What’s new?
High fidelity, high headroom.

In 2018 we released the most versatile analog circuit we’ve ever made. It had a big bird on it and now we’re doing it again. 

Condor HiFi is built around the OPA1662 op-amp to deliver lower noise and a more high-fidelity response than the original, giving you vivid character where you need it and absolute transparency where you don’t. 

We also borrowed the power supply from our Preamp MKII to internally boost the voltage up to a whopping 30V. This makes Condor a friendly partner to instruments of all kinds and gives you all the space you need to wildly boost without unwanted clipping.

Magical Mids

Magical Mids

Condor’s parametric mids are the key. Freely sweep the frequency spectrum and find the sweet spot to push, scoop or slice to make everything sit just right.

Resonant Filter

Resonant Filter

Give your sound a synthesized edge with Condor’s one of a kind low-pass filter. Create cutting emphasis and howling lead lines, or captivating sweeps using expression control or Condor’s built-in modulation.

Multi Modulator

Multi-Modulator

Hidden within Condor are multiple flavors of unique modulation that can be mixed and mingled, from tasteful tremolos to hypnotic sweeps. Add, subtract, and tweak to discover modulated hybrids that are yours alone.

Drive
Clean Channel / Dirty Channel

Kick on Condor’s drive when you need some grit, for everything from a sparkly boost to full-on soaring crunch.   

What sets Condor’s drive apart is its interactive relationship with the different EQ blocks. You can use the pre-gain bass control to push it beyond its limits and the post-gain mids/LPF to lift it up and give it resonant punch. 

Rich and responsive overdrive to bring it all together.
