Decoherence
Quantum physics for your pedalboard
(no PhD required)
Your sonic playground, not a physics lecture. The Decoherence drive pedal injects a universe of unique saturation into your musical arsenal, all without needing to pass a final in quantum entanglement. Built like a tank (but prettier), this pedal is ready for the road or your studio shrine.
- A sound lab in a box. Craft your own signature sonic with a wild array of gain structures, blending cascaded stages, and dual independent gain controls.
- Make no compromises. Intuitive gain controls and sweet mid-range peaks ensure you'll not only be heard, but stand out in the mix with no flub at higher gain.
- Road-ready, studio-worthy. Constructed with top-notch components and design inspired by flight controls of the early space era, the Decoherence drive pedal will turn heads on stage and last longer than your latest bass player.

Features
Dual Cascading Gain Stages
- Burr Brown Op: Amp powered at 24v for maximum fidelity and punch
- Gain A: UltraViolet LEDs for open and dynamic saturation with low amounts of compression
- Gain B: The G/S switch selects between two different diodes to change the distortion characteristics.
- Gain B Clipping switch (G): NOS (New Old Stock) Germanium Diodes: For high distortion and compression that is accompanied by a gentle rolloff of treble
- Gain B Clipping switch (S): NOS Silicon Diodes: For medium gain with a good deal less compression than the Germanium diodes
EQ
- High & Low EQ: An active EQ section allowing for +/- 10db of cut or boost. The controls are non-interactive to allow for a wide range of eq settings. The mid point between the EQ adjustments is set at 1kHz.
Robust Power Handling
- 9VDC, 2.1mm center negative barrel, 116mA current draw
- Internally boosted voltage to 24v for high headroom and clarity
- Overvoltage and reverse voltage protection
- Note: We recommend a quality regulated and isolated power supply. Our pedals do not accept batteries.
Enclosure & I/O
- True bypass switching
- Bespoke heavy duty aluminum enclosure
- Automotive grade powder coat paint - this stuff is durable!
- Solid aluminum knobs
Controls
Volume: Passive volume control
Gain A: Ultra bright UV LEDs in a soft clipping configuration. Allows for subtle compression to thick distortion. As the gain knob is turned up, harsh high frequencies are reduced and a 1kHz peak is formed.
Gain B: A “Hard Clipping” distortion tuned to provide anywhere from light texture to tight articulate distortion. The clipping selector to the right of Gain B changes the diodes and overall texture of this stage. The output of Gain B is highly influenced by Gain A.
Clipping Selector: Switches between NOS germanium diodes for a thick compressed and textural distortion or NOS silicon for a tighter and articulate distortion with more clean headroom.
High & Low EQ: An active EQ section allowing for +/- 10db of cut or boost. The controls are non-interactive to allow for a wide range of eq settings. The mid point between the EQ adjustments is set at 1kHz.

Decoherence can go from a flexible boost with hair all the way to thick leads and even some big ol' chugs all on its own! When you stack it with an already overdriven signal or pushed amp, the unique tone stack makes it a versatile tool to land on the right texture to compliment any sound you have in your head. The unit itself is rock solid and will definitely stand the rigors of festival season. Decoherence is a BEAST and has earned its spot in my chain!
