    Deliveries

    SHIPPING TO THE USA – The Royal Mail has created a new PDDP (Postal Delivery Duties Paid) service, which will calculate exact costs at the moment we book your shipping. While we are happy to absorb some of the costs, if the cost of the pre-paid duty is significantly more than what you have paid when placing your order, we will be in touch to request the balance is covered by you.

    If in doubt, get in touch and we can give you an accurate quote in advance.

    About the HUNGRY ROBOT The Lumen


    The Hungry Robot The Lumen is a state-variable FET-based overdrive pedal with no diode clipping at all. As Eric at Hungry Robot says, " I challenged myself to create an overdrive that used no diode clipping. The most common approach for an overdrive is to send an amplified signal into a clipping section where diodes chop up the waveform and distortion is create. I opted for a more natural approach of cascading FET gain stages. The distortion is created by soaking the transistors with gain. To me, this method provides a more organic, tube-like saturation than a clipping section."

    The Lumen's State-Variable Filters

    The Hungry Robot The Lumen uses an active tonestack in the form of state-variable filters, commonly found in synths. Offering more clarity and tonal presence than the traditional passive tonestack, the circuit uses 3 filters (low pass, band pass, high pass) to actively amplify each frequency band.

    Turn an EQ control all the way down for a flat EQ. Turn it up to boost the chosen frequency range.

    Clean Blend

    The Lumen also features a Clean Blend control. Set it above 12 'o' clock on the dial and it will boost your original signal for added clarity!
