Why buy a PAST11 pedal?

Every PAST11 effects pedal is handcrafted and individually tested to ensure you get a great product.

  • Hand crafted in Australia by an electronics engineer with decades of low noise analog circuit design and more than 40 years of guitar playing and collecting

  • Optimum blend of silicon and germanium for sweetest tones when cranked

  • Headphones socket for riffing on the sly (no, not Bluetooth … hard to do in an analog pedal!

  • Low noise design – critical components, including all transistor amplifier stages, have dedicated low noise power sources which give >40 dB power supply noise rejection (in many pedals, transistors source current from the 9V supply which gives only a few dB rejection of supply noise!). No high-K MLC capacitors are used in the signal chain.

  • High reliability – all capacitors are rated 35 VDC or higher (no 16V electrolytics!) and all components are reputably sourced.

  • High input impedance (600 kΩ) to avoid ‘tone sucking’

  • 9V battery or external 9V supply with reverse voltage protection, with the battery easily accessible

  • Each pedal is individually tested and comes with an inspection and test report.
