USED KARDIAN / Serotonin Origin S.T. [08]

The use of carefully selected components creates a one-of-a-kind sound!
Susumu Tamura, originator of the Tube Screamer, a new effect pedal!

In 1978, the Legend pedal was born. Now, its creator, Susumu Tamura, former engineer at Maxon (Nisshin Soundwave Factory), and KarDiaN have created a completely new Tube Screamer-like pedal.
A supreme overdrive that is the product of exhaustive research into all Tube Screamer pedals.
Susumu Tamura is a legendary engineer who is no stranger to the effects pedal world. His design skills began with the creation of the Tube Screamer and have resulted in many great pedals. Mr. Tamura is currently living in Nagano, Japan, where he spends his time designing pedals, and he was able to connect with Mr. Hirabayashi of Shimamura Gakki to collaborate with KarDiaN. Mr. Tamura and KarDiaN Kitada designed the circuitry for the two engineers, and KarDiaN Kitada has a Maxon OD-808 Narrow, Maxon OD-808, Ibanez TS-808 Narrow, Ibanez TS-808, etc.. After studying all of these pedals and several others of the same model, the two engineers made their best efforts to create this pedal.

Mr. Tamura and I studied the Tube Screamer, and especially the Tube Screamer based on vintage units, which are now at a premium. I designed and developed a completely new overdrive pedal based on a TS-based overdrive called the Serotonin, which I myself created, and which has the essence of vintage pedals but is distinct from them. It is neither TS nor Serotonin, but a completely new overdrive from the circuit. However, there is certainly a sound that resounds with the Tube Screamer origin. And as a tribute to him, a metal plate with Susumu Tamura's signature designed on it is mounted on this unit.

"Serotonin Origin S.T." has a special attention to detail from the parts. The heart of the sound is a special operational amplifier selected by Mr. Susumu Tamura. I was not able to find out the model number of this op-amp, and I was also told that this op-amp was discontinued. However, Mr. Susumu Tamura has stocked tens of thousands of these to ensure his original sound. Other carefully selected components such as Orange Drop coupling capacitors and Amtrans AMRG, which carries KarDiaN's signature tone, were used to achieve a unique sound.

We also took on a new challenge with the paint job. Some of the vintage Tube Screamers have a yellow paint base, which peels off to reveal the yellow color on the surface when the unit is worn out. We have reproduced the bright green and yellow multi-layers on this machine.

It has been 45 years since the legendary pedal created by Susumu Tamura was born, and in its 46th year, Mr. Tamura and KaDiaN's Kitada have created a new legendary overdrive. Experience the wonderful Origin S.T. sound that lives up to its legendary status.
