New Jetter Pedal - The HELIUM OD
Just like the Jetdrive, the primary design goal of the Helium was to achieve a natural, organic low-gain performance that sounds like a great tube amp just on the edge-of-breakup--not like a pedal! Making a pedal low-gain is easy; getting rid of the non-musical artifacts around the note is not!
Specifically, we tweaked the Helium with slightly less gain than the Jetdrive; we added a bit more harmonic contrast and we squeezed a bit more piano-like bass performance out of it. The Helium allows the guitar signal to be reproduced with startling transparency without sterility or stridency.
The Helium is the perfect compliment to combine with another great OD pedal (such as the GS Red or even the Jetdrive for over-the-top performance). The Helium will open up a completely new range of performance possibilities when stacked!
Jetter Pedals Get Rave Reviews in the October '09 Premier Guitar Magazine!
The Gain Stage Green, GS3 and Vibe pedals all received high marks!
The GS3 received the Premier Guitar PREMIER GEAR AWARD!! 5 out of 5 Points!
The Jetdrive was designed from the ground up to provide a new level of performance and flexibility. The channels can be utilized alone or cascaded. Each channel has a similar amount of gain but they are uniquely voiced to compliment each other.
The Lean/Rich control on each channel is both an extension and departure from the traditional tone control. It is finely tuned to a specific range of frequencies that has been optimized for maximum impact!
The rich/lean controls are very interactive when the channels are cascaded. Do not hesitate to explore their unique effect on the overall feel of the pedal!

The Jetdrive is laid out simply and symmetrically for ease of use.
Each channel is a unique circuit that was designed specifically for this pedals overall performance whether using a channel alone or both combined.
For convenience, The channels are called Blue and Green because of the color of their LED! The channels' circuits have nothing in common with the Gain Stage Blue or Green!
Just because the Blue Channel feeds into the Green channel, either one can be set to drive the other.
What this means is, if you like the way the Green channel sounds with a particular guitar (ex., a single coil Strat) set for just a slight bit of drive and the lean/rich control set to tame a bright amp, the Blue channel can then be set to drive the Green channel when cascaded.
Or, just the opposite!
Set the Blue channel up for hardly any added drive--just a volume boost with the lean/rich control set to the neutral position to add virtually nothing to the guitars natural tone. The Green channel can then be added (cascaded) for anything from grit to singing leads with the lean/rich working to taper the overall tone.
Because of the nature of the design, there is a huge range of tones and feel available!
It would be difficult to try and list all of the various ways to use the Jetdrive! Fortunately, because of the simple set of controls, it is very easy to immediately start dialing in and finding great tones!

"My GS Blue arrived yesterday...!!! This thing is amazing!!! Using your sample settings I reckon that you nailed the EJ tone... I put on ACL and with very minor tweaking on the pedal (I'm talking rolling the knob maybe a millimeter) that righteous tone was coming from my amp." - Luke Clynes
"This pedal (The Gain Stage Red) will be a hit with pro players. Very musical in the right hands. Glad I got mine early before the waiting list. It's nice to have a uniquely voiced pedal that is clearly not another TS variation. Sounds like it was voiced by actual guitar players who play on actual stages. Impressive." - Willamps (TGP memeber)
"Your pedal continues to jazz me every time I use it." - Buck Dharma
"For me, the GSR Red and Blue are my #1's. I've told you that I've sold off most of my OD's since getting the Red/Blue months back. This is significant for me, as I am not a habitual gear-flipper. Once I find something I like, I stick with it and have done so with modulation pedals, compressor, etc." - William Koch
