The ARTERY is a 3-way signal splitter with discrete Class-A buffers. Putting the ARTERY before and after your pedal board reinstates your tone and removes all the top end loss (capacitance) that running a board full of true bypass pedals will inflict on your tone.

With 3 outputs, the ARTERY is the perfect companion for the Mini ZUUL®,  ZUUL®,  or ZUUL®+ just plug in one of the outputs to the ‘Key In’ on the ZUUL® and your original, clean, guitar signal will be the one controlling the ZUUL®. A mind blowing amount of options are available to you with the Artery, not only can you trigger your gate, but you can send one signal to your amp and another to the interface so you are recording the signal before it hits amp saturation - with this additional control, you can re-amp the guitar afterwards to ensure it is sitting perfectly in your mix. You can also run multiple amps simultaneously, making your tone bigger than it has ever sounded.

The ARTERY is an exceptionally low-current circuit and runs on an external power supply via the DC inlet, between 9-24VDC. 

DC input mosfet protection if the wrong orientation adapter is connected. No more damage internally (the pedal will not power up).

Pedal size (W/D/H): 3.642″(92.51mm) x 1.516″(38.51mm) X 1.220″(30.99mm)

Need to split your signal? The Artery will split you 3 ways WITHOUT any signal loss...

How many times have you put a new pedal on your board to be lost how to power it... the Artery can take anything between 9v-24v...

Q: What does a buffer actually do?
A: In a nutshell, the signal is changed from hi impedance to low impedance.... this will halt signal degradation happening down cables, and restore the full tonal glory of your instrument.
Q: How do I run the ARTERY with the ZUUL?
A: You would go into the ARTERY, take one out put in to the key input of the ZUUL, then take another out put to the rest of your signal chain. This was the ZUUL only hears what your guitar is doing and nothing else. You can also run the third out put to a tuner...
Q: Can I use multiple amps with the ARTERY?
A: You sure can... you can make a stereo amp rig quickly and easily using the ARTERY!

Guess what? The watch works GREAT!
Color: Brown/Green/Tan
My previous problems with Timex were due to the thousand year battery, combined with a one or two year watchband. So, I buy a watch and wear it for a year or so till the band breaks, then throw it into a drawer and get another. At one time I had four good running watches with junk bands, in my catch all box, in the basement. One was over ten years old and still ticking merrily along! I don't get it! Is Planned Obsolescence becoming the rule of law in worldwide manufacturing organizations? Can't Timex come up with a better class of watchbands, that could match the longevity of their excellent little timekeepers? Maybe! Yes, maybe they have finally done it. My new watch has a band that is made of some kind of nylon, reinforced with, what looks like rutabaga skins, that pretty much insures that the band will last as long as the little ticking machine! Out of the box, the band was remarkably stiff. I had to bend and twist it a lot to make it pliable enough to wear. Then I had a heck of a time trying to get it safely into the band keeper! So I got a scissor and cut a little fabric off the corners on the end of the band. I figured...if the cut off parts start to fray, I can just melt them with some fire and I will be ready for another adventurous expedition to the wilds of adolph's pub! I also noticed that the watch was guaranteed waterproof down to 330 feet. I'll just take their word for that cuz there's no way in hades, I'll let anyone talk me into a trip that far south in a bunch of water! And even if the occasion did present itself, the LAST I would be worrying about, is what time it is! You know? Anyways, now that I have the watch customized to me, I am truly happy! It works well, looks Great and smells like a watch. Yup! I can recommend this gadget to anyone. Stay out of the water though! You never know what may be lurking over there behind that tree! :)

Look elsewhere
Color: Brown/Green/Tan
I have had the identical model watch for almost 20 years. Much like many of the other reviews, the crown fell off when resetting the time to a new time zone. I guess the watch was made a bit more sturdy decades ago and something about the manufacturing process changed. My watch is not easily fixable because the stem itself broke and cannot be repaired; it would need a new stem and crown since the end of the stem is still stuck in the crown. My previous watch kept great time and I found it was relatively easy to program. Because the watch was reliable for so long, I bought another even though it now costs twice as much. The new one was not functional when it arrived. The box the watch came it was damaged because it was sent in an amazon envelope rather than the small Amazon mailing box, although the watch itself seemed fine even though it was dead. I thought it no problem as I have changed the battery a few times on the old watch - the case was held on by four small Phillips head screws. Unfortunately, Timex changed their design and now the case is fastened by far less common triangle head screws. I have precision Phillips screwdrivers for several electronic devices but have nothing with triangle head screws. Of course the one screwdriver that will fit those screws is not sold independently - it is sold in a kit with several other sizes. So, I would have to buy a largely useless kit for the one screwdriver that I would use about every 4-5 years. Timex customer support was responsive but not helpful. Their solutions were to send the watch back to Timex for warranty work which may have taken months as the rep stated it would be sent out of the country, or to go to a local watch repair/jeweler and likely incur a labor charge for a watch that didn't work upon arrival. Based on other reviews, I'd say build quality and the quality control have declined over the years. Be advised; that is what you may be in for if you choose this watch.
