Studio Electronics Wolftone Helium Octave/Distortion Pedal

Helium is not just another retro tone stompbox. Its 'Texture' and 'Mode' switches will take your sound from the vintage scream of a Tycho Brahe Octavia to a clear, sweet, singing octave that Kathleen Battle would envy, while the 'Max' control lets you blend in your original note as clean or crunchy as the fans demand. The range of gain to dynamic response ally to make the Helium the most versatile and pivotal "octave up" pedal to date.
