Tortuga Effects
Hand built in Renton Washington, Matt of Tortuga Effects knows great guitar tone. We should know, we worked with him for more than 12 years! His philosophy is simple, take a classic design, improve it with high quality components, add innovative and useful features and then build it in the best way possible. We stock the full line of Tortuga Effects. Give us a call or stop in for a demo, you may even run into Matt!

Martini Dual Analog Chorus/Vibrato • $299.00
The Martini™ is a lush, analog chorus who’s tone is truly intoxicating. With two different speed controls that can be switched on the fly, The Martini™ acts as two completely different pedals in one. The second channel also has a switch for “Shaken” or “Stirred” to select either chorus or vibrato to add even more tonal combinations to the mix. The Martini™ also features a real bucket-brigade analog delay chip at its core which gives it that true, old-school chorus warmth and swirl. So, belly up to the bar, skip the brew and instead, have yourself a classic Martini™.

Neptune Opto-Vibe • $299.00
A classic Univibe® has a big sloshy sound but it’s kinda big and to manually control the rate you need yet another big pedal. The Neptune™ stays true to that classic ‘vibe tone without sucking out your midrange and it’s less than half the size. You can also manipulate one of the two sets of ‘Slosh’ (rate) controls by hovering your foot above its magic optical sensor.

Standard Issue Phaser Dual Control Phase • $299.00
The Standard Issue Phaser™ is based on the classic Phase 90®. It’s been modified to have a bit more slosh with less of that nasally, upper midrange that you would usually associate with a phaser effect. It also has two sets of depth and rate controls, so it’s like having two pedals in one! The Standard Issue Phaser™ has been optimized to work perfectly with guitar or bass. Note: it does not protect against Klingons.

Yeti Fuzz-Stortion • $299.00
The YETI™ is a massive, tight sounding fuzz that’s almost a distortion, so we decided to call it a “fuzz-stortion”. Anything from that sloppy 70’s fuzz to a modern high gain “wall of tone” can be achieved with the YETI™. Find him, listen to him howl and don’t be afraid to make him angry!

Wendigo Silicon Fuzz • $269.00
The Wendigo™ is the close brother to the Tortuga Sasquatch™ but with the addition of silicon transistors, this monster takes on a whole new form. The Wendigo has a tight, rich distortion that blends extremely well with an amp yet still has all the characteristics of an over-the-top classic 70’s fuzz. Like the Sasquatch, the Wendigo also has a the “Make Him Mad” freak-out mode that can be controlled and mastered with your guitar volume and tone knobs. The Wendigo has been optimized to work perfectly with guitar or bass.

Sasquatch Germanium Fuzz • $299.00
The Sasquatch™ is a rich, full fuzz based on the old school Fuzz Face® circuit. It has been modified to be more balanced and efficient while retaining all the classic tones everybody wants in a killer, hand-build, Germanium transistor fuzz. It also has a cool freak out mode that sounds like nothing you’ve ever heard before. The Sasquatch™ has been optimized to work perfectly with guitar or bass.

Crazy Eight Octavia Fuzz • $299.00
Previously known as the Hazy Fuzz Experience, the Crazy Eight™ is not for the faint of heart. It produces an octave up sound with a sort of ring modulator flavor and in this case, a ton of thick fuzz as well. It also has a second footswitch to turn the octave on or off. The Crazy Eight™ works great as a solo boost because it sends your amp into a massive feedback that Jimi would be proud of.
