In late 2023, we had a cool idea for a compact pedal, based on a recording technique pioneered in the 1950's… This radical, yet deceptively simple technique elevated great recordings to downright incredible, enhancing the depth, character and tonality through a process called Double Tracking. This simple, yet elusive concept was initially executed by recording a track twice and overlaying the two [nearly] identical takes on top of each other.

Fast forward 70-some years and we can now create "double-tracked" sounds in real-time, delivering the full, rich and complex intensity that was once only possible by employing slick studio tricks during a session!

The 2023 compact DoubleTracker was an instant hit, and we received a ton of feedback and praise regarding the pedal, but there was a reoccurring theme within…

Make it STEREO!!

Well, it wasn’t easy, but we are VERY proud to say: we did it! And it sounds marvelous. (Literally marvelous, as in something one will marvel at/about.)

The DoubleTracker Stereo is now here, offering an expanded doubled-signal delay (on the primary/left channel) ranging from 3ms - 178ms, and just like the original, the DoubleTracker Stereo affords the ability to augment the tuning of your second/doubled track by up to +/- ½ of a semi-tone.
The DoubleTracker Stereo further expands on the magic of the original by including two discrete, individual and isolated signal paths (primary/left, and secondary/right), creating a truly rich and organic expanse of your instrument. (This thing sounds great on bass guitars, keys, and even vocals or in the studio!)

Three simple yet powerful controls allow you to quickly dial in the intensity, latency and variance of your second track(s). This smart approach instantly brings fullness, vitality, and character to your passage or song. It's almost like chorus, almost like slap-back, and yet at the same time: its neither of those effects, nor a combination of them. Its Double Tracking.

It sounds downright incredible, but this pedal doesn’t stop there!

The DoubleTracker Stereo features two modes of operation: SYNC and COMP, as well as a fast-action preset and our super-easy-to-use EXP jack. More on these features below:

When in SYNC mode (indicated by Red LEDs), the DoubleTracker Stereo’s 2nd voices are matched in tune, and when set to COMP mode (indicated by Green LEDs) as one voice raises in pitch, the other lowers in pitch (and vice-versa). COMP Mode dramatically increases the stereo field (a direct result of a phenomena known as the Haas Effect), and with a modest (or extreme) Spread setting, the sound can best be described as: Ampitheatric. Almost like an instant arena.

Using the preset is a snap: Simply dial in your favorite settings and press the SAVE button once. The Preset LED will blink three times and your preset is now saved (for up to 42 years!!) and can be toggled on or off instantly, at any time, by pressing the PRESET footswitch.

If the preset wasn’t easy enough, you’re gonna LOVE the EXP option.
To use an external expression pedal, simply connect your favorite expression pedal (following the connections below) to the EXP jack and turn the desired control(s) to the “EXP.” marker found at the terminal end of their clock-wise rotation. The control(s) are now assigned to expression pedal duties.

Its that easy.

To resume knob control, just turn the knob away from the EXP. marker. Yes, its that easy, and you can change which control(s) are assigned to expression pedal duties at any time, on the fly: in real time.

Expression pedal wiring connections:

• Tip – Wiper
• Ring – High
• Sleeve - Ground

Connecting your DoubleTracker Stereo is both simple and intuitive, and the pedal offers Mono-In/Mono-Out, Mono-In/Stereo-Out, and Discrete True-Stereo-In/True-Stereo-Out configurations!
Connections are quick and easy:

• Mono-In / Mono-Out - connect to:
  Primary Input* & Primary Output*
• Mono-In / Stereo-Out - connect to:
  Primary Input* and both Primary & Secondary Outputs**
• True-Stereo-In / True-Stereo-Out - connect to:
  both Primary* & Secondary** Inputs, and both Primary* & Secondary ** Outputs

*Primary input/output marked with single triangle
**Secondary input/output marked with double triangle

Powered by your choice of "industry standard" 9VDC pedal power (not included), consuming approximately 73mA @ 9VDC, the DoubleTracker Stereo is not only a powerful stereo enhancer, suitable for live pedalboard use and studio work alike, it is the secret-weapon you didn't know you were missing.
