The Raven...

The Raven pedal is in a class of its own- at the initial onset, the Raven is a lush chorus designed to reproduce some of the classic sounds bassist / producer Paul Raven unleashed during his 30+ years in the recording industry as an essential part of luminaries such as Killing Joke, Prong, Ministry, Godflesh and many others.

Lurking under the layer of chorus resides a layer of thick, full bodied fuzz. This concept is an industry 1st and was designed to meet the rigorous tone shaping requirements that a Journeyman of Raven's standards would demand.

To take the obsession with tonal flexibility even further we've designed the Chop Chop switch†- the ability to convert the lush chorus into a slurred vibrato unlike anything else available today with a simple flick of a toggle switch.

Because Paul Raven was not just a bass player, but a highly sought after producer, the Raven pedal serves double duty- as both a bass effect, and a guitar effect pedal. The Kaw switch† adjust the bass frequency response to provided maximum flexibility both on stage and in the studio.

To make this pedal truly unique Raven teamed with Pro Tone Pedals renowned artist Felix LaFlamme to compose show stopping artwork all the way down to the Evil Eye.

In honor of Raven’s passing and due to the excessive production time on the Deluxe Raven, we are currently making it a special order only option and removing it from the current full production line up. Each Delux Raven is painstakening built 1 at a time to Pauls exacting specifications. Due to the difficulty of the build associated with the vintage chips at is core each Delux Raven could have a waiting time of as long as 4 months.
