Here is a very small batch of four Mercury IV’s in a special Olive Drab colorway. Featuring eye-catching vintage Bakelite knobs and Soviet-era Bakelite aerospace indicator light, on top of our signature heavy-duty engraved faceplate, this edition has a strong presence.
Fully hand soldered and hand-wired circuit, with a selected vintage USA germanium transistor at it’s core. Signed and numbered on the inside, with a hand-hammered number tag on the enclosure.
This is an “open limited edition” batch of 4 units, which means while remaining very limited, we may release another small batch in the future if we are able to. We wanted to make more than just four, but are currently limited by available parts.
The Mercury IV is a dynamic tone enhancer, created to bring out additional harmonic character from instruments and amplifiers. The pedal features a unique, discrete analog circuit, with a meticulously selected vintage germanium transistor at its heart.
The Boost control of the Mercury IV offers a staggering 35 dB of gain, with nine (9) tone-shaping options via two toggle switches, to gently or aggressively boost tube amplifiers. The real magic however, resides in the Harmonics control; bringing more dimension and life to ones’ tone. Subtle sparkle, complex textures, and octave-like overtones can all be found here. With a sound and response like hot tubes on the edge of breakup, these even-order harmonics are independently generated, giving you full control over the mix.
