Why ER-2 Block 2?
When you design a pedal, it can take years to get it into production and because of the march of time you can be blindsided by a sudden obsolescence issue with parts. The ER-2 suffered this fate, in these circumstances you can either retire the pedal or you can take the opportunity to redesign and improve the pedal… we opted for the latter.So, ER-2 Block 2 was born. Block 2 refers to the iterative process of improvement that aircraft go through during their service life. In this case, the ER-2 Block 2 has at its heart our same innovative take on the Univibe circuit but with a much-reduced current requirement so that it is more compatible with a larger variety of power supplies. The noise floor is just as low as it was before but the ability for the ER-2 Block 2 to absorb and relish aggressive fuzz and overdrive levels is greatly increased.ER-2 Block 2 is the same as ER-2 but improved where it counts, and to go with its improvements it is furnished with a new art design.
CONTROLS:INTENSITY: This control adds more of the ER-2 vibe into your signal. It allows you to control how subtle or intenseyou want the modulation effect to be.OFFSET: This allows you to change the way the Univibe sounds. it’s a subtle effect but gives you the ability to change the Univibe ramping to your own taste.SPEED: This controls the rate of the ER-2 sweep moving between, so slow it is barely perceptible through to fast and crazy.VOLUME: This changes the volume of the effect. Add more for a louder vibe and less for a quieter effect. FOOTSWITCH: The Left-Hand footswitch allows you to have a classic Univibe style chorus sound or when the footswitch is switched in (LED on) the Vibe setting is selected, and the pedal only outputs a wet signal. The right-hand footswitch switches thePOWER: The ER-2 is designed to work at voltages of 9V DC. This should be from a quality centre-negative power supply such as the Gigrig Generator or Voodoo Lab Pedalpower series. Do not attempt to use this pedal with other voltages or polarities.COMPONENTS: To ensure consistency, reliability, low-noise, and tonal supremacy THE ER-2 is made with extremely high-quality components. 1% metal film resistors, WIMA and Panasonic capacitors where possible, high- quality Op-amps and robust through hole plated PCB’S. In short, all of this means you won’t have to worry about your pedal, and it should give you many years of inspiring tonal bliss.
