one chef turns the (spice) controls, the other chef can only re-act how he should play so that it fits best!
This is how you spoil the broth. If I were Mr. Vahlbruch, I wouldn't be amused! Sorry folks!
Ich kann dir Aushelfen Chris: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schottky-Diode
